Nah, you shot that long shot (I assume it was frozen) so well, that I was like wow, pressure shot, close ball in the path of the shot, and you came out on the + side. I've posted my shooting, but not from matches, just from me either practicing a certain shot, or breaking and trying to run racks.

You don't strike me as "that guy" at all, but I know people and I've been told about others in APA who even on 100% obvious shots, pointing or calling is not good enough, must mark the pocket.

Had someone a few weeks ago who was a 7 ask if I wanted them to mark the pocket, or just call it, and we both agreed, when you get to a certain level, it becomes disrespectful to make someone call an 8 ball, especially when they played really great runouts to get there.

Yup, I like that idea you came up with. I need to improve my safety play for sure. Honestly, your safe probably has a more reliable outcome

Yeah, I didn't catch him calling it, but he must have...I'll review for fun at some point.

Do you see the safety I was talking about? Fanning that ball with some high left on the far right side and then hitting the rail and nuzzling right up against the ball?

I missed him calling it, must be a few seconds before the video starts. I would think he'd try for the side where the cue ball is.

What's wrong with the table? My impression from the other thread is you are happy with it. You broke and ran 4 in one day, which is better than you were doing on the GC.

I am in a rare minority as far as shots like that. Not saying it was the best solution, but I frequently bypass a runout to play a safety and get ball in hand.

See people with 50 runouts or more, whatever it is. I just play to win, and if that means 3 safeties because I don't feel 100% confident I can get out, then I lock it up.

Obvious you play well, for sure one of the better players on here. Kudos to you, was fun watching. Please let me know if you have more videos, I like your style.

I seemed to lose my draw with the CF shaft/s I've tried.

Well I can tell you why my shaft isn't in anyone's bag. It's because they aren't technically on the market yet. If you remember, you had noticed a post of mine that showed my personal shaft which was a hybrid prototype and you asked me about it, to which I replied. They aren't on the market yet, I'm still finalizing some stuff, but if you want to send me a shaft I can convert it for you.

You sent me the shaft and the rest is history. I appreciated the business and the kind words. Unofortunately, I didn't have a cue around that had the pin type you had so I couldn't test it either. The one I made you is also slightly different than the one's I make since it doesn't use my ferule or tip.

I didn't like sending it out untested so I can't attest to the hit, but that's all good. You seemed satisfied, which is all a manufacturer can ask for and converting that shaft for you lit a fire under me to finalize Ontarget Billiards and get some stuff to market, so I appreciate it. People can look forward to Ontarget Billiards to start coming on and if you wanna call to chat or want something special in the mean time, just let me know.

I thought that in 9 ball it was an APA 9, and in 8 ball an APA 7?

I played with carbon fiber for the first time at last week's BCAPL tournament in Vegas. It was my perception that maybe carbon fiber produced more drawing power, but I can't say for sure, maybe it was the playing conditions? But it sounds like you think this is the case, yes?
