WPA Rules Question

In other words a really bad rule in the way it is written. I remember recently when a WPA referee called a foul on a woman player who pulled a ball out of the pocket after the game was over and the cue ball was no longer rolling. Terrible call!

I agree, it's a terrible call. Why not make the first one a warning? I'm sure news will travel fast in the tournament, and players will be aware not to intentionally break this rule, now that's it clarified.

I am looking for a table as I moved back to CT from Florida and my new home has a 20X 28 bonus room - I called Diamond and they said 99% of new tables are pro cut - they did not seem to want to do the 4 3/4 - I think that I will go with a good used GC. $8500 was their quote on a 9 foot Pro Am

I would believe that, I ordered a league cut table in 2007 from Diamond.
Aaron was my contact at Diamond, and I would call once every three weeks or so and check in on the progress. Like what Korsakoff stated in the other Diamond thread, Aaron asked me if I was sure I wanted the bigger pockets? I changed my mind and told Him Pro cut.

I actually heard guys in the background cheering, I must have been on a speaker phone. :cool:

List of pro players who stick to wood as their playing shaft

I've talked with a few actual no-shit staff players. All deny being leaned on to use a shaft/cue. WTF difference does ANY of this make?? The whole point i'm trying to make is : WHY THE F&*K does there need to be a list of players using this-or-that shaft?? What is the point?? Answer: there is none other than maybe to give some people a warm-n-fuzzy feeling knowing that someone uses what they do. Must be so rough to be so insecure because of what cue this/that person does/doesn't play with.

Besides fan-girling, I would say such discussion could potentially help decide the actual value of a cue or shaft. Is it really necessary to spend $500 on a $5 carbon tube? Why are so many players using this, that or the other? How much do they get paid to do that? Etc etc

Stu, I don't get out much these days and for a long time didn't watch any pool streams. Just lost interest and was busy with other things. But lately I've begun to follow our sport again and watch some matches. Moritz stood out for me when I watched him play. He's just got the right stuff!
