Two years ago, in February, I went to Turning Stone to play. I must have had a hunch I was going to do well. I practiced my lagging several different times. I managed to play eight matches before I was eliminated. I won all eight lags. I know I broke and ran the first rack at least four or five times. It's a huge advantage.

Any time you are at the table, and your opponent is in the chair, it's a huge advantage!

That's one reason I keep a measuring tape in my case. I've had to use it in tournaments where the director and my opponent were trying to say I lost where I knew I had clearly won. In one case, I was the winner by 1/2" which shouldn't even be controversial, but the tape made it obvious after all the usual looking from every angle. I think it should be standard for tournament directors to have one and know how to use it without disturbing the balls.

I agree, but the good ole boys around here would just look a me like I was an idiot if I suggested lagging...Followed by, "What the hell is a 'lag'?"
Exactly!!!!
You know I would say lets just all get along and just go rock paper scissors race to 1 for the lag....BUT I once entered into a rock paper scissors tourney at this local bar, something fun to do while ya drink. Well what do you know a guy who can't never win against me on the table and is always an ass throws this vertical chop hand an I threw rock. All the while he claims the scissors he threw were paper!
At that point I had to call the suicide hotline because I almost lost hope in humanity for being so retarted as to cheat at ROCK PAPER SCISSORS...much less the lag in pool. Guy named Al Mason some hustler from TX,tried to get my friend like that and I was glad to see him get his drunk a#& beat up on for a while...cheating at the lag WTF go jump off a bridge.
