Players touching the table with the tip of cue
- Thread starter Brags
- Start date
I didn't want to go there but i tend to agree.Guy outta be a world-beater with these "cheating" aids we're allowed to use.All those advantages, touching the tip to table, diamonds, jump cues, time outs, using the stick to measure the mirror, and the bridge...yet you aren't out there beating pro's taking down tourneys with all those advantages.
I totally agree.
We should also not allow a raised hand bridge without a palm on the table.
This makes it more fair for people with short fingers.
Also, I should be able to stand on an apple box because I'm height challenged compared to my opponent.
As it is I have to play in 90's Disco Platform Shoes!
You guys aren't even arguing the proper point. The current pros use all of these "cheating aids"...I want to take these "cheating aids" away from them.
One match. One cue. That's it. Simple.
I have NO clue what speed you play so i have a question: Are you saying that if you play someone your speed and all these "aids" are outlawed you will win more often than not? Just wondering what point you're trying to make/prove. I'm guessing you play a lot of pool ALONE.
I just want these "cheating aids" as somebody called them out of the game.
The jump cue is already debated and not allowed in some tournaments. Some tournament don't allow jumping at all...so I'm not way out in left field here. The soft break was taken away too etc...how many times have I heard Corey called a cheater? All he did was figure out the break...yet you guys are ok Corey's break being taken away...but no not these things.

One of those is already a rule, a bridge is used when you can't reach the ball, nothing to do with position play. Touching tip on the table is not done to mark it but to have a reference point in your head for aiming. I touch the rail a lot when I am thinking where I want to hit it.
I thought you already had two accounts banned, welcome back.
Ya the reason you can't reach the ball is a result of your poor positional play. I would call 2 fouls on you in that scenario.

Up to you...I was playing in the bar the other week and the girl I was playing was topless. (not the good kind of topless)
What is the other player left me there, or there are other balls in the way to get closer? You are a silly silly person.
What the heck is that for? Ya add it to the "not allowed" list.
Good for them. Take the shot.

No makers marks on shafts?

I have multiple rings on my shaft at spaced intervals.

So.... No Muecci Red Dot Shafts?
No makers marks on shafts?
No rings on shafts?

I'll have to assume that this is on the "not allowed" list?

Just wondering Brags, are you an "Old Schooler"? Someone who wants things to be as they were originally designed?
The game has changed and the equipment has changed with it. Styles of play have changed. Rules of the game change as well. Do you drive a vehicle or walk everywhere because those cars and trucks are cheaters way of getting from point a to point b faster?
