Everyone isn’t Efren, and he does have a jump cue and has used it in competition. Now what?
Freddie <~~~ votes for no jump cues for pro events
Yeah lets be olde timey and stuff. Hey i once fashioned a cue by burning away the non cue material by camp fire. Slapped a whale bubber tip on it and called it good! Who wants a tight rack anyway? When you could have fights and arguing and cheating from guys who cant run out ever.Lets bring back green cloth while we are at it . oh yeah slow green cloth yup. need a stroke for that stuff. hey how bout some 5 1/4 inch buckets too/?
Im 63 and feeling young here. Do you guys play regional tournaments? Have you not noticed jump cues and magic racks are almost in every tournament now? Even Derby City which i think was the last hold out used them.We arent going backwards. FargoRate system and all the new stuff is great.
Settle down, RAM Shot.
I came to AZB tonight because I wondered sho runs Derby. Hardly any video online. Like its a secret or something? Poool needs life and exposure. Funny I learnthrough this thread Derby still doesnt allow Jump cues. They also dont allow anyone to watch what happened there. Lol Missed opportunities abound with old thinking.
Well, Greg Sullivan wanted people to come to the Derby. Did you look on the Streaming Forum? InsidePoolTV/Billiard Channel, Pool Action, Roy’s Basement, TV Mike, and of course Accu-stats streamed the DCC. Might want to take note for next year.
Yes, and he refuses to show anything about how he plays.
Funny, he just skips over that and continues to tell everyone else about how things should be done.
Guy might not be able to even get the 9 to hit a rail.

Turning Stone was no jump cues as well. Pool is a 2 dimensional game at its best. A good kick or masse should be encouraged. So more tournaments banning cheater cues is a good thing...imo
REAL TALK.
Why is it that people continually worry about what others are using/ doing.
If you dont like using them, DON'T! no one wants to hear you tell us how you you dislike that change has happened in pool.
Lame post from the OP.
Trent from Toledo
I feel I have experience with the put up or shut up on this forum..... lol...
I was called out by a few due to me "seemingly" bragging about ghost races, 14.1 runs etc....etc... but, I didn't shut up, I put up.
After I put em up, I took em down.... but i did put em up even though I was and never will be a world beater.
If he's gonna keep telling people they are scared about their stroke, need to learn to kick etc...etc... well, he better show something regardless how strong/weak it is..... OR chill.
Though I dont use one, jump cues arent going away just for the fact that there's too much money to be made...
As for tight racks, maybe standard racks should be used and you shouldn't be allowed to study the rack accept from where you're breaking. No binoculars!..LOL... Youd have to trust your opponent will try and do a quick but fair attempt at racking. Also maybe there should be only 3 places allowed to break from. Either side rail or straight on.
This would make the layouts after breaking less consistent and more challenging imho.

Yes!!!! Cornerman's post, like yours.... is spot on.
Outlaw jumping, stroking in the air before the shot, tapping the cloth where you want whitey to stop, touching the rack after it's racked, whining you need the cue ball cleaned before the next shot and talking with anyone in the audience. Not a warning...you forfeit the match.
Amen!!!:thumbup:
The people who play this game are it’s own worst enemy.
Now I didn't get to watch every gambling match at the Derby, but the few I did see that were rotation games between top players all allowed jump cues. The players seem to be ok with it for the cash.
Looks like we've found a leading candidate for "Pool Nazi" as in Seinfeld's classic. "No, no pool for you". Seriously, no "air stroking"??? WTF??? You must be REAL fun to play with.
