Good shooting and good luck :thumbup:
Thanks a lot Buddy... Much appreciated. Hope we make a good showing.

Well my team shot pretty damn good this weekend. When made it through the Vegas Qualifier. See you guys in August. I hope my 8 ball team wins too. Going to be a long weekend coming up. I feel like I have been playing about the best pool I can.
Congratulations! You'll be seeing a couple of my buddies from Idaho there!
BCA 9B started last night. I won 13 of 18 (we double play). Easily should've had 15 of 18 but it is what it is.
A guy on the other team was gunnin' for me because I beat him in both meetings of 8B. 3 games, I tried a safe on the 2 and it snuck out, he ran out then he broke and ran. I got him on the next game. Next round I got him all 3 games
We had our 8 ball APA World Qualifier this weekend. My team had people on Vacation this weekend so we had to start with a automatic forfeit putting us 3 in the hole. Team played great. Couldn’t be more proud of them. I won big in all my matches until the last one. I played another 6. He was a class A Jerk. Running off to get a official every other rack. I never got in to the match and he beat me 5 racks to 2. The loss really bothers me. I really hope I get to play him one day soon.
So we lost in 8 ball overall. But still looking forward to Vegas with my 9 ball team.

Our 9 ball ltc's are being held this weekend and neither if my teams are in it but I thought about going down and play in a singles qualifier being held simultaneously but just cant seem ti get my lazy rear in gear. Have league tonight anyway.
Ok...brace yourselves!
4-4 race in 8 ball. I get up 3-0, on the hill pretty fast. Then my blood sugar gets whacky (not diabetic though) and I cannot think straight.
45 innings...18 safeties by me and 8 by my oppenent...and TWO HOURS later, I lost 4-3.
Then I lost 17-3 to a 7 in 9 ball.
But, strangely, had to do a playback in 8 vs a strong 5, and I won 4-0 in 15 minutes.
Weird.
That describes amateur pool to a T. It's the lack of consistency (among some other things) that keeps our status as amateurs intact.
Maniac (also in that crowd)
Looking forward to it.... and thanks a lot.
I have not posted in here the last couple weeks. I did start 2 threads about my 9 ball break and posted some results in those threads.
Tonight I played just 9 ball and it was vs a 7. I won 46-34 in a 46-55 race . I did shoot good but the outcome was due more to a good break by me every time and the cue ball leaving the table twice on my opponents breaks.
A couple lucky leaves by me when I missed also helped also. I am really liking this new meucxi carbon pro aside from getting used to a softer hit than the revo but it is getting there. Cue ball stopped short of where I wanted it a couple times but managed to make those harder than they should have been shots lol.
Oh, and you'll be seeing me there as well. We threw a team together at the last minute and went through the A side of the APA Masters Vegas qualifier to knock out the 3-time defending champs :thumbup:
I read those threads, good job. It's amazing what a little focused practice can do if you're struggling in a part of your game. Speaking of the cue ball coming up short, one little thing I've been practicing is getting the confidence to shoot longer/tougher shots as needed, i.e. you can pocket a ball and try for a hero leave and if it works you're out but if it doesn't work you're hooked OR you make the shot and just leave a longer/tougher shot. Been focusing on that for a while and it has definitely paid off.
