    More hilarity from Strickland and Sigel in Accustats series...

    If you don't like watching 1-pocket, skip to the end of the video for some fun. Recently, someone posted a straight pool match between these two characters, and Earl was whining the same thing after the match.

    The history of predator low defection.. interesting video

    By updating the internal structure with their V-Tek** construction, Predator engineered the 314-3 to be 3% lighter at the front end. This reduction in mass results in a claimed 4% decrease in deflection compared to the older 314-2, while simultaneously making the shaft stiffer and stronger. **...

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    So in your aiming system, the aim point for all cuts between 30 degrees and 90 degrees is 4mm from the CB center? Why would you think the aim point should be the same for all those cuts?

    What size is the butt on this?

    As a youtube video will tell you, the bottom of the slider has a series of 10 marks, and the left most mark is considered 0. You need to look to the left of the 0 mark to find the closest whole number on the scale above, which is 31mm. Then you examine the 10 marks on the bottom of the slider...

    Quickest way to recognize what fraction the hit is?

    Fractional aiming doesn't work for me. I tried deciding on a fractional aim point before my PSR, then aiming at that fraction, but I found I was more accurate aiming by feel. On the other hand, if you use Poolology to calculate the required fractional aim point beforehand, then it's just a...

    How do you find your opponent's weakness?

    Would you play the same way against a person who is playing pool for the first time v. a 700 Fargo player? For instance, a safe against a player who is playing for the first time only requires (a little) distance between the cue ball and object ball, where a safe against a 700 Fargo player is...

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    Max has a really sweet stroke. Another plus for that video is that if you concentrate on the background it proves the Earth is flat. Max must be having a tough go this year with the Artemis mission to the Moon and back being front and center in the news, so give him a like and subscribe.

    New Firmware Update for the DigiCue

    What does "with a blue PCB silkscreen" mean? I purchased my DigiCue Blue in April 2024.

    Have you wanted to try a CF shaft but want a shaft that is closer to 13mm?

    I have a Becue. The shaft is warped and the cue feels dead in my hands. It sits in a case unused. Yet, I almost bought another Becue when Seyberts was selling them for $750 a few months ago. I hemmed and hawed until the 12.5mm shafts were no longer available. One thing that made me hesitate...

    OB slow roll to the pocket and stops at the very edge - foul

    Ask "someone" to quote you the rule number in the WPA rule book so you can confirm.

    Chicago pool happenings

    I remember taking taxis from downtown to the Armitage area. You had to drive within one block of Cabrini Green. At the cross street there was a stop light, and I always prayed the light was green, so I didn't have to be sitting in a cab stopped at a stop light only one block from Cabrini...

    Oops I did it again (Yapp's) foul in a final, a second time!

    an opponent would arrange to get a cell phone over the balls and film the shot. Personally, I don't make my opponent initiate a filming, I ask for it myself. Pro refs should be able to do the same thing.
