I don't think Yapp's shot qualifies as an everyday shot in an everyday event. The look on his face speaks loudly about what he thought about the shot. I have seen 3C players get a referee called scoring shot only to intentionally foul the next shot turning the inning over to their opponent. We...

Cue sports is the only game where two round objects must be struck in order to score. That increases the degree of difficulty equation significantly.

Bart - we expect our pro golfers to call fouls on themselves as we see it regularly when watching tournaments. Why would we not expect the same same of pool players. I see 3C players call fouls on themselves so does that mean pool players aren't required to have the same behavioral standards?

If you don't think pool is harder than golf, try coming through the losers bracket in a 128 person two day tournament. Try playing for your cash against an equal player for 12 plus hours or more. If you watch closely, whether you play both games or not, you can see the difference between the top...

When I was much younger, the Billiard Congress of America was the governing body for rules in Cue Sports. It doesn't appear so today. As different tours, sponsors and events became common, rules began to blur and change. One common rule issue is the frozen ball stroke. We all know the issues...

Just understand most garages slope 11/2" for every 20 ft. So, you'll have one end higher than the other. The type of table may be impacted by this. For example GC1s and earlier Brunswick models along with 3C tables did not have legs that had adjustable footings.

The score in the match is irrelevant. Its either a foul or not.

I think a self called foul was in order. Doing that would go a long ways to encouraging other pro's to display good sportsmanship. Frankly its what's needed in our game to set the standard high such that other players might pick up and embelish the same.

Dr Dave your previous instructional videos in this area have helped immensely in determining "bad/questionable" hits on balls. Whether video was available, the reaction of the cueball following the path of the eight ball should have been the determining factor for the referee to call a bad hit...

There are ways to get at the T-Nut sideways on GCs. That involves removing the cushion which leaves the opening to the T-Nut available for removal. You can also drill the stripped bolt out and retap the T-Nut. Also, there are ways to route out the rail around the frozen bolt and remove it but I...

Prize money is not prize money is not prize money. Pool rooms that host events do so knowing that there're going to lose money. They host/add money as a give back to the players and to advertise the room and maybe try to leave their mark a bit on the sport. Major tournaments are a different...

It looks like a repair could happen with positive results. I'd recommend getting a letter of provenance upon repair completion. Many top cue makers don't like taking on repairs that are not there's.

I think that the DCC tournament with all the side events; Big Foot 10 Ball, Banks Ring Game and Formally Held 14.1 Challenge were a true test of endurance. For any player to play those events and win the "Master of The Table," clearly requires stamina and consistency of game not seen in any...

In a tough money match, a player scratched in the pocket. His opponent says, "how's the water from the well taste?"
