Derby for instance...if your are in the 700s Fargo you have a good chance of cashing? The rest...pretty much...NOPE. Am I close?

Just curious what the group thinks...in both cases (break cue and jump cue). Is getting a great outcome from each type of cue 95% shooter technique and only 5% the cue's production properties? Is this close for each type, or are some break cues that much better and some jump cues as well? (I...

I am very surprised not seeing Shane or Corey...8-ball masters.

Valley Bar Box Tip: Quiet down that loud hollow sound when the balls are made. Before you put the slate back onto the box...put as many pillows and blankets as you can inside the table. Make sure they do not interfere with the balls rolling down the tracks. My table is so quiet. Also put a...

Cue piston machine, template for 8-ball rack, same ball order and cue ball in exact same spot for the break. Will you get repeatable results on ball positions after the break or will randomness happen due to chaos for various reasons?

40 years in the APA now. I still love the weekly matches and having fun trips to Vegas 19 times now...too fun! I ignore any drama and just play pool.

You take an average league player (example 4 level APA) and have them practice for 4 hours a day for a year. They must do this on their own with NO outside help. No, books, no DVDs, no YouTube, no teachers, no more league matches, nothing. Does the player move up a level in skill? I say no...

I'm curious...just as purely dollars spent...which group of people spend the most "pool related dollars" (memberships, weekly fees, entry fees, cues, shirts, food, drinks, travel, etc.)? Pro players. Nope. Just not enough of them. Pro player viewers. Nope. Just not enough of them. APA League...

What should happen and what the rule is may be different. I'm in search of a rule.

Shooter performs a break and pockets 1 solid. Cue ball spins backwards and contacts the tip on the break cue before the shooter lifts the cue out of the way. 1) Ball-in-hand foul? (There are no ball-in-hand fouls after the break in APA currently.) 2) Re-break by same player. 3) Re-break by...

Too all 'Streamers'...first of all thank you so much! Secondly, please do NOT show multiple tables. Watching streams are for learning and entertainment. In order to learn we need to see large images of their hands, bridges, shot choices etc. Showing small images limits the viewer on...

Here is the proof...

Or...you could be a polite human being and only respond if you have a thoughtful response that applies to the topic.

Just curious...how much of a breaking advantage does a carbon fiber shaft really give you when breaking? If a machine broke with the same perfect stroke 100 times with carbon fiber then maple...what difference would be seen? Or does carbon fiber only make up for issues in the stroke? I'm...

Do you you think the pro players all watch every recorded match to analyze and learn like NFL teams do after every game?
