Reading this thread was like watching a train wreck in slow motion 🥴

This is not the complete picture, we need to look at how the same groups perform when the opponent breaks...

Next time I play them, I will kindly offer to let them break🙂🙂

I did find 3 players at my skill level that lose significantly more if they break... I am not surprised because they are good at making balls but don't play defense so they attempt a run out every time. When their opponent comes to the table, it is wide open. For instance, one guy wins 57% when...

The problem in my area doesn't seem to be the willingness to shoot on a 9ft, it is the lack of availability. There just aren't that many around. We have 10 7ft tables and 1 9ft and the 9ft stays busy all night long. We would have to take out 2 7ft tables to add another 9ft.

I just ran the numbers for my league in the last 1500 games if the players were within 60 Fargo points of each other, the breaker won 49.4% and the non-breaker won 50.6%. This covered 431 games.

I have stayed in several Tru (by Hilton) hotels in MS and they all have 8' Brunswick in the lobby. The condition of the table is inconsistent, always with cheap slow cloth and cheap balls.

I think the package offered by a company should be in line with the attention the player can bring to their product. If Billy is under compensated by Meucci then some other company could offer more and attract Billy. If Meucci lost Tyler and or Billy, then they need to reevaluate their package.

I think it says a lot that people want to become US citizens and represent our country

What a match!

What the heck? Football?

Good match so far...6-5 FSR
