    Realistically, what should promoters focus on when it comes to pro pool?

    Now I may be radical and I have not read the whole thread but every time I watch a pool match I wonder why the commentor does not have a etch a sketch and show that the shooter is going to do with the object ball and where he is going to place the cue ball. Like Don Madden does in Football...

    Article says : "Hitting a Baseball is the Hardest Skill to Pull Off in Sports." -- Not IMO

    Played ball in college a bit. The guys that got to the minor leagues, they were amazing. The Show? Unbelievable. You have no idea what it is like to stand at the plate with a 95 MPH pitcher on the mound. It's even worse squatting behind the plate when the pitcher is ignoring your...

    Baffled

    Put some penetrating oil on the threads and let it seep in overnight. I would recommend "Kroil" but most penetrating oils will work. Then I would try the freezer after putting the butt in a plastic bag to protect it. Only then would I try the torch method but the torch method is that if...

    Something to think about.

    I could not stand watching that video. Only made it two mins and 15 seconds before the camera stepping forward and then stepping back gave me a headache. You got a message to get out, figure out how to get it out without torturing viewers.

    Ball size testing

    I have been following this thread and got amused when we started converting from the english to metric system. I am surprised that nobody has considered the thermal expansion and contraction of the billiard balls and the gauge with temperature fluctuations. As the temperature rises, the...

    "I wont look down on you for playing with strange balls. I mean, if that's what makes you happy." Sounds like his girlfriend wanted to play with strange balls! :oops:
