For the record, I have no idea if my cue ball passed the head string. I positioned it close to the head string, but made no special effort to be right at the bleeding edge of the head string. So did my tap that moved it maybe 3 millimeters put it in play or not? If it did, does it matter...

So I think I fully understand you now. I guess I'm still struggling to accept this is the rule, for the following reasons: • Onepocket.org says: "6.3 Cue ball after a foul: Following either a pocket scratch or the cue ball jumping the table, the incoming player has cue ball in hand. Following...

you're saying this is a real rule then? Is it written anywhere? I tried to look it up and found it nowhere online including onepocket.org. edit: oh I think I was unclear on what you meant here. So you're saying, no foul can occur until after the cue ball crosses the line, specifically to avoid...

Had a (loud) debate on this, and figured you guys would know. Playing 1 pocket doubles, opponent scratches, so I bring the cue ball to the kitchen, position it where I want (behind the line), and get down to take my shot. On a warmup stroke, I tap the cue ball. My understanding of the rules...

A few people commented to me my cue (OB pro plus) felt soft, mushy, or flimsy. I personally never had a problem with it. I don't really chase after "hit". I just like low deflection. The hollow section helped make it that way. I can tell OB got gripes about this because after they revamped the...

If they want to be successful, they probably should just buy the brand name (which still brings some fond feelings from people) and then sell a lineup of shafts that's part of a larger company/website. I dunno if they can make the business work as-is. Besides changing the lineup and fixing the...

I'm not surprised at all. Put it this way: They couldn't figure out how to sell me, a 20 year customer, on a new shaft. They were just not well-run. They blew so many little common-sense things. I thought when Mark Griffin bought it, they'd improve, and they at least streamlined the lineup. But...

always look foward to your stats!

Long time no post. There's been various numbers thrown around but the video is up, and I count 19. For this who won't go on facebook, they said something about putting it up on youtube also. The run starts at Justin's 13th win and ends after his 31st win... he actually plays safe at rack 32...

Figured I'd post a score update for the curious. It's 75-66 Justin as of 7:30 , which includes Morra's 15-game spot. It was 70-61 to start today, so that means they played 10 racks in 2.5 hours, assuming 5pm start time. 15 minutes per rack. Even for slow players, that's nuts. ~5 minutes is...

The problem lies with the employee's communication skills. It's not a big deal that they left balls out and not a big deal that someone hit them. But the employee scolded them for A (using cleaned pool balls, which is kind of their purpose, to be used) when the customer's infraction was B (not...

For some reason I got the urge to reply to this one. Maybe because I see some stuff in John that I recognize. I figure that he's probably off the forums for the same reasons I am. One of issues is that in pool rooms, and on AZ, there's a certain type here that can be hard for some of us to...

I'll be likely to attend. I got no favorite, it'll be down to whoever breaks better. I don't think barbox congestion is super relevant with 9 or 10 ball, It's mostly an 8b problem. Especially if the break is working. I see there still a popular myth that you can rig a 10b rack by gapping it...

I can't play it without feeling bored but I do enjoy watching. But it has to be very high level. Watching anything less than top-level can get really tedious. Even with a couple of solid A-players you get those games that never end, with balls all uptable.

thanks so much for these... for whatever reason it's hard to find 3C videos with good english commentary. I appreciate that they took the time to convert and upload this, even though it won't make them any money. I wonder if any of their carom stuff was profitable?
