    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    At first I thought that also. But the spin induced throw would not have grabbed. Hell, Yapp had enough side spin on that even after contacting the 4 first the 8 still found the pocket!

    Chicago pool happenings

    That's great, it has been years since I have played 3C. I do remember most of what SJM showed me. It seems every time I go to Chicago area I find pool rooms. Certainly not like it used to be but not a pool desert either.

    Thanks for the info. No billiard tables certainly throws a wrench into my plan. I will still check it out, it has a rich history.

    My Oldest son and his family live near Cafe Billiards. I have peered in the windows a couple times but I want to stop in soon and show my son 3C.

    I also am enjoying the mixed doubles. There seems to be more emotion, watching the teams rely on their partners brings in comedy, personality and emotion. Seeing the game from a global perspective makes me proud to be a part of it.

    Made my own break tip from scratch and also did my first tip replacement with it

    Very nice! Looks perfect. I would hate to use chalk on that. Does Masters have a black and blue chalk?

    Thanks for the info. Politics aside, it looks like another week of me not getting much done around the house and property.

    Early Impressions Of The Diamond Professional

    On the Diamond, try taking some speed off the break. Instead of 80% taker down to 60%. Try this in a few locations and see what happens. The way I discovered it was being to lazy to hinge the break cue and just breaking with a pricey playing cue. I figured I would just open them up, not taking...

    small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

    My Diamond is fantastic for the game. I focus on one hole but it sees a lot of rotation, eight ball and a little straight pool. 4.5” pockets were considered tightish when I bought it in 2007.
