So I just moved to Boynton Beach anybody in the area want to play some tonight?

So going by those stats Karl Boyes is ranked 4th and Shane is 7th what kind of spot can Shane get from him playing a long set? Or how about Mika who is 8th? What was the score when he played Shane in his own poll hall again? Yeah.....

The very first super billaiards expo I attended, I had just got into town and was sitting at the Lone Star in King of Prussia, having a beer, when this fellow sat next to me and asked me if I was a pool player. It was Lloyd and we talked for over an hour, he was a super nice guy and he seemed...

That's all? You are selling yourself way short in the union world ;)

That is going to be well over 50% with even B+ players, Open players would kill it. Of course I have never played this way against others but I practice 8 ball this way and I get out alot.....and I am terrible lol. That being said I can see these rules making lower level pros, open and a...

Oh wow, so its like everybody is spotted breaks and first shot playing 8 ball. I bet your good players run out A LOT.

Thank you I overlooked it apparently. At the risk of sounding stupid, If the breaker doesn't pocket a ball he continues his inning, like he breaks, whatever happens happens, then he selects solids/stripes and attempts to run out? Is that right?

I used to work at a billiard supply store and we had this same discussion, we weighed the red circle, measles and plain white aramith cue balls, along with all the object balls in several aramith sets...all wieghed 6.0 oz.....Surprising fact, the oversize bar table ball, which we all agree plays...

Forgot about this thread.....I'm still wondering what additional rules have been added to traditional BCA 8 ball, besides no called shots. Choice of groups after breaking? Fouls behind line or BIH? 3 foul? I'm just trying to get a grasp on how Paul is playing 8 ball. October 9th he was going to...

lol Unless like Dennis Hatch plays not sure I want either of those games from him.....actually come to think of it I'm sure there are plenty of players that can kick my ass on and off the table so maybe I need another plan here

I will reoffer you to throw your keyboard away and meet me in the parking lot again with no one around but just us to settle everything. So you can't beat him now you want to fight him? If pool works this way I am going to hit the gym and win the us open next year.

He still owes employees money for last year that he shorted them, maybe if this year was good he can settle up with them, then my family and I will attend again:smile:

I am a B speed player, I was told by a mid level pro player that I could get the wild 6 and the breaks, playing 9 ball. He also said that it would not be enough for me to win lol well I thought I was stealing so I tried it and lost 7 6 then tried it again won 7 5 and left that game alone lol.

That is interesting, you may be right, however if both players are run out speed then eventually one will miss and slop a ball in, thus winning a game they shouldn't. At least that's how it seems to me.

You are saying you would play another player of equal skill, you call every ball, he does not and you have the advantage?
