Can anyone explain how a QR code on the back of a piece of chalk allows customers to check that it is the legit product? I mean, if I were a counterfeiter, I would buy one piece of legit V10 and copy that QR code and put it on the back of my contraband pieces. Am I missing something here?

I assume you are referring to Ultimate. It uses a 30-second shot clock. It is perfectly acceptable to use every second of your 30 seconds plus your one extension to run out the 30-minute match clock if you are in the lead or tied and the points favor your team.

I don’t perpetuate such antics much any longer and definitely not where the posted sign reads above 40 MPH. I got my fixes doing track days and even that I retired from after I achieved personal bests at all the tracks I frequented. Going any faster would have required really taking chances and...

Let’s take the physics to an extreme. Let’s say your cue weighs 11 pounds. Ten pounds are up at the joint, WELL forward of where you grip the cue. Imagine how that would feel. Since your hand is well behind the weight, don’t you think you would have significant trouble delivering the cue in a...

That’s about my calculation for advisory/regulatory signs on entrance or exit ramps: I can usually do 2x+10. But NOT in a semi! And NEVER if the sign says <= 20MPH, especially true if it’s 15MPH. Fifteen usually means, um, 15!

Um, huh? I am clueless.

Good stuff! I have been really trying to quiet my brain. It's starting to happen but there is a point at which no thinking is actually relenting too much control. Or is it? Perhaps it's because I haven't yet done enough reps. For instance, I just got done with a short session. I was all...

What game was it? 8-ball? 9-ball? 10-ball? I bet it wasn't 14.1 straight pool.

Great responses and thanks to all! Followup #2: Tried the Mighty X again just now (didn't record it). Got to 35 in a row. Wife started talking to me while I was down on shot #36. I stayed on the shot, see if I could tune out the distraction. Yeah, no. Should have stood up and waited until...

I bought this and I am going to wear it to the Mosconi Cup...

Follow up: I know better than to declare victory prematurely but this is promising. I tweaked my footwork a tiny bit. Most misses were CB left, so I closed by stance a little. That worked well in some tester shots. It felt pretty comfortable. So I …. I tried going back to a very consistent...
