Thank you for the help.

Yeah, what Garzar said. The tip only knows how fast it was moving at time of contact, not how much "muscle" was behind it.

In UPUSA rotation rules is your only option to play safe when frozen to the lowest ball on the table??

With a ruler it measures 4 1/4"- 4 3/8", its deceptive because the one ball is so deep in the pocket to try to line them up in the opening.

My GCI pockets

How do you hit the cue ball "hard" instead of fast???

No white table for me either nor do I want black. The Cherry Oak Dymondwood Diamonds were gorgeous, especially with round instead of mitered corners, the black plastic ones are hideous, if I ever see another satin black table it will be too soon.

I would put them pretty much on the same level.

I think if its hitting the wrong ball first its a regular BIH foul but when you intentionally play a push shot or intentionally double hit the cue ball that's just foul play and should be treated as unsportsmanlike. He may as well have hit the 7 with his cue if you are going to pull off...

15 seconds is pretty short but there is no reason 20 wouldn't work well. I think a lot of it is just what you get used to, a lot of the Europeans rarely if ever looked rushed on a 15 second clock. That 15 seconds is the same amount of time for all players, they just need to use it wisely.

I can only guess that you have not seen many tournament videos. If you want I can start naming names and I am sure other members will add to my list but I think there are not many who have really nice strokes like John Morra, Tyler Styer, Fedor, etc. Some of the not so nice are Django, Joven...

I see your wisdom, in ground pool for rest of family and visitors so that you can be left in peace in your pool haven. Genius!!!!

What's nice is that it can always be updated over time.

It sure beats a player studying a slight cut for 3 minutes, picking up and putting the chalk down countless times to chalk again, walking around the table again.............and again to see the shot, all for that agonizing 10 degree cut into the corner.

What????? So you are saying by making it less fun more people will be interested????
