I pick a very small target for my cue ball on a shot to shot basis & the appropriate speed & tip position to achieve hitting that target. What the cue ball looks like isn't very important to me. It's not a bad thing, but imo it isn't necessary either. The type of game & table that game is...

A working knowledge of tangent & what different tip positions on the cue ball can do to tangent is all one really needs. Not a dotted cue ball. The cue ball does what it has been told, where it ends up should tell the tale.

Would you take this game Maha? Bar-box 8 ball Freeze up $X amount, we don't quit until someone has it all. I get the breaks and ball in hand after the break. Play and pay by the game. I guarantee you won't shoot.

The “device” is not legal at VNEA World Championships. I wouldn’t get used to using one even at the local level. Surprisingly, I did happen to find out the EZ jumper is legal in CSI run leagues & events.

Talk to Ryan about those options. He extended the sub-rails on our Gold Crown with new Super Speed Cushions.

For a three rail kick hit the cue ball 3/8's of an inch away from center at 10:30 or 1:30 on the clock. Find the spot on your table where the above takes you on the line to the corner pocket. Adjust up and down the long rail with the cue ball contact point to hit object balls that are either...

Please tell me where I said or anyone else said that scientific facts are wrong? Knowing the density of a pool ball is absolutely not going to help me run out a wide open table when it is hill - hill & my tournament life is on the line. Therefore I could give a shit the exact density of a pool...

The first line of the OP's initial post is all anyone would ever need to know. "My understanding is that for the CB's reaction after hitting it with the cue, all that matters is what the cue is doing at the moment of contact, within a few milliseconds(?) of the impact." When someone executes...

What ratings system is being used for these 4's, 5's & 6's?

Does that really matter? You would still start right back at 555 in your return from a carom billiards table.

You are a 555 Fargo with 447 Robustness.

You are basically agreeing with and making my point even more valid. You want to impress this individual who plays pool? From a 7ft 8 ball perspective - start with a plan, know how and hit your spots with the cue ball while working through the rack. This takes knowledge & the ability to...

Have broken 100 a time or to & play above 500 FR speed. Still don't have a TM mallet putter & probably never will...

Here’s what you wrote “Learn to use the rails with no english first as that is the preferred route if available.” Just how on earth is what you are advocating correct in any way? Why would anyone want to learn how to play a three rail kick shot without english when that is 100% wrong? Then they...
