    Vegas

    Last trip there, I had heard that some places would waive the parking fee if you had a Nevada ID. As I no longer have one of those, I can't confirm.

    Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

    From a snooker pro, food for thought.

    Buddy Hall vs Steve Mizerak, who had the nicer stroke?

    Jay Swanson. Stephen Lee and Shaun Murphy from snooker. Maybe there's a connection between eating lots of butter and stroke like butter..? 😜

    Bai Yulu 145 in Snooker

    Not rooting against her, but nope. Her best win on the men's tour is against a player ranked 75th. We can revisit this in a couple years. :)

    Eight-pocket Filipino table?

    Haven't seen one of these in thirty years, but it was fun.

    SVB shouldn’t be allowed to turn hearing aids off?

    A perfectly timed strike that hits the back of the pocket sounds different than most of my shots. But if you hit it it that pure, it's a technique to try to make the next shot sound as good.

    Action Jackson?

    A little tougher without a public room. Nearest one I know of is here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pockets-idaho-falls?osq=Pool+%26+Billiards 1 10' snooker and a bunch of Diamond 7's as of five years ago. No idea on action, happy hunting!

    Moving to a heavy playing cue

    Equipment is a factor. I prefer 20 oz or so on my preferred big tables but if stuck on the 7ft bouncy box have better results with 17-18. YMMV.

    Pinky on or off during stroke.

    Barely touching. Any more pressure than that and I tend to miss a fraction to the left.

    Where's a place to play in the Olympia, Washington Area?

    Olympia area a desert. Nearest spot I know of is Scratch Billiards in Fife. Lots of Diamond 7's, one 9.
