    Is it better to "handicap" entry fees, then just play the darn tournament straight up?

    The tournaments here in the east coast (Canada) are FR based entries. It brings out alot of players for the events and they have cue raffles, 50/50 draws, 10 ball break n run that gets up to $700/ball. They also pay out to the top 3 low FR players

    The quickest path to a straight, repeatable stroke, and the best metric used to evaluate it.

    With follow thru to make both balls I'd say the stroke is pretty good and accurate. I line up the shot, take 4-5 waggles (strokes) then close my eyes and take 3-4 more waggles before hitting the CB. I can feel the cue/arm being relaxed and smooth.

    I practice this stunning the OB into the top pocket or following the the OB with the CB. My draw shot needs plenty of work. I also try it one handed and with eyes closed for a little fun.

    Siming vs Ronnie, C8B

    The Rocket started off with a 3-0 lead then basically an uphill battle from there. Let them play for 30 days straight and for big money and the outcome would be different IMO

    Best Current Pool Players 70+ Years Old?

    I'm going on 73 and hate to say it but feeling it. I practice ( at home) every day and go to the poolhall every Friday and play with a guy that's 83. I'm good for the 3 hours that we play and am bagged after that. All the events I've played in lately I find I'm waiting a good 5-6 hours to play...

    Wu has CB control and his firepower is a bonus. His century breaks are pretty controlled.

    The changing of the guard has come and the current pros are vulnerable to defeat. They're up against young talent that have little fear,break build and once seasoned are gonna be hard to beat.
