    Another Bad Draw-Miscue-Scoop Foul Call in a Major Pro Pool Tournament ... and Pool God Karma!

    I watched this match early this am.... and this came up. After a Forever seated wait for both players, they ruled in favor of Shaw. Opponent got the $haw Call.

    If a gun was put to your head to choose one player to pocket a difficult shot for you, who would you choose?

    Earl Hand cleaned every ball to make this happen. He had to break/make, said the balls were not going in the lower pocket. I remember that combo. Had the audience ''in his moment''. I remember em talking a little during ball cleaning.

    Tips being installed angled inward slightly on the outside diameter

    Mushrooming is good to understand.

    Tips being installed angled inward slightly on the outside diameter

    It's perfect. The sides will be compressed from ball hits and will become parallel with the shaft. Non layered tips need more of an angled cut than layered tips.

    They need to create/try out more announcers. I tire of two pool players always talking just pool, I enjoy announcers that mix it up, like Tommy during the Camel Pro Series. I often mute the production, but don't enjoy Not hearing the balls. It's one of the fun things with the NFL. the color...
