I play APA Masters and sometimes BCA. I haven't been too excited about UPL rules, bit they did start up in my area

Not a rule I have called, but I play in leagues and it does get called

I agree. A break and run or getting to a good safety is all it takes on a bar box.

I think for lag to be considered legal, the second ball must be lagged before the first ball hits the cushion. You could technically ask for a re-lag in that case.

I have been playing in some tournaments where I run into players who refuse to lag the ball to determine whose break. On short races on a template rack, the break is a big advantage and I prefer to lag. It generally is the lower skilled players who insist on flipping and I been having a couple...

For sidearm jumps, I do think the weight and length of cue matter. I am about 6 ft and having the jump cue about 47in or so works great for me. The typical jump/break cue is too short for my stroke mechanics. I also do better with my 10oz jump cue after experimenting. I use predator air 2 with...

In light of comparing across videos, I decided to summarize the results. Based on the Revo changes between videos, I decided it to multiply results from first video by .77 to account for changes in cloth, etc and this gives same result for Revo in second video. I also added a field called...

Dave, it seems that there were more significant performance differences between the higher cost shafts such as Revo, Whyte carbon, J. flowers, etc Aside from Revo, it does seem the lower cost shafts tested outperform several of the higher cost shaft brands if you include results from both...

Digital pool has a glitch sometimes and it will assign a player a single digit Fargo rating. I am not sure if this is due to tournament director punching in data wrong, or choosing the wrong player. In this case Filler won his match against Andre Schickling, who is a (663 Fargo rate) with a...

Fun fact: over 8 matches at Derby, the Digital Pool performance rating for Hayden is estimated at 771 😱 That's pretty strong! He definitely played better than 687...

I dunno. A lot of people seem to thrive in the league scene. Think APA. Also Mosconi Cup provided a lot of entertainment and debate. I think a lot of players wanted Team USA to be more competitive.

Yup, I had a lot of curiosity about it. But for 50% mark up over the most established carbon fiber product at $750 and sponsoring the world # 1 player, I haven't hear a whole lot about it in my circles.

Hi all, I was wondering if anybody like to share their feedback on the Whyte Carbon shafts. They have been out there for a little bit now, and are charging a premium price above the Revo and Cynergy, yet I haven't found too many solid testimonials or reviews. Dr. Dave noted that these deflect...

Anyone have a solid review on these Whyte Carbon shafts? I saw one review on youtube, but it looked when the reviewer hit some shots, it looked like he was less experienced. I think Dr. Dave said they have more deflection than a Revo, but there doesnt seem to be as much reviews to go off of.

I improved from legit 525 to legit 558 Fargo in 1 year, and I think the icats system helped with that to an extent. I think doing drills helped, and I would mark them out on the table off paper diagrams. I've only had the icats for a couple of months, but they include the same drills that I have...
