I was thinking three cushions— thought that was 10’, don’t know about the rest. . Lou Figueroa

I shoot the drag shot down the rail all the time but with the CB that close to the rail it's too unpredictable. As to scratches, in this case it's just taking one, perhaps a second depending on the response. I don't think there's any rule if a sellout is going to give your opponent a bunch of...

Well, that sure cleared it up. Lou Figueroa

And tho thee may proclaim thy innocence to any who might listen ye shall be forever cast out into the wilderness. Lou Figueroa jump cue… 9ball really?!!

It is coming, slowly but surely. The ass crack crowd bottom feeders will just have to adjust (and cover up) eventually. Lou Figueroa

ah, Point of Order please: should it not be the edges of the CB and OB at 90 degrees v the balls themselves? Lou Figueroa carry on
