    Atlanta mechanic recommendation

    Kennesaw Billiards just had their tables re-done. I was there a few weeks ago and whoever did them did a good job. May be worth calling to see who they used. Chattanooga Billiards is pretty much all GCIVs and their tables always play perfect. Could be worth calling there as well.

    Is removing your glove a shark move?

    Wrong take. I bet Pennix just threw another interception and the old lady called to ask why the local tush hog just sent her a text message. Never bet on the Falcons.

    ⚡Can AI summarize 361 days worth of used-cue eBay sales? ⚡

    Before Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica, I did a quick google inquiry. It’s a good laugh for sure. I’m sure it has some utility, but…

    Pool play that irritates you!

    Oh good God yes. A slow player’s kryptonite is… someone who plays even slower than they do. Call it a shark move, but when I’m in purgatory waiting on that slow mf’er to finally shoot, I’m watching tv or on my phone. When I finally get the ‘hey man, your shot’ … ‘oh man, my bad.’ I walk that...

    Things I Don't Understand at the Pool Room

    1. Get phone out 2. Call somebody, hopefully one with an annoying voice 3. Lay the phone on the rail, on speaker and proceed to conversate. Double bonus if you start arguing about politics or sports. Things will just work their way out naturally.

    If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

    Firstly, I want to thank you for your decorum and for keeping a fairly small disagreement civilized. Secondly, I am not always resistant to change when I see a definite upside. In your proposal I just don’t see it what there is to gain. Yes, practicing the lag is boring, but it’s a shot, just...

    If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

    It just feels like I’m getting trolled, probably am. Changes in the lag, to whatever you desire, will not level the skill playing field. The better player will still demonstrate superior aptitude. Again, you’re using a false premise and now you’ve thrown in a false assumption that pros don’t...

    If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

    The way I see it, when you’re up against an opponent who is just flat out better than you, it just won’t matter. He will find a way to master whatever lag is derived and the outcome will be the same, regardless. It’s rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.

    If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

    No, your assertion is based on the false premise that the lag is a luck shot. The lag is absolutely skill. Just being able to hit a pool ball is a skill. Being able to break at all is a skill. I can promise you, in a lag contest with Filler I would get WAXED. Is he just a more lucky person than...

    If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

    Same exact thought I had.

    3 things you would change about pool

    1. 10 second shot clock for rotation games. I want to see these robots shitting peach seeds when they can’t weigh 50 possible safety scenarios. 2. 4 1/2” pockets 3. Rack your own. Mechanics welcome. All you have to do is run 18 and out….since it’s just so darn unfair. I WANT to see rigged...

    Toasty to become citizen

    I was 11 when my family and I were naturalized in 1990. From what I remember, my questions were really basic but my folks and sisters had the real test and interview. Basic civics stuff. Branches of government and their roles, basic us history, bill of rights, what the Declaration of...

    Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

    Tap tap tap. Just my $.02 and it’s worth exactly that, but I think some comments are out of line when talking about Dave. Asking if he has any matches recorded of him playing is a great question. Cool question. I can dig it. Speculating on how competitive he does or does not play is a cheap...
