I don't care for one extremely long match. I rather see multiple sets such as 4 out of 7 raced to 11 or something like that. One long set can become one sided for no particular reason and anti-climactic. While players do sometimes come back from a big deficit, it's highly unlikely in most cases.

No, it's how I speak and write. My wife complains sometimes i sound like I am giving a lecture. I have a problem with AI myself in that you can't trust what it tells you. Just the other night I wanted to know the name of a movie I was watching. I googled the three actors and asked what movie...

Fiction writers are very imaginative and quite often get it right. Writers may conceive ideas from imagination plus observation but that's where they stop once they put it on paper. Someone else then takes that imagination and observation, adds innovation and creates a reality.

I know you're not going to do it, but if it was a custom made cue under the ramp will be all the information including the original owner. Tim would sometimes make a custom cue for a customer that was one of a kind. Except it wasn't, because he would repeat the design in later cues. He once...

I used to have a McDermott that had a cork wrap. I kind of liked it if I remember correctly it was a lot of years ago.

I believe that humans will evolve out of existence. In other words, we currently are not necessarily the best version of ourselves. A neanderthal would probably tear a current man apart. We have become smarter but weaker. Our innovations makes us less relevant or necessary and It is happening...

What do they do when racked with a regular triangle rack?
