He talks about his decision making process on that in the first few seconds of the video below although I'm not 100% sure if he was talking about the first or second time he chose pink instead of black. Basically he just says that he decided it was more important to get the record of being the...

I would think the parallel shift system for kicking would work reasonably well for banks as well as long as you take into account whatever spin your banked ball will be picking up from the cue ball if any, take into account whether your banked object ball is rolling or sliding when it hits the...

I'm confused. The article you reference is from seven months ago in August of 2025, and it only mentions the book being available for purchase onsite at the Pacman's Cue Club in Mandayulong City, Philipines. But you said you just received your copy, which makes it sound like it was shipped to...

A lack of incentive is the only thing that has ever kept lot of people from breaking the straight pool high run record since Mosconi's time all the way until now where that is still the case today. Lots of people have the capability to do it, they just don't have the incentive to make it worth...

Going frame by frame is often even more useful for things such as these. That allows you to go at whatever speed you want, easily stop wherever you want for as long as you desire, and you can easily advance it frame by frame both forwards and backwards back and forth while looking for something...

Go back and read my posts. They are very clear and wouldn't lead to such a silly question.

I mentioned that shot in post #125 as a good example that most have likely seen since it is a very common trick shot, but I didn't (and still don't) have a link to it at the time. Like you, I think it would be a good representative example shot of a push foul to post if somebody has a link to...

What are you talking about? Unless I'm remembering wrong, which is quite possible, he was only offering a prize to one person at a time, on occasion here and there, for a relatively short little while, and I haven't heard of him doing that in quite some time. When all their attempts are added...

There is a big difference between hitting the cue ball with a cue that has been swung into it, and pushing the cue ball forward with the cue tip so that the cue ball intentionally stays in contact with it for much longer because you are literally pushing it forward for a while instead of having...

You said a "big reward has been on the table for years", which makes it sound one way, but as I recall Bobby offered his challenge only for a period of time, only intermittently during that period of time at his whim and convenience, and only to one person at a time at most, only at his personal...

Back around 2014 John Schmidt's two highest runs in straight pool on a 9 foot table were 403 and 400, and his highest run on a 9 foot diamond table was 294 (don't recall what the pocket sizes were for sure though). As I recall he said at the time that he felt his 294 on the diamond was the...

If anybody wants to see the original threads from the Dead Aim Kicking Academy series to check out comments/discussions or whatever reason, all ten are linked in the following post: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/best-banks-info.535507/#post-7069373

At the very top right of your screen, beside your messages and alerts and search icons, click on your screen name. That will bring up a number of things you can access including your forum preferences.

I think the call still could (and arguably should) have been overruled by a good knowledgeable head referee, and part of the issue here was that Marcel is not a good knowledgeable head ref (to put it kindly). In his protest Pongers presumably told Marcel "the ref declared the balls to be...

Look at the very, very bottom of your screen (below Home/Forums/etc), and then on the left. It may say something like "XF2 Default Dark". Whatever it says, click on it, that is the darkness settings for the forum and there are five of them. Try them out and see which meets your preference. I...
