If I am reading it right, Jay's post on facebook makes it sound like the cue was not actually quite "perfect, like new" but had some of what Jay considered to be very minor "scuffs" on it that didn't detract from the cue being like new in his opinion. The buyer apparently felt differently about...

Without giving much thought to it, my snap thought it that it seems like play just continues since both balls are considered in play. The players will eventually need to either try to make one of the balls, hit one or both of them in an attempt to unjam them so they can be played later, or play...

I haven't done the math or measured the angle, but it doesn't look to be 100 degrees to me. With the half a pocket of extra pocket that is there to cheat and lessen the angle that is needed to pocket the ball is taken into consideration, I think it is actually closer to being an 89 degree cut...

I'm good with that. But, if you wanted to set it up as in Bob's diagram but offset the one ball and cue ball to have that edge to edge line going straight up the middle of the table, you would then need to move the one ball a bit further up table where the center of it was just barely past the...

You would think you would know how fairly simple shots like these work on a pool table by now then. If you could do the shot you would have been trying real hard to negotiate something to get a bet down with Bob at the time but you didn't. Also, at that time, and even still now, you were, for...

The passing lane shot looks like it should take some skill but it is actually pretty easy to do once you know what you should do. Where does it usually go wrong for you? Is the difficulty in getting the cue ball around and in front of the object ball, and if so is it because it doesn't swing...

You were already offered a bet in post #57, and you didn't take the bet because you can't actually do what you are claiming. You can't do the shot for pride, you can't do the shot for bragging rights, you can't do the shot to save face, you can't do the shot to prove all the doubters wrong, you...

That's a nice thin cut, but that shot is slightly less than 90° and nobody disagrees that shots that are less than 90° can be cut in with any english. On all of your shots that are actually over 90°, on every single one of them you are spinning from the rail first and then into the object ball...

Those scratches go around the cue in a relatively thin ring of scratches in two different places. My first thought when I saw that was "that cue was being rotated in place about its axis while it was being banged against something. One possible explanation could be that a person was rotating...

With a level cue, and with the object ball being away from the rail so that the cue ball cannot hit the rail prior to its last contact with the object ball? Nope, neither he nor anyone else has backed up those claims because unless you go rail first (or unless you do something else outside the...

If you are into or curious about firearms, or various military weaponry, then Las Vegas is one of the best places to be able to have first hand experiences with a wide variety of them. There are a whole bunch of places in or just outside of Vegas where between them you can shoot just about any...

He sounds almost exactly like Bill Clinton to me.

His picture was included in post #4 as seen below. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/rip-justin-ramos-aka-justnum.572964/#post-8058615

I use them on occasion like everybody else, but the terms "soft" and "hard" are extremely misleading as descriptors for the hit of pool cues. Aside from them being subjective things that we all experience very differently, those terms are also commonly used by people to describe two completely...

You are again missing the point. Maybe I have incorrectly estimated the count for how often it has been, but however often this has been, has been too often for many people so my friendly suggestion would be to slow it down. I know this because this amount of often was too often for many...
