World class percentages at 30 to 35%. I think it was Bustamante who said he never broke and ran more than a 7 pack in competition.... I did, on a big pocket Gold Crown 9 footer for a $10 set. It took being able to shoot PLUS a lot of work on my break.

Correct... You are either a run out threat or not. If not...you better work on not selling out when you miss, playing strong safeties and managing racks until you have a that you can get all the way out. It can take a couple years of actual work to move someone from his level to a guy I might...

Work on the break. Also practice throwing 4 , 5 or 6 balls and try to run out from ball in hand. If you can run out 5 or 6 balls 80% or more....paired with a good break...you will be a threat to run out when needed to win.

Give them time.....

Ok....I am in that, plus the Open and Wednesday Warmup. If he wants to gamble I will be lurking all my free hours in the practice area. I can steer him to fair games because i know most of the regular champions.He can text me. We can play $500 a set if I don't go broke before he gets to me!

I don't get out much.... And you know where I won't play! Where would we be playing Friday? Would like to play a Diamond barbox if we could. Saw the place in Fulton closed.... I'd lock up 3 sets for 200 each....either here locally or SBE. I checked the list for the Wednesday Warm Up and...

I will be there playing all non champions 100 to 500 a set.

I never blamed my break on the table. I worked on my break til I had 3 ways to make balls off a 9 ball rack, from either side and work to get position of the missing to runout. You will not see improvement without effort. Even with effort, improvement is not a straight line. There's a step...

Ronnie OSillivan is the most talented cueist on planet earth.....by a lot.

If the weight with this extension adapter isnt enough, you can add a small section threaded weight bolt and cut a slot in the end of it to take in and out with a flat screwdriver. Put that in deep to the extension adapter.

Agreed and Pool is never going to be big time in the USA. Enjoy it for the fringe sport it is. Now we have more events to watch cheap with better production quality. There's honestly more events than most of us can watch. I'm liking the sped up versions of matches online.....that is genius.

When he puts a tip on it, then it becomes a pool cue...

That to me is too global a statement. There is so much to be said for "helping english" to get a ball to go into corner pockets off the facing, negating contact induced throw and avoiding skids not to mention there are many shots that can't be made with throwing the ball. I know the benefits...

Is you are a player and not OCD...you can play with a house cue off the wall, a broomstick or a limb off a tree. Seen it all before. "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian."

I suppose sure since you are playing who makes the most balls. If you are only scoring by who makes the money ball, the break is not much of a factor because there aren't a lot of run out players in APA.....though I know each area has their 7s that are heros. What would help you more would be...
