Shooting up at the ball tends to add a lift component. I believe with a forward stroke, more forward spin than perfect rolling is not possible. Shooting down at the ball can help with torque transfer so the ball hooks up without undue sliding - see Tony Chohan for example. Fading the stroke...

I remember Morgan from the upstairs Palace; always golfing. They said he was a trucker. Didn't know he owned it. Anyway the first HT I know of was in OC. So technically Big HT is #2 and Sacramento is actually #3.

I'd like to here some stories from the Peterson days.

RIP

That was HT2. It was always the Palace to me (70s) I missed all the monster action. They did have the golf game going, I guess those guys were small businessmen. Anyway the Palace moved down the street a few blocks, they setup a room for the golf table and one maybe two other 10' snooker...

Same with your backhand. I believe with the strict pendulum delivery, the tip landing is a function of shaft taper and/or bridge length.

Far as I know that was the Palace. Guy went by Butch was running it at the time. They had billiard tables two super tight 9' ers and the legendary payball table. Hard Times was in O.C. at the end of the I5. I thought that was Newport (only went down there at night lol) but it was Costa Mesa...

I remember him from the original Hard Times. I wandered in a couple times out of curiosity. Practiced a little bit on Keith's super tight. I remember the bankroll they kept. An actual roll of cash 4, 5 inches in diameter like toilet paper. No safe lol. Charlie was there every time I was there. I...

You mean the divider thing for one hole?

Those that I've seen are nothing but roller coaster tracks. Balls derail and fall to the floor. Some derail and wedge on the cover boards. Some don't even make it through the funnel. The ball hunt is something familiar to all pool players.

Check for tilt.

I remember gobbledygook like that. 2 by one person, 2 consecutive by one person, any 2 per game, back of the ball touching the headstring... Yeah it's improved. :ROFLMAO:

It's probably just settling into the revised niche. Looks the same with new rules to me. There might be more sophistication in the to and fro of lengthy competition but then I could never stick around for a whole ahead set so I wouldn't really know.

If you would set the stick with CPG instead of CTE, that would stabilize everything including opposite hand.

Brunswick Ball Return and Reliable are mutually exclusive concepts. You could fabricate a drainage system with PVC that would work flawlessly.
