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.

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

Any thoughts on any ball in hand for a push?

If it had hit the cushion an inch out either way, there wouldn't have been a second thought. My take is that's Souquet's version of a freewheeling wreck. His fault. Also a good symptom of some of the forces at work but, who you gon call?

Whatever they (bots) think or don't think there is the fanatic factor. They don't call 'em disciplines for nothing. I suppose you can have fanatic jacks of all trades but apparently they'd be limited to jacks. The fanatics almost have to win in their fanatic spots.

Maybe buy the Chohan book. People seem to like it.

Silicone shaft lube.
