    Shaw/ Bergman- OFF

    Spoken like a true european. What is it in the water over there that makes these people so weak?

    Danny Smith won $1500 minus $160

    Exactly. Most entries are not sponsored. The only way you'll have larger payouts would be to up entry fees and/or have some sort of sponsorship or house contribution. We've already covered the challenges with the money in pool numerous times before. It's not 1984 anymore.

    Do I have a Right to be Upset - Blood Stains on Cloth?

    You sure you own a pool room? You come off as a recreational player who sees things happen in his local pool room and then come on here...and pretend to own said room. Pathetic.

    Cue Energy Transfer

    I'd propose only part of your rebuttal is that of truth. I agree in that the transfer of energy begins before any energy transfer is lost in the hand/grip. However, I disagree in that all energy transfer has concluded before said transfer was absorbed/impacted by the hand. When CB is struck...

    Cue Energy Transfer

    It's mostly negligible. Energy transfer will be lost dependent to the weakest link in the equation. In this case, the skin of your hand. Said 'material' acts as a giant pillow (of blood, ligaments, bone, water etc.) ultimately absorbing a portion of the impact. To think a shaft material...

    The slow play

    Lots of good points here. I've come to accept that I could have handled it differently - I was very frustrated after a particular sequence of shots by super 390 and probably appeared visually frustrated by body language alone even before I said anything out loud. I've only been playing pool at...

    The slow play

    Yup. Our pool hall owner set up a masters league starting on 1/10/2018. Can't wait to drop USAPL and join that. 36 players signed up. Most are APA 6s or APA 7s. Like 80% of us. The rest are strong APA 5s that want to improve. All of our top players are super excited to get this thing started!

    The slow play

    I'm not the fastest player in the world but I'd guess I average 20 seconds on obvious shots (when pattern play from ball to ball is elementary) and maybe 45 seconds on tough calls (questioning "should play safe?" versus "can I run out here?" / lengthy shots / thin cuts. I know different areas...

    30 minute time limit

    USA was up going in to the final day and stayed ahead. What are you talking about?

    Revo shaft red tip silencer

    In third photo everything is a shade lighter than everything in photo two. Explanation: Due to lighting variances between photos, silencer appears red versus brown. I wouldn't be concerned whatsoever.

    force follow power shot, how to hit?

    Many variables: 1) Tip hardness 2) Cloth type of table 3) Cue at any angle other than something below 0 degrees 4) Distance CB is from OB 5) Your tip placement on CB 6) Firmness of hit 7) Grip tension (the looser you can grip the cue while maintining control of the cue; the more...

    Why do EU players throw cue away in celebration?

    No. Not at all since prior to your post no one mentioned it.

    Why do EU players throw cue away in celebration?

    Pretty much this.
