    What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

    Just adding if you think Fedor and Filler add elevation beyond the minimum for the given shot then yeah don’t think I can add anything else to this.

    What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

    Really don’t understand where you’re even coming from with this. Nobody used the word “level” but you. Adding elevation just for the sake of this mythical “every shot is the same” angle is truly reductive and doing so with side spin will get you broke. Almost everyone (relatively speaking of...

    “Level” is impossible. The rail is in the way. A certain amount of elevation is required for nearly all shots. However going beyond the minimum isn’t advisable.

    What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

    Unnecessary elevation of the butt of their cue on nearly all shots. I could be wrong on this but I think it’s even worse with players that “grow up” on the bar table. And it makes sense right? The rails are always closer to the cueball and most people have no clue how “jacked up” they truly...

    Fedor vs Shane argue with me

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    I can tell you that the Gabriels tables at Country Retreat Family Billards they are absolutely the most SOLID feeling tables I’ve ever played on. Not sure a sumo wrestler could make one quake. The rails are slow though but they are older models.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    Yeah I don't see how anyone can justify paying 3k more than the price of a Diamond. Maybe just maybe 1k more but even in that case, why? Brunswick's pricing has basically removed them from consideration in recent years.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    I’ll never understand how a company as big as Brunswick would fumble a large product rollout as poorly as this. You have an actual website. Use it. No information at all worth anything on the website. All the layup questions we all have, which they can predictably know people will ask...

    Get off my lawn, Things I hate in pool today

    Totally understand this take but just wanna add a little perspective by saying that "fun" looks very different from person to person. You'd probably think I was one of those super serious guys in the poolroom, and you wouldn't be wrong, but no matter how I appear on the outside I assure you...

    Pool jerseys are bad, but also not good

    Sponsorship is quite literally the only reason for the jerseys. Every other reason is trash just like all the jerseys. If you’re a sponsored player, by all means toe that line. But if you’re not? You’re an absolute clown wearing a jersey.

    Best Advice Ever For Straight-In Shots?

    Light grip pressure. As light as you can stand. No side spin at all because you don’t need it anyway. Connect the balls where they touch the table…. Anytime I’m 98% straight in or similar I address the cueball at the very bottom at the start, it helps me find the center axis and also...

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    Nah it’s the shaft for sure. Idk what it is that’s coming off but I don’t want it on my hands. Never seen any sawdust from my maple shafts on the table!

    Get off my lawn, Things I hate in pool today

    AirPods and headphones in general. Oh you didn't hear me say you're on 2? Tough shit. Related: I know for a fact an acquaintance of mine was getting live coaching in a match(texting) in a streamed-tournament. What's to stop someone from getting coaching through their AirPods on streams? Why is...

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    At a buddies house one guy uses CF and breaks from the same spot constantly. Leaves a black streak. His is a cuetech fwiw.

    Magic eraser vs black revo marks on cloth

    Why does a shaft leave a black mark? I get that it’s carbon fiber or whatever but what exactly is it leaving behind?
