Riku lost his baby fat.

For those conspiracy theorists RE: imaging finding differences between US and Russia, this is likely just normal healing. Discs are jelly-like structures, and a bulging or herniated disc can naturally resolve within 2 weeks.

The problem is there are people that take nearly all the shot clock on routine shots. There really isn't too much pressure on them to speed up on the routine stuff unless you take the clock down to a level where it compromises play when things aren't straightforward. I think the way it is has...

Most people wouldn't call a foul a scratch unless the cue ball goes in a pocket. Pretty rare that would happen when trying to tie up balls. When it does, it wouldn't be intentional because where the cue ball ends up on the foul is irrelevant. In games where you have to shoot down table from...

The Filipinos show up when there's big money on the line. Chua looking dominant.

Mr. Davis your cue is a work of art.

Hi Craig, you sound like a blast to play with and teach. Hopefully you'll find someone to show you the ropes. I'm in Atlanta so it won't be me, but I appreciate the attitude it goes a long way.

I have no idea what you actually want to do, but you could reach out to Steve Chapin at celeris who develops the virtual pool series and was a semi-professional player with a lot of contacts.

I think that's the right idea. Things could get funny off the combo, but if the balls are close together and the 1 is in the pocket you have a lot of opportunity to manipulate whitey. Depending on how they lay the 2 rail position shown might be easier. If you come short you are likely to have an...

Not as well as pros do. Better execution is only part of it. For one, there is significant mental grit required to get yourself to execute the best shot (nearly) every time. For another, there is a much deeper understanding of what the right shot is at any given moment. The differences might be...

Pros play the odds and choose what they feel they can best execute that gives them the best opportunity.

Make the spots too big and you'll alienate the better players readily even if they are still winning mostly. 9 ball is just a poor game for this when the skill difference is big because the weaker player generally only wins when they fluke 9s and such.

Have you ever noticed that it's always the hole that's too long and never the pin that's too short? 😄

I keep thinking your work can't really get much cleaner but here you go again. Those box miters are exquisite.

There will always be losers and losers will always find something other than themselves to complain about. Been there plenty myself. I don't think it matters much. The best players are the best players regardless of equipment. MR should listen and do what they want to keep the players engaged.

The good news about this is that it is very tough for your opponent to break out the 3-8 successfully and secure a runout from any position. So I would try to make things messy for my opponent until you had the opportunity to kick out the 3 without selling out a shot or easy safe. A smart...

Objectively speaking, though, this is true (independent of equipment) in many cases. A lot of time this is due to innovation in approach or psychological barriers being crossed. Efren's kicking game is a prime example in pool how pros learned that their games were incomplete. Increased...

Probably more to do with what species were commonly commercially available when hard maple became standard for shafts than anything related to superiority over ash. Maple does have a better texture so does have an objective positive. I'd say everything else is either subjective (e.g. color...

Good picture except for the invisible inlays 😁
