A little off topic, but as i was reading this, i was trying to remember if Fedor had a "pool" nickname ? I dont think i have seen one for him. I like Shane in this match, but it is close. Fedor is great, and he definitely grinds himself out of bad situations, but he also put himself in...

A Joker's dream if i ever did see one. ;)

Thats a weird looking pool case, and bag of broccoli.

Perhaps i worded that poorly. my point is that hitting a ball too thick or too thin is not always going to result in an over or under cut, so i dont use those thick or thin to describe over/under. Example. Say you hit the ob ball so thin it only wobbles. I would say i hit it too thin. But...

I always defined over vs under cutting being based on the direction you want the ob ball to go. If you are cutting towards the left and it goes too far left you over cut it. If didn't go far enough left, it is undercut. Beause thick vs thin is refering to how much the cb hits the ob, both...

I lose so many games doing this. The opponent hates it, and calls me a cheater when i reset up the shot i just missed. Wink.

I wouldnt bother trying to sell it. I would Give it to a kid who likes the game that cant afford their own cue. I would ask a local hall owner if he knows any kids that might use it. But thats me.

I have an older schon shaft that was basically just test hit. From the early 2000s. I traded something for it, thinking it would be a good backup shaft. Never ended up using except to test it on a cue. If New shafts are 240. Even if i let it go for 150, shipping kills the deal i would think...

I am not saying evolve/devolve. I am thinking the amount of people who do heavy work with their hands is less. White collar work doesn't develop hand strength. Compare hands of someone who types all day to someone who does construction or is mechanic. Difference between slender/slim hands...

I also find peoples hands are smaller. Nothing like shaking hands with an 80 year old farmer and realizing their hands are twice the size mine are. and i am not exactly small. My theory is less people doing manual labour jobs their whole life means smaller hands over all. Off topic. My dad...

Cues are banned from carry on luggage in North america. Unsure where you are, but you can contact your airline to be sure.

I use to work a hospital with a Dr. Harry Wang.

The cues they use in movie fights are light soft woods like balsa. My local cue maker has some on display. Definitely not useable as a cue.

My go to line is "i left my partner an oppurtunity to be awesome"

Air rifle event. Thats like the air guitar events, right ? People just mime shooting rifles.

They are a bit in our area for some people. I like customs and buy them for me. I dont show them off unless somone asks. But many are all about their production cue, talk about how their cues are better than so and sos etc. meanwhile then know jack shit, even about what they bought.

Agree 100%. It wasnt a dig at the commentators. I was thinking "what thell will he do now, and on a clock". Everyone see's the table differently, and i think a player like Chris who takes risks is plain unreadable. Just my opinion but i think the value he brings to table is showmanship and...

I love it when the commentary is always wrong. "He will do... Wait no, he is not doing that" completely different plan than what those in the booth are thinking.

A fellow local. Oppl can be a fun league. All the money goes back to the league and players, so the hall only makes what it sells. Food and drink adds up with 80 to 100 players.

The secret to being right most of the time is to not talk about things you dont know about. This is my go to comment when people tell me i know a lot.
