You'd be surprised. I was on the receiving end of a similar kind of ban. It's all about the federations retaining a monopoly on the sport. Now, it usually doesn't matter if the particular sub-genre of pool is completely neglected by the national federation, to the point of never holding a...

Longoni is probably one of- if not the foremost expert on exotic and unusual shaft materials. They've had carom shafts in every conceivable material for decades now. They've had shafts made of kevlar, carbon fibre and every possible type of fiberglass etc. I'm sure the shaft is decent, based on...

Oh, ok, I misunderstood you then. Nevermind.

Call safe 10 ball comes the closest. Terrible rules, they make the game boring af. Grady Mathews was a brilliant commentator and analyst, but these rules were not good. While they do give a better player an edge, most of the time, they are limiting to the creativity of the game and destroys any...

I can never hear this without thinking of the simpsons:

These tournaments tend to have top heavy prize funds. Good for creating hype around one tournament, bad for long term sustainability of a pro tour.

As my name suggests I like straight pool. There is no better rack for this than the delta rack. I've tried everything else. Template racks, tapped racks (those reinforcer thingies as well) are all unnatural. They either "load" the rack or produce unnatural results for other reasons, and the...

Hi. You should consider hitting this with draw instead. The shot is right on the border of the balls being perpendicular to the rail, and I would consider this to be in "draw" territory. You can draw this at multiple different speeds as well, you don't have to do a Hohmann and draw it all the...

Never underestimate the effort people will go through to annoy others. On the internet it's often hard to see if someone is trolling or on the spectrum, for instance. In real life it would be blindingly obvious. In this case, I'm going for definitely trolling. 1. Uses several triggers for...

Haha, that's a good one. Omg, you're actually hillarious. ...... Is your mom okay with this? At least clean up your basement. Good troll. Got me good. Sincerely "Linearpool_99". Oh, wait, is the number 99 considered ageist?

You're welcome No sport has lower barriers between fans and pros. I've met pros from almost every cue sport, including Snooker, Blackball and Pool. I've played them and spoken to them. That isn't rare at all. Anyone who's proficient and who's travelled a bit can probably claim the same. That...

What does that even mean? It's just word salad, of the kind one would read in an airplane magazine headline. And who are YOU, what are your qualifications in this matter? DH only spells words correctly by accident, and you have proven that you know nothing about pool. What is that combination...

I don't think that many people are holding a grudge, all these years later. And Karma does usually catch up to people, in time. Some of those behind the Dump have allready felt the effects, and in the end, like Jordan Peterson says, nobody really gets away with anything. Not being mad at people...

I've analyzed this match in detail before: Buddy keeps trying to scratch and in general does anything in his power to carry Mike over the finish line, and Mike fails to pocket easy shots. It wouldn't have been quite so obvious if Mike played better. It really is a good question what to do if you...

What the hell even is this? George Washington and pool, all to make a point about safeties and percentage play? Idiocy, madness and pseudointellectualism combine in a witches' brew of bubbling nonsense.

You know nothing about pool. I'm shocked that Danny Harriman, who is undeniably a great player, would allow you to use his name like this. Ask Danny if he'd kick at this shot for 100k when he could shoot it straight in, and which shot he thinks is the highest percentage. If you're any kind of...

I wouldn't go quite that far. I'd say the tables are acceptable, if set up right, as is the cloth. The problem, generally, with Predator is the pricing, which seemingly is how they came up with their company name. I happen not to like the look of the tables, but they are perfectly playable...

I've been on this forum for quite a long while, but THIS, by far, is the most uninformed post I've ever read. From this one post I can see that you know nothing, what so ever, about pool in the real world. Maybe you play it on the computer, but even that has come into question now. Nobody would...

It may be small, but the way you are trying to hit it is really closing in on maximizing the chance of it. I guess it could be worse if you really slow rolled it with inside or something stupid like that, but that's about it. Squirt/swerve on a shot like this is really a non-factor to a...
