I don’t really disagree, but I hate a player making a show of inspecting a rack with his nose like 3” from the balls. I was trying to figure an appropriate penalty but probably was too lenient. 😝

There should be a jump cue rule for 14.1 and one pocket. At least an explicit mention that it is up to the organizer. Especially one pocket. The jump cue really ruins that game more than any other. The logical default rule for me is that if the particular game has a ball in hand penalty for a...

Sports Psyching is a great book. I got it after seeing it mentioned on this forum. Maybe it was you who brought it up. The personality test was tremendous. It doesn’t really tell you something you don’t know about yourself, but seeing it on paper and then seeing how your problem areas affect...

I would be shocked if CSI/BCAPL went to all ball fouls. They knew the difference between all ball and cue ball only when they went with cue ball only.

Going from memory but I think there was a discussion on this some time back. I’m not going searching for it, but I recall they had plans to do a video while at that event in Aspen. Early days of VHS. What we might call content creation now. Sounded disorganized and no script prepared. Jimmy...

Wait for your Joss. Pechauer is excellent quality. I have never owned a Joss but do own a peach. Any Joss I hit with hit great. Dunno why I don’t have one.

Yeah, low inside kills the cue ball. In humid conditions you want natural paths, right? I’m in the Midwest now and I’m not used to water in the air. Outside spin. Play with the thickness of the hit. Cue all path down the tangent line important

The success percentage depends on how good your safety was. The real question is how often you’d get ball in hand if that particular opponent didn’t have a jump cue. If that’s our cap number is 92% they made the right play. If you have a difficult or impossible kick and hit the object ball on a...

One pocket is a great game. But I do worry about the WPA getting involved. It is a game that tests a huge variety of skills but, in Fatboy’s terminology, the milk drinkers can stick with WPA snoozefest 10 ball. 😝😜 Gimme the Buffalo’s stream.

It would be really nice if someone could get the copyrights from the estates or copyrights holders to Grady’s book and Buddy’s book. I haven’t read either one. But an edited edition in decent paperback for less than $25 or $30 would get more copies sold. Publishing has never been easier. I admit...

What was that about offensive and inoffensive at the same time. not falling for it but gotta be better than the olives. I thought I might be able to learn to tolerate them ( olives) by starting with one in a martini. I was wrong. The Greek ones are better as you point out.

Thanks for posting that. I don’t get on that other site and liked what Tony had to say.

What was that about offensive and inoffensive at the same time? Olives do that to the sand.

Per an internet search the Longoni grip is .4 oz. Adding almost a half ounce to a jump cue might change it. I don’t know. But keeping the weight down is a big thing in jump cues.

You might want to work with Geno. I just had a lesson yesterday so it is new and I haven’t had a chance to work through it. What I will say is this. I have struggled for years with head position, aim, alignment, finding center ball. The lesson provided new information and insight into what I was...

Get on the Southwest list while u wait. 😜

Pink and brown are the worst. I have no idea why a pool ball should be pink or brown. I have come to like blue cloth but there is merit in keeping it green.

But you didn’t say that. Mr 3 Cushion posted a while back about matching up with a bookie in Denver. He got unlucky that the bookie had a substantial loss before playing Bill. But Pic was old school and didn’t fire air barrels. Or that is my assumption. I only played him in a weekly tournament...

Smart pool. If you have ethical hangups on that, one pocket might not be your game😇. You should take some sadistic delight in a smart push out (that’s really what it was but the cue scratched) especially if your opponent doesn’t like it. Like kicking where you might avoid the foul but might not...

The American taper shaft is nice.
