Somebody pleas check my math. 16 games times a max of 8 balls per game is only 128 balls. So the only way to get to 128 would be to win all 16 games? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sure he can finish from anywhere but have you seen his break, gives up ball in hand every time.

Better yet, lay your cue down on the table on the side your opponent prefers to break from and "accidentally" nudge the cue ball that they have carefully placed when you pick it up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The original poster wanted to know what were the odds if he decided to have the absent player draw first or last. At the moment the TD makes that decision, which should be before any positions are drawn, the odds are exactly equal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Odds are exactly the same first or last. Think of the draw as a stack of 18 cards with 4 red and 14 black cards. Now shuffle them the four reds are where they are and the distribution of the other cards don't change as you take cards off the top. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For the last week or two my break hasn't worked at all and jumping has been for naught. Should have known this was coming but I just had a rapid unscheduled tip/shaft separation. Can't even find the little bugger. Anyone know how to get a Samsara jump/break tip to last more than a few months?

My Kikel Custom. After I got my first decent tournament payout, $450 way back in 1997, I dropped the whole roll as a down payment on this beauty. It's no longer my daily player but it will always hold its spot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you have the butt raised then it's possible to hit below the equator and have the resultant force on the ball, even when accounting for deflection, be down into the table. As long as the natural pivot point is higher than center ball I think the force ends up being downward. The foul comes...

Depends on the players. Max 15 sets times say 90 min to 2 hours per set gets you 23 to 30 hours. So say 2 to 3 days of play. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not even an extra ball, just shooting the black rather than that one pink. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry you're thinking British blackball, who also use snooker style pockets. The Dutch, at least in the south where I lived, use 57mm/2.25 inch balls with angular cut pockets, just really small. The rules book is here...

Those are the same balls they use in the southern Netherlands on 6 footers with 8-9 cm (3.1-3.5 in) pockets. Talk about a crowded table. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

To beat the one pocket detractors at their own game let me be the first to say "If you think that's bad, wait till you see how long it takes to play a race to three. " Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've always wanted to get a practice set of balls with seven 8-balls, seven 9-balls and a numberless red ball. Then every shot would be practicing on a moneyball.

Long time listener, first time caller Hello, From StL, but the AF has taken me some places. Met my wife playing bar box 8 ball in Colorado, that turned into a couple years of APA getting out as a solid 6. Then a few years of recreational 9 footer in MD (anyone remember Howard's in Waldorf)...
