    BAD CALLS in Pro Matches - Unintentional Miscue SCOOP SHOTS

    Something similar happened at the World Cup of Pool just now, Albania vs Poland game 2. Cue ball on rail, Kaci hits it, sounds like a miscue, but obviously unintentional. They played the slow motion replay and you could see the second contact by the ferrule, and Marcel called the foul. What do...

    You’re going to look foolish when everyone is playing this in 2024 and there’s a $750,00 Kill the King World Championship in Qatar in 2025.

    The importance of warming up

    10-ahead ghost, pretty impressive practice session. I agree that my break improves a lot as well.

    The importance of warming up

    I’ve been playing the ghost and recording the results, hoping to see a trend upwards over time. But one thing I’ve noticed for sure is that I improve as I play a couple sets, over the course of an hour or so. It sounds obvious, but it’s the degree to which I improve that‘s been surprising...

    Jump stroke evolution

    If you can keep the cue-arm line straight, like in a regular stroke, that’s got to be better for aim than the side-arm. But the side-arm provides more freedom of movement to elevate the cue. The in-line stroke requires some contortion when you’ve got to elevate the cue more than a moderate amount.

    DigiBall accuracy

    Sounds cool, I’ll be a customer for sure. A nice function of the app would be to practice a particular shot multiple times and then get a spread score - how close to one desired spot are you hitting. You often hear about the importance of tip accuracy and consistency. Also check out this video...

    Is a Cue with Less Squirt or Cue Ball Deflection Better?

    Just looking at Dr Dave’s SAWS again, or generally speaking using pivoting for spin, one thing I see is that bridge length is a constant, and the pivoting varies depending on shot speed and distance. But bridge length is only constant with your hand on the table under ideal conditions. In actual...

    Electronic pool product question regarding USB Chargers

    Best option: Sell a charger as an optional add-on (probably not feasible) Second best option: Sell without a charger, clearly say it has no charger, and make it clear exactly what type of charger works

    CUE TESTING for Cue Ball Deflection, And PREDATOR REVO Carbon Fiber Shaft SIZE EFFECTS

    How do you compensate for deflection when you play? And then what do you do differently when you do your deflection testing? When you’ve shot a million shots and the compensation is so ingrained, I think it’s tough to just entirely turn that off. I’m not trying to be argumentative with you, I...

    CUE TESTING for Cue Ball Deflection, And PREDATOR REVO Carbon Fiber Shaft SIZE EFFECTS

    hangthe9: you’re probably compensating without trying. Im sure every experienced pool player does. I know I use backhand english when applying spin, but I do it unconsciously, and didn’t realize I did it until analyzing it quite a bit. I consciously use front-hand english blended with...
