    Is this a legal shot?

    I guess the forward motion depends on how you lift the stick. If you go straight up with the stick then there is no forward motion, however if you flick your wrist then you create and arc with the tip even if it's very slight. That could be considered forward motion. But questionable if it's...

    Apa masters

    Everybody on the Richmond team played excellent. I was on the opposing team from San Bernardino Ca. The match went to the final matchup. It was easy to see why the Virginia team made it to the finals. All players were top notch. My team, the Original Three Amigos had not played this tournament...

    Vegas Trip

    It was nice playing you "young man". I know you're a senior but you still play like a young un and move around the table like a young one too. This might be the last one for me. I've lost too much of my game to continue. Get tired to quickly. You played great against me and it was a pleasure...

    Gabby from Houston.......

    I would have never suspected that he was anything like this. I played him a couple of times in the 70's. Quite, dressed well, and played real well. You never know about a person.

    Thanks to POVPOOL for a great stream

    I felt compelled too. What a great stream. Thanks POV. Only problem was that I didn't get anything done all week being glued to my easy chair. And probably the same this week with the big match of Chohan and Orcollo coming up on Tuesday at 3pm PST.

    Another bar 8 ball question

    Ok I'll tell a little story as to why I dislike call shot as opposed to call pocket whether it be the eight ball or another ball. Many years ago I wound up in a Cholow Arizona. a small town in the White Mountains. It was about 10;30pm when I went into this bar that had one table with about...

    Whats wrong with me?

    You need to play the low skill level players differently that when you play the higher skill level player, Against the higher skill level player you need to make things happen as oppose to the lower level player. Against the lower lever you get the balls ready before committing to run them...

    This rejected shot should count IMO, what say you?

    Plain bad luck for the shooter. The ball has to be hit perfect for it come back out. On tables without a ball return I've always cleared the pocket of all balls except for one to keep the pocketed ball from looping around and back out.

    League Tournament Question.

    The way you described things here I'm wondering why you didn't ask for an id? Most would have.

    8 ball rule question

    Be careful because in some places call shot and call pocket are two different things. In call pocket it doesn't matter how the ball gets to the hole as long it was done with a legal hit on your object ball. Call shot to some it means that you need to declare kisses and banks. I've seen...

    Corey Puts a 9 pk

    I totally agree with you. I've been gambling playing eight ball on the both tables for over over sixty years and know the difference. Putting the real top players aside, guys that can run out on any table, The small table on the long run is harder for most. Whenever I had to play a real top...

    Corey Puts a 9 pk

    Nine ball is easier on the 7 footer and eight ball is more difficult on the 7 footer. Nice playing Corey, especially using the second ball break and playing take what you make..

    Bar Table 8 Ball

    Depends on the rules of the game. Open after the break for me maybe 5 minutes or less. Take what you make on the break 9 minutes or less. Maybe more if the table is breaking slow. (more safeties).

    Ring Game - Shake "Rule"

    It seems to me that it was already called when the rule was set to shake after three games. No need to remind everyone all the time. Just shake them.

    WWYD Eightball hill hill game vs Grandmaster

    Maybe, depending on what type of cue ball we're playing with, I might consider cutting the eleven ball and drawing around three rails for the nine ball. If I fall short of the nine ball I will option to get back to it having position on both the ten and twelve balls.
