    how much should i expect or look to pay for,,,,,,

    I got mine for a hundred. He was asking $500, but it was in a basement bar and had to come up a tiny flight of service stairs. Was probably a couple hundred in aggravation to get it out. Don't be scared to lowball if you can be patient. "I don't mean to be insulting, but if you get stuck with...

    Good video, thanks.

    Give it a whirl. If you do this I'm sure that anyone sane will acknowledge that you are the new record holder.

    Yes. That would be a new record.

    Can a break-speed app...

    Predator for sure. It's an eye opener. I thought I had a decent break, but when I first started using the app my break was averaging around 17mph, maxing out around 19mph. With the app and some practice I was able to get a consistent, and accurate 22mph, and 25mph without the accuracy. My...

    I think John is going to revitalize interest in 14.1, and I think that's great. I have no idea why the game died, but anything that helps bring it back is A-OK by me.

    Delayed drop

    Time is a hard thing to judge. Luckily we try to record all of the pool played in the garage and had the means to get an exact measurement. You never know when something interesting is going to happen, so we just record everything. Edit: One of the ideas I had is that if I ever open a pool...

    Delayed drop

    I'm not positive if it's right, but we play that if it falls in the first 3 seconds it stays down as a pot for the shooter, and if it falls after 3 seconds it comes up and gets replaced as closely to where it was when it fell as possible. Last week we had to go to video replay on a ball that...

    Watching mr. 400 trying to break the record

    I started watching at around 300 and I was stressed out the entire time. Can't imagine what it was like for him. He got really jittery as he approached his record, but seemed to be finding his groove right before the miss.

    2019 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Boots and PJs would be silly. Those are hiking sneakers, totally fine with jammas. I'm actually considering rocking that look everywhere I go. I'll start with trips to walmart.

    2019 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    Mar 29, 47 run in game vs my buddy Jim. https://youtu.be/5pInhhUjG-k I cut the sound out because he spent some time on a phone call I wasn't sure if he wanted on youtube. Yes, we're playing on a Valley 7'. It's what I have room and money for, so that's what I play on. With all the crowding of...

    What is your high run in 14.1?

    Kind of pisses me off. When I first started playing 14.1 about 2 years ago I had a mid-fifties on tape, but lost it because I figured that'd be a routine-ish run. Last week I ran a 47 on tape, my best since then. I won't be losing that one til I top it.

    In context I assume it to mean a throw shot, where 2 balls are frozen in a combination. I've never heard the term either though, so I may be way off.

    billiard beads up to 100

    I have this screwed to the wall by my table. Pretty good multi-purpose counter. https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Abacus-Educational-Counting/dp/B00005BVRQ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

    Would you have integrity?

    To be fair, I don't think the shooter said this, it was his team (that was also using bullying tactics). I'm pretty sure the shooter remained quiet until the ref made his decision. I also don't think the shooter was aware of the foul until after, he legitimately though it was clean. The...

    Would you have integrity?

    Strangely, the HD video that cuesports live filmed has been pulled from youtube. It was much better quality than the clip in the first post. On this shot the ref reviewed the video replay and still called it fair. Strange situation all around. VNEA needs to modify its rules and make it clear...

    Poll on Jump Cues, Vote Yes or NO

    I voted no, but just because I'd rather not have to pack so much crap around when I go to play. I'd also be in favor of banning phenolic tips, for the same reason. It'd be nice to leave the house with a small case that holds one butt and two shafts instead of the monstrosity that I pack around now.

    Which ball set should I buy?

    You wont, lol. I've had my skittles for years and still can't keep them straight. Too many years of standard colors I think.

    how do I improve on my break?

    Focus less on hitting them hard, and more on hitting them fast. It might sound like the same thing, but it's not.

    Practice

    Some good ideas in there.
