I've always believed ball on ball kicks was caused by chalk but have also always believed that static has an effect on how the chalk behaves. Re static and how much physical effect it can have I know that if I comb my hair with a nylon comb for about 6 swift strokes I can easily divert the...

Don't play anyone who walks in and offers you 5 of your own balls down and the break :smile:

Keep it simple....unless we're talking complete "can't run 2 balls banger level" any 8 ball match handicapping realistically has to be games or sets on the wire......for walk-in money matches that is. As you probably know very well, the nature of the game and the potential tactics involved...

Shrewd move, should be virtually certain you'll get more entrants by playing all the qualifiers down in Dubai as opposed to up in Fujairah. As you know most people have jobs and live and work in Dubai or Abu Dhabi and can probably get to and from the Dubai pool hall each work evening a helluva...

:smile: Now now sarky........you know that in view of a lack of basic talent and an onset of decrepit senility the gentler green baize of the golf course will always comes first and looking at the schedule, this year that'll be The Montgomerie Men's Open 9/10 April, last event in the 2009/2010...

Now that's the sort of thing we want to read about. Bravo Doug :smile:

Well done Doug, good operation.........it's pished with rain several times in last couple of weeks but the sun will be turned back on just for you :)

Roy......I can tell you that the traffic from Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports to to Fujairah has got a bit better. Hope that helps :p PS.....As far as general everyday life goes "Filipino time" resembles the pinnacle of German efficiency when measured against "Middle East time", so no news about...

Presumably because the organisers are established as opposed to "new" and because in the opinion of WPA they are not yet guilty of not paying within a "reasonable time". Beggars belief that they could reach this opinion, even without pool's recent history in this respect.........but what other...

As TheMarsMan has already said.....yes you of course are entitled to continue to shoot after it's spotted. Since you've quoted a related rule maybe it's useful to also point you towards the correct part of the rules which actually covers this so that you can if necesary show it to anyone who...

Lot of sound common sense there Fatboy and not surprisingly some straight to the point marketing insights. However the kind of way forward which you are proposing as a possibility is a completely different animal from the Ho deal that Trudeau was actually trying to pass off to pool players at...

How quickly some forget. A prosperous business model/plan !!!!! :eek: :smile: I too mean no antagonism whatsoever to you. I'm just astonished to see anyone say that. 1. All the evidence actually points to the fact that the IPT had one of the worst thought out and most incompetent business...

Edit....very bad wording. Still very bad wording lol.

If you are genuinely shortstop speed and have recorded that you are taking 12/15 minutes to play a frame of 9 ball on average I don't think it means you are a deliberate or slow player.......it means you either buy cheap knock-off watches or you are clinically comatose. A shot-clock would be no...

Presumably the thread question is basically about profesional pool and professional pool tournaments and the question poser isn't just asking for wish list daydreaming. The only conceivable large potential sponsors of professional pool are right where they have always been.....in the gambling...

Hi Peter and everyone else, interesting qustion. Obviously Peter cites the relevant WPA Rule but exactly how that rule would apply in this case depends on some information that hasn't yet been given by the opening poster. The first thing that strikes me is that most people in this thread seem...

I'm sure if we all put our heads together and concentrated real hard we'd be able to come up with one or two pool pros less competent to serve on a jury than your Dad :smile: Interesting story, thanks.

Everything's relative but if you are talking about spectators when you really get down to it there's no such thing as "large draw" pool players. How many spectators at Galveston...75? How many at a million dollar IPT event....100? Can't get much bigger potential "draws" than were there. Even...

"Hoping" for that team when it's already been announced that Darren Appleton is in the team is a bit pointless, unless you're hoping Daz takes up motocross bike riding between now and the event :smile:

Understood Hu. Thanks :smile:
