    Hypothetical 8 ball situation.

    I love playing 8 ball (especially bartable) and I don't agree with "take what you make" either. I've played it enough and a real shitty scenario is making 2/3 balls of one group and nothing of the other. Make a great break, squat the rock and your immediately the heavy underdog in that rack.

    Why not Pinegar?

    I believe hes played some of those "Make it happen" events. Pat Flemming is alittle more generous with his shotclock times of 40+ seconds though. Pretty sure i've seen him play at international open/US Open on TV table as well back in the day before Matchroom took over US Open.

    Hypothetical 8 ball situation.

    If you make all solids on break, it's open after break your technically not solids. So technically you shouldn't be able to shoot the 8ball. You would have no choice but take stripes. "Take what you make" in that case you could shoot the 8ball because your choice is already established from the...

    Why not Pinegar?

    As much as we make fun of Pinegar for slow play, he is a great player. He plays slow because he's allowed too. No shotclock, he's going to take his time to get that cash 💰. He doesn't care what others think. I have no doubt that Pinegar can play just fine with a shotclock.

    Shooting Hard vs Rolling the Ball.

    It's funny because I'm quite the opposite. I can cue perfectly straight most of the time up until I start hitting some serious speed. But, if I get warmed up and play for a few hrs that strong pace of a stroke starts to straighten out pretty good. I'll take a roll or drag roll shot over a stun...

    Issues with using ratings incorrectly.

    I'm fairly new to the CPA league thing. Only have 6 matches total in. There is a Masters division as well, I play that too. It's only once a month anyway. I still enjoy playing league once a week. I also have never been to Vegas before so would like to experience that barbox heaven at least once.

    Issues with using ratings incorrectly.

    CPA/APA handicaps are weak at the top. I'm a 700+ Fargo CPA/APA 7/9 and there are 7's in 8 ball that are in the 400 Fargo range. I play them even and they'll never win a game against me. There should be a higher cap in CPA/APA or some kind of special 7/9 or something. On the flip side if I...

    Pete Tonkin Screwed Me

    Any cue I've ever bought I've always had to pay for it in full before I received the cue. I bought an Eddie Cohen, put a deposit down. When he said it was finished I had to pay the balance before he shipped it out.

    Professional level according to Fargo

    In my neck of the woods (Canada) I'd consider a 720+ a pro player (ability) around here. Around the world its 760+ for sure. I'm strictly going off of ability what I'd consider a pro Fargo.

    Chuck Markulis memorial 1-pocket live

    I don't mind the little window of commentators. Even though it makes no sense too have lol. What I don't like about his streams is the chat window open on the stream. If I want to see the chat I'll leave it open on FB or Youtube, which ever I'm watching at the time. No need for it to also be on...

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    @elyons @Cornerman @WobblyStroke Alright made a video. Weird talking and playing at same time :ROFLMAO:. This was 1st try. Setting it up was more difficult than running it lol

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    No top 8ball player would play 13 in corner period. If you want a real safe way go 15, then stun out or draw out from 11 in between 8 and 3. Absolutely no way to get fucked here. You can land on 3 balls. Going from 15 to 13 can and will get funny more times than not. You have no insurance.

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    So many ways this can be ran out perfectly. I should just do video's from now on instead of explaining it on here. My first two options I'd run out 90 times out of 100. That's just the best way for me as I see it.

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    Other option could be 15, shoot 11 with stun/draw between 3&8 ball. Have 3 possible balls you can get on and decide from there.

    What order to shoot the stripes with ball in hand?

    15 stop, 11 is key ball for shape and can be played 3 different ways. Would probably try to go in between 3/13 and error on hitting the 3. If I hit the 3 i have easy shot on 13 and still have 14. In an ideal world I don't hit either and get good on 14. Either angle on 14 gets me to 10 ball. Then...

    Scott Frost's opinion about Predator tables

    Only played on the 7fters. No 9ft Predator tables around here....yet. I also played on about 20 different tables (all Predators) in a span of a week, about 12 hour days. Made it deep into 5 different tournaments they had going on (2nd, 3rd,3rd, 5/6th, 7/8th) So I got a good amount of play on...
