    Scotch Doubles Strategies

    Unless each team member misses or safeties every shot, the rotation changes. Team a: weak player shoots, misses Team b: weak player makes ball, good player safety Team a: good player makes ball, weak player makes ball, good player misses Team b: weak player's shot See how the team b weak player...

    Frustrated At Pool

    If you're not playing your friend the exact same way you're playing the A player (shot selection and decisions) then that might be your problem. You can subconsciously decide to ease up because of a perceived skill advantage (going for a shot instead of playing safe because you know your friend...

    How long before a home table pays off?

    One of life's greatest cruelties is discovering you play a ball or two better wearing nothing but boxer shorts.

    Whatever Happened to Bonus Ball?

    One hit wonder would be a bit of a misnomer. It wasn't really a hit.

    The OB Challenge: Dechaine/Deuel vs. Bustamante/Reyes!

    It's surprising that nobody else seems to feel this way. I've asked match promoters about signed posters/flyers before, and except for the Geno/Bartram grudge match (thanks, Ray) I've never had a response. Let's say there's 100 5"x10" sections of cloth on the table this match is being played...

    Fake American Cuemakers cue??

    The way I read it, the guy wanted the designs copied. That's done all the time... maybe people want a cue that has a nice, classic design (the Kaiser SW copy cues come to mind) without the hefty price tag. I would say that's ok as long as nobody is trying to sell it as an authentic big name cue...

    The OB Challenge: Dechaine/Deuel vs. Bustamante/Reyes!

    I'd love to have a price for a nice, printed poster like the match announcement in the first post signed by all 4 participants! Individually purchased, as an ad-on to the stream purchase... I just can't imagine them not being a popular item. I've been wrong quite a bit, though.

    Are we devaluing the iTrader system?

    Working within the confines of the iTrader system, I think at least neutral should be left for someone who agrees to a deal (offer made and accepted, and promise of payment made) with no follow-through and no communication. Communication makes all the difference in the world... I might be...

    Team Slogans

    I want very badly to find enough people and start a league team... only so I can name them "Chicken Soup: don't tickle me" It's like a giant middle finger to all the people who recycle "clever" names. Shafts, balls, and racks... it's all been done.

    Babies with pool balls...

    In the name of showing off, and to possibly help anyone with ideas for taking pictures combining babies with their interest in pool, I present these pictures (taken at 2 weeks and recently at 6 months):

    My Pay-it-Forward thread

    I promise there are no shenanigans with Dave_M winning. I'd use my psychic powers for much more devious things than rigging drawings on pool forums! Hope you have some more things to pay forward, mister!

    Final participants list The below list is everyone who met (most of) the eligibility requirements. Those who put their name, where they play, and a picture of their cue have 3 numbers assigned. The 2 members who forgot a couple of things in their posts each got 1 number to round out the 35...

    Chapter 6, Departure from Texas

    The last session I was in, we went back and forth for 7 hours with neither of us being up more than one set until the end when I took two in a row. Several back-to-back sets with scores of 5-2 going in each of our favor. You know, if you're going to Florida, you might need a boat. Anyone here...

    Chapter 6, Departure from Texas

    In 30 years she might be the recipient of proceeds from an AZB charity auction thread, featuring signed jerseys from the Van Boening cup. In a way, it's almost more legendary in the pool world to go out completely broke. Only a few of our legends seem to die comfortable. Rhea's just skipping the...

    Adding weight issue

    Assuming yours, and the other players' strokes were the same speed and (guessing) slightly elevated, additional mass in the cue might turn a draw stroke into a jump shot. Lower the butt of the cue. Wait... You're not scooping the cue ball over the object ball, are you? If that's the case...
