If spoken, "your" and "you're" would indeed get the point across, but here it's not "speech", it's typed! Think what you will, about my character--I just found the irony a little bit funny. :)

I used to know of some guys that would fill their pillowcases with wet jeans--wrung out somewhat, so not dripping, but wet enough to add heft.

As your (CageyCraigey) awareness of position, and skills in making position, increase, you can also not take ball in hand on a miss, but instead move to the next ball, and leave the missed ball in the rotation after the 9. For example, you sink balls 1-4, then shoot the 5 and miss. If your...

There are "billiard" cues, which have smaller tip diameters...and maybe a different taper profile. The balls are larger in diameter, so I'm guessing that a smaller tip allows further offset from center ball, and possibly more spin is achievable. If you can get on a table, you can start with...

It doesn't, as far as your *aim*. However, if the cue ball is moved forward or back on the cue ball center-to-center line to the target ball, then the actual contact point will change, and so will the resulting path of the target ball. This is what BC21 has shown. To vary distance, with no...

First of all, sorry to resurrect a thread from 2020. However, I read through the replies, and while there were certainly some that explain what didn't seem clear to Chris, I wanted to add something, which might help others who see this discussion. The fractions and resulting angles given are...

"Improvise, adapt, overcome." --Gunnery Sgt. Highway YES!

I am a *very* fast player, both in taking individual shots, and moving shot-to-shot. I doubt it will help your current ability--in fact, it will likely hurt your game--but, you can try a couple of things: 1) Speed up your target acquisition. Once you *know* where you want the cue ball to hit...

Awesome! I really hoped someone would have an example. Oddly cool!!!

I never realized that they were that short! Did the ones you remember look store-bought, or homemade?

Something that pops into my head every so often, is how jump cues are allowed now, but aluminum jump "rods" were banned in the past. I suppose it is simply that jumping itself became more prevalent, but is that the case, or were rods really that much easier to use? I also recall seeing a...

I only knew him from here, by the profile name. Sorry to hear of his passing, being one of the AZ community. Thanks for posting, Fred.

Overly serious response: You can't put the numbers on the table, because the references change, depending on what side of the table you are on. Like, they flip 180-deg going to the opposite side.

The last post on their Facebook page was from 2022. However, there is a phone number: (701) 776-7240.

I would maybe add drill across the back corner sides, so if anyone desired to, they could loop a small cord through it for extraction. From the pics, it looks easy enough to remove without a string though. The Cube tip shapers have a hole like this, although they attach a small chain and...

I follow what you are saying, but wanted to mention that the angle going to the larger ball changes *if the change retains the center location*. To retain the angle, as I think oscargrouch may be envisioning, the contact point would be kept, while the center of the larger ball moves towards the...

The APA keeping of innings and defensive shots is the same. Where the points come in is after the player match is completed, and is based on the loser's performance. A player match is worth 2 or 3 points. In the case of a sweep--the loser does not win a single game, the score would be 3-0...

Curious...were you playing 1P with the 15 reds and the snooker CB, or a regular, pool 8-ball rack and CB?

Not only is this an "amatueur" event, it's a bar/restaurant locale--it's not the DCC, the Valley, or Vegas. It's not something anyone should have to "git gud" for (look it up). *Regulars* that show up to local weeklies are mostly drinkers (in my experience), and are interested a little...

@ChrisinNC, To avoid having to address "fairness", change the payouts to be closer together.
