A good rivalry is great for any game or sport. I do not understand the outrage associated with the first match. It sounded like great entertainment to me. In professional sports, athletes fight and trash talk all the time and people love it. Why is it admonished in pool. Doesn't make sense...

It's slower than Ralf Souquet playing a race to 7 in 9-ball against himself. :D

We need a sub forum for complaining about how slow the the threads load. :smile:

Huli Wigmen wear hats too when playing pool too. You got a problem with Huli Wigmen? :p

What's wrong with wearing a hat when playing pool? What do you have against hats? U. J. Puckett, famous pool hustler, often wore a hat while playing pool. U.J. Puckett vs Minnesota Fats

It looks like the issue is being caused by the azbilliards spam server, I mean ad server. It always seems to hang on adserver.azbilliards.com

It sounds like this guy is using the Bill Gates Windows operating system business model. Bill Gates would be proud.

It's as slow as Ralf Souquet running a rack of 9-ball. :smile:

Schuester cues. I used to work with a guy whose last name was Schuester. Another co-worker suggested that Schuester would be a good name for a line of cues.

I've heard Danny Diliberto refer to the 'give up stroke' several times during his commentary. Danny says that the hardest stroke to beat is the give up stroke. Is this what you're referring to? Basically, he talks about a player who is way behind in match. The player pretty much quits...

I've had the same issue after clicking on a thread a bunch of times. The threads load slower than Ralf Souquet running a rack of 9-ball. :shrug:

So it's the speed and not the spin or draw in this case. Thanks, Scott. :thumbup:

Here's one. http://www.amazon.com/Magnavox-Recorder-Up-Conversion-Manufacturer-Refurbished/dp/B002TIHQLC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1336336246&sr=8-2 You might be able to find a cheaper one at a pawn shop. That's a good place to look for outdated electronics.

But if you hit below center mass on the cue ball with an elevated cue stick, it still imparts draw on the cue ball, just like with a level cue, right? Even if you can only hit the very bottom of the cue ball. I was just wondering if imparting draw on the cue ball would cause the cue ball to...

Will any of the 15 DVDs from the event be player review DVDs? I particularly enjoy the accu-stats player review DVDs, and I don't know that accu-stats has ever done a player review DVD for 8-ball. Who's going to be doing the commentary?

Hi, This might be a dumb question, but does putting draw on a jump shot make the cue ball hop less and therefore improve jump shot accuracy? I was practicing jump shots the other day and this seemed to help. I also recall watching a match on youtube and one of the pros, I don't remember who...

Wouldn't a smaller tip diameter allow you to impart more spin on the cue ball? For example, if you used max spin with both a 13mm tip and a 12mm tip, wouldn't the 12mm tip give you more side spin?

Danny Diliberto said that he's never missed a shot from the announcer's booth. Also, when the other commentator does good commentary, he complements them on how well they're 'shooting' from the announcer's booth. In one of the matches Billy Incardona said that he was one of the best...

2000 U.S. Open 9-ball. Johnny Archer vs. Efren Reyes. Billy Incardona and Grady Matthews doing commentary. Grady: "This is a pretty difficult tournament to win. Especially if you do like you [Incardona] and forget to send your entry fee in." Billy: "Well, you sent yours in and I'm in the...

Aramith billiard balls are top of the line. Brunswick Centenials are good also.
