JJ's Billiards in Fredericksburg replaced their gandys a few years ago with gold crowns. That looks like one of them. The rails play like they are too low. Very fast and bouncy and prone to hopping. I'd guess that could be helped by putting something under the rails to raise them slightly...

Ran a 42 and a 56 today. Had two runs of 42 and a 53 Friday.

Wow!:grin::grin:

We haven't created one for them to join that won't cost them money.

Ran a 43 and a 52 yesterday.

I had two runs of 43 Monday. Last night I ran a 42 and a smooth 76 until I got careless with position and stuck myself on top of a ball with a wide open table. I was getting good angles on my break shots.

Because you cannot decrease it without distorting the game. If you want call shot, why not call runout? Because call runout would be even more boring, everybody would play safe all the time afraid they'd get out of line.

I was talking about a regular, no call shot game. I would guess there are nearly as many balls lucked in playing safe (unlucky for the shooter) as when playing a shot in pro tournaments. There will be nowhere near as many balls lucked in as there will be other "lucky" rolls. Focusing on...

Lucking a ball in an unintended pocket is a tiny fraction of the luck factor in 9 or 10 ball. And it works for and against players, as when a ball falls in on a safety and leaves the shooter safe. Most of the luck is in playing position for the next shot, or what you leave when you miss. Call...

He needs Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Bush and a few more communist/fascists to cover his back on Team Socialism. Ron Paul and I would take turns kicking their collectivist butts back to the 30s where they belong.

Giving extra points for runouts to encourge firing away and then making the tournament call shot is not logical.

They grow and distribute hundreds of pounds of marijuana every year. That makes them dealers. Shouldn't they, and the president and congress be subject to the same laws as pool players?

There are drug stores everywhere. The president, an admitted marijuana and cocaine user, now oversees a huge pot operation growing and distributing marijuana at a cost of millions of dollars of your money. If marijuana is illegal, the president needs to be locked up...

Saturday I ran 20, 28 33, 32, 22, 27, 23, and 28 Sunday I ran a 23 and got interrupted. Today I ran a 28 and a 29...

I didn't play all last week. Ran a 43 monday. Today I had runs of 20, 20, 27, 21, 20, 27, and 50 on my sub 4" pockets and 10 year old 860 simoniz.

Didn't get to play again till yesterday. Ran a 42 and scratched off a side pocket break shot. I was shooting across to the opposite side from a little above and caught the sides of the first and second balls I think and went straight in the corner with a medium speed hit.

Just like 9 ball, but with 12 balls. Got another 29 last night. Dead straight on breakball.

I used to see him a lot around the DC area tournaments, always seemed cool to me. Never had a lesson from him, but then I mostly give lessons.:grin-square: I think he asked me one time why I pounded so many balls warming up. Did he instruct you to slam a lot of balls or was I unconvincing, lol?

I didn't play yesterday :eek:. Got a 29 today. Was good and close to my key ball, had to draw it a few inches and came a little short. Broke the balls out some but had a crappy bank. Missed it and flew my cueball off the table onto concrete and into brick wall trying to break the rack.

Sounds like a nice plan Mark. But how will this be different than the APA funding the WPBA and dictating decisions to that organization? Should we assume the USAPL will want control of the pro tour that it is funding? Or could it go to fund tournaments sanctioned by an independent player's...
