I'd shoot the 2 with inside one or two rails to get on the 11, then 9, 14, 4, 8, 13.

Does Boyes play straight pool? How about an all around challenge with 10 ball, 8 ball and straight pool with Tony. I don't think he gambles but I'm sure he could find somebody to stake him...

Damn, JAM, you got me with that one. I thought it was a new thing. Nice post. Just another in the long list of failed pro organizations that usually bit off more than they could chew.

LMAO.........

No, the government does not control the bank rates/inflation. The Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel that controls our money supply with no oversight. Jefferson warned us against such idiocy. The Federal Reserve prints Federal Reserve Notes and loans them to our government at...

The main problem with our economy is the private federal reserve bank counterfeiting our money and making it worthless. A one ounce silver dollar still buys about 4 gallons of gas. And a "dollar" has always been one ounce of silver. It is federal reserve notes printed out of thin air that are...

I bumped up the 43 I had a couple months ago to a 61 today on 4" pockets before I rushed a tough shot in the side and dogged it with a wide open table. I shouldn't have thought about the 70 I should have had until I had it.

In the pro tournaments with no clock you know a lot of the top players will play very slowly late in matches if the score is tight. So that makes you play slower sort of in self defense. And that makes them play slower, and on and on. The only real problem I see with a chess clock is older...

The problem is, that'll likely just make him play better.

Good shooting Andy! But you're disqualified for showboating on the hill with the three rail draw on the eight ball. An unnecessary violation of the player code of conduct.

Lately I've been practicing straight pool. Since I'm still working with shoulder problems I started very slowly running the same low number of minimum number of balls from a break shot 5 days a week and am bumping it up a very small amount each week. I start each run saying that I need X...

Yes. The balls grab the rails and bounce at a sharper, shorter angle. You'll hang a lot more balls when it's wet. And there is a less advantage to slow rolling balls.

Humidity is a problem because the extra drag causes more curve. You have to hit a lot of shots much harder to keep the same amount of deflection and curve. Slower shots with english need to be struck on a different line more through the edge of the cueball, but still lining up to the edge of...

How does the APA match clock work? I agree that a clock shouldn't be a factor. But a 30 second shot clock imposed in the middle of an uneven match is pretty much always a penalty on the trailing player, who usually has not been at the table nearly as long as his opponent. Nobody knows how...

Thanks for posting. In pro matches I would hope that the clock would never expire. You'd never want to see somebody forfeit their match. But this seems to me the best way to make everybody play at a reasonable pace.

Has anybody had a chance to use chess clock type timers for pool matches that allow each player half of the match time? It seems to me a logical way to speed up matches with fewer penalties on the non offending player. If you wait till halfway through a match to put a short shot clock on both...

I listened to your interview on tour plans. Very encouraging!

The first trade show I went to in Kentucky a long while back, Nick Varner was being stonewalled at the door by a young lady that didn't recognize him or seem to care that he was a world champion.

A shot with left english is different mechanically on the same arm than one with right english. Switching hands to switch english can give you the same exact shot instead (if your arms are the same size, which mine aren't though). I'm playing full time both-handed now. I swith for whatever...

I just the other day noticed that people have given me rep. Thanks... I didn't know... I thought the private federal reserve banks just printed it out of thin air the same way they counterfeit our money and make prices go up. Who knew?
