Relax. 1. He’s being a little tongue in cheek. 2. He’s saying he has a world record for all ball fouls, and one for cue ball fouls only; not that he legitimately believes he can claim two world records. Also, the most surprising thing for me in that video was John S racking the balls like...

As @Cameron Smith said, you’re opening break is placed by hand. You’re basically just doing whatever you want with the pack. It really doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things, to the point where I feel silly even talking about it. However, would you prefer to pot a 9 ball with ball in...

I can’t be bothered looking at your post history, but it sounds like you’re new to the world of 14.1 and haven’t followed these high run attempts. You understand that John S pursued the 526 for months? And that Jason S played for 12 hours a day for a week for his 714 or wherever it’s become...

No practice run starts with 15 balls racked. Being critical of warm up shots doesn’t make any sense. People who practice straight pool play run after run. Should I discard all my high runs because they weren’t played cold? Of course people restart. Should there be a limit of one run per 24...

Lol what?? I don’t even… 15 balls racked. Okay. Warm up shots. God forbid. Starting again when you miss. Every player in the world only gets one chance. Instant death on miss. Hardcore survival straight pool.

Not always. There are rare situations where there really is no other option but to pot a ball; no route back to baulk, the pack has been split open, can’t drop the cueball on the top rail without leaving a ball on. It’s stunning how often top players, when faced with no other choice, make shots...

In cuesports, it’s almost always better to not have too many options, in almost every situation. Playing snooker, one of the scariest things is leaving someone with no other option than a difficult long pot. They have no choice but to knuckle down and pot it. I was playing a good friend one...

Apologies if this comes off as overly critical. This post shows how far pool has strayed from being a professional sport, and I think it’s great that Matchroom is following snooker’s standards. Also, completely wrong re. snooker. Professionals have to create tournament conditions to...

It’s no so much about power, but use of black matter as a shaft material. This will assist in breaking barriers of time and space.

Pool hasn’t been a focus for a few months as South Korea has been dealing with its Omicron wave, but we’re finally starting to see things ease up a little, and all my students and co-teachers have now all been infected and recovered. I actually went to a pool room and played last night...

He’s not saying it’s a commercial. He’s saying whoever filmed the video is presenting it as one (of sorts). Nor is he saying Efren is lying, just that it’s not an “endorsement” in that sense that Efren is officially endorsing the product. Efren seems like the nicest dude around. If someone...

Okay, I did those photos quickly as the package arrived just as I was about to walk the fuzz ball. I will attempt to do much more accurate measurements of a variety of holes to see if the maker has made adjustments for for balls to apply pressure etc. If the maker happens to read this, I’m...

Don’t worry too much about the exact placement of the calipers in photos. Once I let go of them to take the photo they move a little. Out side Edge to edge should be quite accurate, as I could use the inside edge calipers, but center to center I eye balled. Typing this as I walk my dog. I’m...

WTF?? Pretty sure you just head-f$$%ed me for the rest of my life. It’s bad enough that I get distracted by how arched the fingers of my bridge hand are, now I’ll have all this going through my head on every shot.

T Starting a GoFundMe to get me to Pleasant Hill to buy digital calipers.

Damn it, now I’m shopping under the influence:

Hahaha! I feel silly repeating this all the time, but I live on a small island in South Korea. I don’t think we have any Harbor Freights and certainly none that sell wine 😂

It’s 2am where I live and I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine 🍷 I’m reluctant to post these photos because all I can tell you is that, despite the deceptive camera angle, the start of the tape measure is as close to the edge of one of the circles as possible, and I tried to make the tape...

Btw, what’s ‘all the stuff’ you used to make it?

Yeah, I talked about this in the video. While it took slightly less adjustment than doing it without the PermaRack, I can see there still needs a little adjustment to get a perfect rack quickly. And, as I mentioned, it’s not always as simple as adjusting the donut of the offending ball...
