Alex Higgins. But these guys are the exception. Regardless, don’t jump up. Nothing to be gained from it, whether it’s nerves, poor technique, or because you think you missed.

Pretty sure I heard someone mention Woodward doing 35ish of these in a row; playing spot shots, cueball must land in the kitchen, play next spot shot from where cue ball lands. Also, this thread makes me feel like I’m having a stroke. A rating system that involves playing the ghost but there’s...

Ideally you know how to pot everything without side, then go from there. 20 years later, you’ll have forgotten how to pot anything without side. Life goals.

I have two ignites that I use with an Exceed. I’ve tried several other CF shafts that belong to friends. Some of them I outright hated (Revo), some of them were good or comparable to the ignite, but none of them better. I’m not sure there’s any point going into details because it’s all so...

It’s interesting how supporters of ivory dismiss the ethical pre-ban/post-ban reasons for the ivory trade being despicable. Yo, check out my ballin’ cues grandkids! It’s made with parts of an animal that is endangered, has a complex social system, cognitive and cooperative intelligence, and...

Holy crap! He has 36,000 posts! That’s a lot of worthless shit 😂 He said 84 was shit.

One of the few things I’ve missed during covid; my parents and watching Siming Chen. I love the way she plays, and she was really dominating the women and playing very well in the open events. Also, apologies for photobombing the thread. I’ve been dreading opening AZB all day because I wasn’t...

Well, I think everyone can benefit from seeing a cue thrown out a window, or a shaft inserted into a sex toy, regardless of their Fungo rating. But more seriously, it’s quite difficult to detach yourself from the world you live in and slum it with the plebs. Fuck, I have to stop posting after...

And this, too. I have an interest in making videos, as some of you have had the pleasure of witnessing with Diamond Dave. But honestly, despite having a wealth of knowledge to share, as so many here do, I don’t want to make videos about the same old stuff. What am I going to add to playing...

Ahhh, this is really difficult. For starters, I don’t think he did a very good job of explaining the shot, and as mentioned by JV: It was contrived because he can’t demonstrate a ball rolling off or a kick, so he had to miss his initial shots on purpose. That’s nothing new for pool...

And to be fair, you weren’t actually criticizing Legends for using the PermaRack, just questioning how to use it going forward if it does create dead balls.

Right, he didn’t explain it well, but I think the proximity to the cushion was the point of the video. I don’t think he was demonstrating a normal drag shot. He’s too experienced and too good a player to choose that shot as a drag shot demonstration.

Yeah, he didn’t do much to explain the shot or how it’s different to a standard drag shot. It’s one of those shots that actually requires fairly precise timing to get the timing and slight drag when tight on the rail. As an aside, every pool YouTuber makes a video about the drag shot, telling...

So, I’m the only person who was joking with their reply (maybe YOU’RE playing it wrong, Mr. Boyes), but I think some people have missed the point he was making. He specifically chose the shot on the rail not to demonstrate a drag shot, but to show how, by elevating your cue and coming down on...

Jeez, Diamond Dave could take a few tips from that video title. Way to make assumptions about your audience Mr. Boyes. Maybe you’re the one playing playing it incorrectly.

Indeed. I personally don’t have enough balls to try that.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. If it results in a dead ball 100% of the time, it can’t stay, or the rules need to adapt (your suggested change). I wonder though, what would happen if someone actually ran 500 with every break shot being a dead ball from the pack? I mean, there’d be a few...

John Schmidt: Even though the tables are tight with those 4.5” pockets. 😂 😂 😆

Is it easy? I use a magic rack when I play straight pool. I’ve sometimes attempted a shot I first saw Souquet play: firing into one of the two head balls and banking the other head ball into the opposite side pocket. I think I’ve made that shot twice out of 20-30 times. There are several...

The average marathon time for a beginner is about 6 hours. The world record is just over 2 hours. If you know anyone running marathons under 6 hours, make you sure you kick ‘em in the shins as they cross the finish line, then teabag them as they roll around on the ground in pain. Then make a...
