    Good for the real HER…..

    Keep in mind that if a TD said only actual females may play in the women's division, at least one of the following would happen. 1. TD would be killed by trans activist 2. TD would be assaulted by trans activist 3. TD would find themselves unemployable while trans activists picketed outside of...

    Good for the real HER…..

    Years ago the local humane society put on an easter egg hunt for dogs. The eggs had treats in them, biscuits, etc. We brought our dogs and when one of our pups sniffed an egg, we picked it up, declaring it "found". We probably got 10-12 eggs in total for our pups. A woman was also there with a...

    Good for the real HER…..

    Perhaps they did not take issue with the tournament director or with the rules because those two entities did not gain by stealing from the women. OP did not say "Good for the real HER -not her animal opponent". To state a fact that only one of them is an actual woman is not dehumanizing. That...

    what's your 9 ball B@R % on your practice table?

    A buddy of mine told me about something similar. If you want to continue to get the break practice, do you break the 9 balls and remove the higher balls than the one you are currently playing?

    what's your 9 ball B@R % on your practice table?

    I am so inconsistent, it is difficult to say. That, and I rarely get to play a full set against the ghost. I typically play around ten racks when I am practicing my break, and take bih when I can't see the OB. I'd guess my average is 15-20% B&R, approx 50-60% with bih ghost. When I'm breaking...

    Predator Puerto Rico Open (10 Ball), 7-11 Nov, Men’s Champion $37.5K, Women’s Champion $22.5K

    Josh played great in the 4 or 5 games I watched. His nut-swingers in the chat are an embarrassment to the game, but whatever. I suppose I need to accept the fact that humanity is devolving into a respect-less, value-less mess.

    New J Flowers CF shafts

    Anyone who read it would get the joke.

    Was this a good hit?

    I think the fact that the 3ball did not rotate upon its axis like it would if struck by the CB on its way to the rail is another indicator of a foul. I understand how difficult the call must have been on the floor at that moment however.

    Shot Of The Year (2023)

    I give him credit for the balls it took to risk his teammates' money on a low percentage shot. As far as your point, I agree totally. The long distance thin safeties have been replaced with banks in my game. My eyes aren't the best and I hate to air mail bih to my opponent when I miss the edge.

    Sold 3x6 Used Whitten Lite Case for Sale

    What length cues will it hold? I will also be using it for storage, I just regret selling my last Whitten.

    What is this built-in twist-out butt extension?

    I play in Nat's room often. He is building cues and recovering tables every day, which seems crazy to me (at his age). He still plays at a fairly high level as well. I'll have to ask him about the extensions. I've yet to see a Southeast cue that has one.

    What is this built-in twist-out butt extension?

    Greg Hearns made the Widowmaker cues for Bert back in the day. I believe he was also from Canada -out east iirc. Greg's cues were the first I saw with those extensions and that was back in the mid 90s. I own several Widowmaker cues but only one has the built-in extension. I wonder if Hearns...

    Cole Dickson's last cue (Snakewood)

    I tried getting my last cue in snakewood but it was too volitile/young to be trusted to be cut and not kaplooey. I settled for kingwood. Looks nice but I really wanted the snake. GL

    Dual stage tournaments are superior to true double elimination

    I'm not saying I disagree but tennis is much more dependent upon fitness and energy levels. Using today's ratings, a 4.0 tournament may look like a 3.0 vs 4.0 by the time of the finals, with the B side player physically exhausted. I remember driving 4+ hours to tennis tournaments with a buddy...

    2023 International Open, Oct 30 - Nov 4, Norfolk

    Digipool site is sh!tting the bed. Reverts from stage 2 to stage 1 brackets and can't keep the live scores going properly.

    Opinions: CF shaft for a Schon cue or buy a new Cuetec cue with a CF shaft

    I vote full Cuetec cue. Half the reason I went CF was the durability of the shaft. The other half was so I no longer worry about getting a nice cue damaged or stolen. It plays similar to my customs but if it's broken or stolen I can have another that will look and play just like it in 2 days.
