    SJM Slant on the 2016 Mosconi Cup

    >>Maybe my memory is wrong, but I think it mostly came up in the context of one team member sizing up the next shot while the current shooter was sizing up the current shot and working as a team not to burn up time on the clock, especially when they were on opposite sides of the table. I thought...

    14.1 instructional run of 80 balls.

    not talking about the cueball. the object ball gets these Hardened marks, and it doesn't matter what the humidity is, or what kind of balls they are; i also use the Aramith Tournament Pro (Duramith) balls, but i've seen it elsewhere. and it's not sometimes, it happens virtually Every time you...

    14.1 instructional run of 80 balls.

    when i get a skid like that awful one you had near the start, >95% of the time i find a very hard chark spot laminated to the object ball; so hard that i have to scrape it off with a fingernail. it is the remainder of the skid: the chalk that was on the cue ball and was trapped between it and...

    Thoughts on Lucasi Hybrid and other mid range cues?

    last i knew, Thorsten does not use the slim, he uses the regular hybrid turned down to 12.2-12.4 (depending on whether you believe him, or the people at Cue & Case).

    Is an 18' x 13' room a no go for a 9' table?

    Fred Agnir -- as usual -- has it right; as i mentioned, i grabbed the short cue 4x in that run, including at 25:00. it's a little confusing because the Trouble Shooter looks cosmetically similar, at this low resolution, to my OB-122, although if you notice, the "butt" (it's a 1-piece cue) is...

    Is an 18' x 13' room a no go for a 9' table?

    went back and found my receipt. i bought a 48" Trouble Shooter from Seybert's. it got better reviews, and i loved it once i changed the tip. probably could've gone with a 52", which would've been even better. at any rate, the balance was Great, and if you see those 4 shots in the video i...

    Is an 18' x 13' room a no go for a 9' table?

    i'm not sure why you're listening to doubters who Haven't done this but want to jaw about it anyway, when i told you i had a 9' GC in a room 1 foot *smaller*, playing the same game you are, and it was just fine. i learned how to break 50 in that 17x13 room, so your 18x13 is Very manageable. am...

    Is an 18' x 13' room a no go for a 9' table?

    i would Not do the offset, at least as shown, because you will CURSE that post constantly. as you know, 14.1 is really a half-table game if played properly, and that post will figure in way too many critical shots if the rack end is near it. imagine yourself shooting a secondary break behind...

    Is an 18' x 13' room a no go for a 9' table?

    i had my GC 1.5 in a 17'x13' room for a year, shooting 14.1, and it worked just fine. teaches you to keep the cue ball Off the rail like yer s'posed ta. ;) and if you don't, there are cheap and very good short cues out there; don't buy the first one you see, shop around. i don't remember which...

    The World 14.1 Tournament PPV Sept. 5th - 11th

    very hard to watch tonight -- frequent freezes for a minute or more, just when something critical was happening! not on my end: speedtest -- run During one of the long freezes -- shows me as exactly where it always is, should be totally loafing even at 1080p video rates.

    Which player from the past(or even present) do you wish there was more footage of?

    Mosconi, of course. as pointed out, there is NO footage of him playing in his prime, and he is still considered by many who saw him in person as beyond comprehension in his abilities. after that, Mizerak; there's at least *some* video of him, but not nearly enough. there is a little of Harold...

    Things I need for my first cue?

    don't care much if i get flamed for this, it's true: you don't need any tip tool. none. ever. when i got back into pool some years ago after a decades-long hiatus, i bought all the gizmos -- which didn't exist when i was a kid -- and used them assiduously. around the time i got my OB Classic...
