    Get off my lawn, Things I hate in pool today

    I wouldn’t mind that rule. Or ban them altogether. Just curious though, what if the player intentionally pushes out to a jump and the incoming player gives it back to them. Since they created the jump situation it gets interesting.

    Get off my lawn, Things I hate in pool today

    A - Side/B - Side! Just no. If you lose you go to the loser’s side with all the other losers. What is this pc crap? Somebody loses they should be ok with being on the loser’s side. Don’t like it? Try harder.

    Hey Bob Jewett, is Progressive Practice what I need?

    Progressive practice might help but also look into “quiet eyes” - you can search for it on AZB. As we age it takes our eyes longer to focus. You might benefit from giving your eyes an extra second or two to focus on the shot before you pull the trigger.

    RIP Justin Ramos aka 'justnum'......................

    I enjoyed his posts and usually thought about them a little bit where many others just dismissed them. Sometimes he was making a very subtle point. I enjoyed that about him. I also liked how he would keep on trying to make his point in the face of heavy adversity. That kind of stubbornness...

    $500 for a 45-ball break-and-run!

    When I lived in Wichita, Shooter’s on Hydraulic, Paul Weigand’s place, had a table setup with this rack on it. If you successfully broke and ran all 45 balls you won $100. The key was the entry. Most people paid $5 for a shot at it. I had to pay around $20/chance. The most impressive...

    Well if he's a pool player, he must be drunk

    First paragraph was good and shows we are closer together on politics than you think. The second paragraph was your usual arrogant, snide BS that turns people off.

    Well if he's a pool player, he must be drunk

    Just curious. Did you see the list of people that Biden pardoned? The crooked judge in that "Kids for Cash" case was on the list: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/14/kids-for-cash-judge-biden-pardon I was very outraged at everything about that case. Outraged that Biden commuted...

    Art in the poolhall

    I missed the original post but I love those murals. You did an outstanding job decorating the whole room and the murals take it that extra level. Thank you for sharing! Where is your pool hall? Looks like a place I would love to visit.

    Help: Near-Straight In Shots

    Aiming at the ghost ball center is difficult to visualize on these shots because it is so close to the center of the object ball. So I use a solid reference point, the top of my tip. Find the highest point on the top of the tip - that's the middle - and then line that up through the center of...
