    Stance Aiming Right Heal

    I try for ball of my foot on the shot line, so pretty close to the toe the line approach advocated in PGP (agreed, excellent book). I have a natural tendency to overstep my position, and go more heel on the line or even over it and then I just get all sorts of screwed up. Takes a conscious...

    Data on types of position methods

    I like the info, it's a topic I've been giving more focus lately based on the discussions, recent Dr. Dave video, etc. and trying watch matches with this topic in mind lately. Been so fortunate to have so many free streamed matches coming out of Vegas the last couple weeks it's been really...

    What a tool!!!

    This has been an interesting thread just to get the range of peoples takes and opinions on it. I had my initial reaction and now, looking back and having read more views, I think my take has softened a little. I still don't think it was a good move but I can see other perspectives a little...

    Sold 👑 KING CUE CASE 4x8 Black on Black 👑

    Hard to believe this is still available! So classy in all black and really like the addition of the rubber feet. As an owner of one of Al's cases I couldn't recommend them more highly. If I had the extra funds I would buy this as a backup (and for storage) to the one in my avatar. Maybe if...

    What a tool!!!

    So many wrong steps here. She should have called the combo in a tournament. Hoang was an absolute nit for calling that foul. If you want to be a super stickler about the rules like that, okay, but make it clear in advance or give your opponent at least one warning the first time it...

    Las Vegas Open

    I like the multi set format but I used to watch a lot of tennis so I’m very used to the general idea from that. And it does match up to how I play with friends, we’ll usually do shorter sets and a few of them rather than one really long set. I do not like the shoot outs though, in any way...

    Forward balance or rear balanced?

    I have a very strong preference for a forward balance, 19-19.5” is perfect for my tastes. Just feels right to me

    Super Touchy Subject Men vs.Women in Pool

    Going to assume you meant to say "far left". I don't think that is true. Can you provide sources where a large group of liberals are claiming this? Also, I probably would not classify myself as a "moderate" liberal at all, I'm very strongly liberal and would qualify as pretty damn far...

    Shaft Selection Based on Deflection

    I agree with this. The natural pivot point thing makes sense for mishitting from your intended spot or for someone who really does use BHE. But I don't find BHE to feel very natural for me and when I've tried it I actually found it rather difficult to do well because of that. And while I...

    $1000 entry 564 and under finals

    Interesting. And shady behavior. It would be nice if Fargo could somehow flag accounts for suspicious activity like that. Accounts that go up and down by significant margins in relatively short and active periods of time. Just something to give tournament directors a sign that maybe they...

    $1000 entry 564 and under finals

    It was 564 and under at time of sign up and then they provided a 10point cushion if peoples ratings went up after sign up. So 574 was the max, if anyone raised above that they would be refunded. Makes sense to me assuming you have sign up a ways before the actual event. They explain it at...

    Jumping/Pro Play

    Sorry, but that's a bad analogy. In golf you get up to 14 clubs, some of which have specialized purposes. Like a lob wedge, which can be very useful for getting over obstructions. Like a jump cue. Now pool is different and the safety is an integral part of the game. I'm pretty ambivalent...

    Should All Skill Levels Have an Equal Chance to Win a Weekly 9-Ball Handicapped Tournament?

    I agree with justadub, as a lower ranked player I don't expect nor really want to have a truly equal shot. I want something to strive for and work towards, so just give me a reasonable chance and I'm happy with that. If I play my best and get a little lucky I'd like to have a decent chance of...

    I fixed Fargorate

    I can see both sides but ultimately I like the current Fargo rating system. The above example is problematic to me because the numbers themselves don't have a lot of meaning, it's the ratio that is important. Take players with a current Fargo of 400, 600, and 800. The gaps between them...

    Best Custom Leather Case Makers?

    I’ve owned some nice cases including Justis and Whitten but best I’ve had has been my King. Absolute pleasure to work with and the quality is best I’ve ever seen.

    What’s wrong with me?

    The 314-2 is already a low deflection shaft so going to Revo or other low deflection carbon shaft really isn't going to be that different I wouldn't think Not surprised you didn't notice much. Now try a solid traditional wood shaft and you'll definitely notice a difference compared to what...

    4-point with veneers - Jill Hawk Cue Case

    That is very cool! Love the idea of “points” worked into the case and really well executed.
