    Sensitivity of Power Draw Shots - Physics or Mechanics?

    Back on subject for this thread. Here are two short videos showing the stop shot / draw shot ratio in VP4. Table conditions: 9-ft table with "Tournament" conditions (I find this is pretty close to my 9 ft Centennial with Simonis 860) Setup: CB is 3 diamonds from OB, adjust english and speed...

    Sensitivity of Power Draw Shots - Physics or Mechanics?

    Here's a 10-rails shot at max power in VP4. Setting this up, it was very hard to keep the CB on the table. To get the CB to go that last full length requires taking the power up from about 1/2 max to full max.

    Sensitivity of Power Draw Shots - Physics or Mechanics?

    I believe that was max power, which is already inhumanly fast. I just made a video of a 9-ball break at the same max power, with some aim and english changes prior to hitting at 35 sec to show the crazy tracking lines. I used my Break Speed app to measure this one at 53.6 mph (about 20 mph...

    Sensitivity of Power Draw Shots - Physics or Mechanics?

    Yes, you can set up a shot and play it over in different ways any number of times with the Undo feature. You can also save any number of table layouts and load them on a later date. When placing balls, there’s no “snap-to-grid” feature, but you can display the table grid and view the table...

    Bad Cue Porn

    some guy on reddit wanted to know what this cue was worth. Best reply: “6pk of Natty-Light would be fair trade imo”

    2024 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    Thanks! Is there a video or document somewhere with all his shots described? Thought he had his stuff on YT but apparently he pulled them down. $35 for one month subscription on his site now. I’m not against spending money, but I’d rather spend it on remote lessons with you. 🙂

    2024 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    Beat the 9-ball ghost 7-6 last night on my 9-ft table with 4.5” pockets, first session with my new Tournament TV balls. Pretty rough performance, but happy to win as I’m 9 weeks post-back surgery (blown L4-5 disc) and just now finally able to play long sessions. I had laid off pool completely...

    There is a First Time for Everything-a surprise with my recent cue purchase Here

    Love the looks of those cues. Question: are they made basically the same as an original Bushka, in regards to splicing? And are they available in a black wrapless handle?

    Sensitivity of Power Draw Shots - Physics or Mechanics?

    Do you practice power draws? I like to include them in my Mighty-X practice, after stops and follows. I feel your pain tho on things going sideways when stepping on the draw pedal. It tests the straightness of your stroke more than anything. For me it's usually grip-related: unintentional...

    Dr. Dave's first YouTube Short

    He already sells DVDs with premium content. That could be re-packaged. Moving forward, he has lots of options to create subscribers-only content, just by including deeper cuts/edits and intentionally holding some subjects back from the free content (e.g. SAWS). Subscribers could also be...

    Dr. Dave's first YouTube Short

    You retired from teaching, right? If you’re serious about growing your channel, it’s time to build your brand around yourself. That CSU logo is old school and just adds visual clutter, and frankly you don’t need that validation any longer. It can be noted in the bio on your website and YT...

    Conflict Over Concession of Game

    Always let your opponent shoot an easy money ball - even the best miss them occasionally: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxvXvc5e8jI3PoOfmt7yM0H15e-9y4LNkT?si=w3z0fnOxAnCmzRsX

    Conflict Over Concession of Game

    I golf a lot. I've seen so many guys go ahead and putt out after it's been conceded I can't count, in friendly games, money games, and tournament rounds. Have also seen it on TV from the tour pros. I've never seen anyone argue that that means the concession didn't count if they miss it. The...

    Rhino shaft buyers, let 'er rip.......

    Ok, got my $30 Shore Type-D durometer from Amazon, and to my surprise it's a well-built, functional tool. Very consistent readings (within 1-2 points every time on the same tip), and gave an expected range of hardness readings across a variety of tips. I measured all the tips I have on hand, and...

    Ambition to get better slowly decreasing - no tourneys available

    I believe so. I took a 6-yr break from playing any pool there, and only jumped back in last Friday. Haven't seen my matches show up in FR yet, not sure how long it usually takes. But they definitely confirmed my ID and current Fargo and made note of my FR ID.

    Conflict Over Concession of Game

    So, for example, you would let a player continue in the match if they unscrewed while their opponent was on the money ball, as long as it wasn't the winning game? They would only be penalized with the loss of that game? To me, it's a very different type of concession to unscrew, and a huge...
