Is his system/theory documented anywhere?

How does it devalue Mosconi's record? For me, his record is his world championships and no one is taking those away. His 526 ball run, as a casual one off essentially, is even more impressive, knowing the effort now of a top player to equal it. He's shown that Mosconi was truly in another...

I'm with you. I particularly like the old threads with knowledge and stories from members who are no longer around to share that information with those of us who weren't here the first time around. And, even if we have seen or heard it before, sometimes it's nice to bring back a memory of an...

Here is a one part of a 3 part "clinic" Mark Wilson did at DCC. I don't remember him mentioning timing during it, but he does recommend a slower backswing. I think he is right about about most pros having a slower backswing than most amateurs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XW2hg3FTu4

Carlo Biado, some instruction and some matches. Most are in tagalog(I assume), some have subtitles in English. He was live streaming today doing a Q&A with fans while practicing. Hopefully, they will add English subtitles at some point. https://www.youtube.com/c/carloBiadoOFFICIAL/videos...

I remember hearing about John posting that he's figured out something before the big run. Did you notice any difference in his play from his other runs?

FYI, In this video, the commentators mention his high run in straight pool was 140(at 13). I think this was from something Josh filled out to give them some info about him.

Here's the complete match on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3eqHbJBZEo

From John McChesney on RSB years ago... Reference: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.sport.billiard/SgU43CN6aEc Here's something interesting we tried in 1991: At an event we had 16 cues with the butt, joint and the ferrules covered with masking tape...then numbered. No one could "see"...

As well as he can run out, I would be shocked if he thought to play the combo. For him, I think the only benefit of the possible combo is for his opponent.

One tip I like, is to work on replacing the habit with a new one. In this case, think about staying down and not not jumping up. In the end, the result would be the same.

Are you hinting that you are playing?

Nice find, Bob. Maybe, it is more common in snooker with a little more shelf area to help hide the cue ball and the rounded rail doesn't automatically lead to the pocket.

Thanks for the Max Eberle video. If you would like a few more instructional videos, here is a playlist with a few of Blackjack's and more https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUA8yntYjvKentPeGCgJtfKUsyuhtBbd6

Google let's you search a "site", in this case texasmonthly.com, using the syntax "site:texasmonthly.com <your search terms>". I find it is usually better than using another site's own search feature.

I have put on hundreds of tips with the Willard Tip Tool. I never saw the piece you are looking for. I always just used one of the tools that holds a strip of sandpaper to dress up the tip afterwards. I would be surprised if the tool you are looking for holds up. I've never seen one of the...
