    What shaft?

    Might as well purchase the LD offering. If you continue playing you're likely to end up making the switch eventually. Might as well start now while the pieces are still coming together.

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    ah, the word 'average'. The great get out of jail free card of arguments. Thought I slipped into a fargo thread for a moment there...lol. You even doubled down on the average within the same sentence. Most don't commit that heavily. ;) You can most certainly can train in [insert your...

    C J Wiley

    Man I hope not... 4:00 18:25 24:50 46:27 53:15 Feel generous by labelling it solid 700 play. Would have been a landslide for Efren if his break was working for him. I know some just love CJ, but if I had to seriously consider how my life "as a pro" would have gone. It probably would amount...

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    Can't argue with this... I do know I've had greater success getting energy into the CB with my CF breaker. So much so, it's justified the expense for me. So, by extension I'm forced to agree that in regular play one could 'swing easier'. Which in turn could potentially keep the player's...

    I love 9-ball but...

    You realize you're contradicting your intentions here... Of course I am assuming your whining about the use of templates, (which are designed to freeze all the balls together).

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    Now take a deep breath and tell us why pool isn't a globally popular game and how we should fix it.

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    This is why my utopian version of the pro game has multiple short 'winner break' sets. The opening break of each set alternates. I'm sure I'll be told that it won't change the likely outcome of the match, but at least we'll see both players get an opportunity to showcase their talents.

    Wood vs carbon fiber shafts for top pros - I went through the Fargo top 100 to see who uses what

    It's this marketing propaganda that has made CF has popular as it is... Notion of performance gain is complete bunk. Use it, don't use it. I really don't care. I'm amazed I still haven't experienced some CF users coming to my home and knocking on my door with pamphlets.

    I love 9-ball but...

    I wholeheartedly agree... ...and the golf comparison has always been a bad one. How about we consider the immense popularity of pro darts instead...? Both tavern born games and that don't require any athletic ability. Pool should want to be where darts is...

    I love 9-ball but...

    Holy crap, screw the rest of this thread. This is literally in my +35yrs of speaking the bolded phrase have I ever heard anyone else use it. We must have picked it up from some TV show or the like. Can you remember a time when you first heard someone use that turn of phrase...? No way we...

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    Well without the numbers being ran. I'm afraid simply telling me I wrong won't suffice. Guess I'll be stuck reposting this scenario indefinitely and preaching from the other side of the fence. Truth is, I've never seen the comparison spelled put in the manner I have. Which I believe is the...

    European Open 2025, Sarajevo, March 11-16

    I'll try this again.... Can you big brain the following please. My uneducated guess is that if we run the scenario below a handful of times. The Alt break results will favour the weaker player. In comparison to winner break format. I determine this merely because the 857 player has slightly...

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    Natural talent is extremely overrated. There's ridiculous amounts of value in having to learn/understand a then practice to perfection what "naturals" would potentially take for granted. I've always claimed I have no natural talent regarding pool. Not that I'm a world beater by any stretch...

    Trigger Finger……….Has Anyone Ever Had This Medical Problem?

    Former work associate developed 'trigger finger' on his dominate hand, index finger. Injections and physical therapy... Based on his complaining about discomfort. I'd hazard a guess that it does the trick for a handful of months at best, then returns. I did ask at one time about surgery. I...

    Bride arm tension?

    loop = closed...? ...or am I missing something? The power of the 'V' is that you don't need to have it square to the cue.

    Agreement between matchroom and wpa?

    Did anyone read the article or see the horrible photochopped photos...? Anyone also notice the lack of announcement by either party actually involved..? If it needed clarifying. The WNT (MR) does not need the permission of the WPA to have a World 9 Ball event/title... MR is also not...
