Got bored, wandered into the mechanics forum, found dis-information. Will add clarity... -60A for facings merely because it closely mimics the reaction of the rail cushions. The idea is that if you hit the point directly the resulting rebound will be as similar as possible to the rest of the...

OG Falcon... 25 some odd years ago I suppose. Morally forced to buy it after slightly damaging the wrap while demo'ing. Worst thing I ever did was buy a cue. Older than that I believe is my Marcel&Fils snooker cue. That landed in my hands used, and will never sell it.

extremely light coating of clear nail polish. Hopefully I don't need to tell you to remove it when you're done "painting". ;)

Was there a player's list for the 10b posted somewhere..? I quickly went looking for it, without luck. Just curious who played, and specifically who SVB matched up against

Totally agree, and although I wouldn't slow roll through, I would set up the BIH to stun away into a lower position to pot the 4 in the 'upper right'. Can't argue with how easy it is to roll a ball. That said, soft rolls can go real bad. In this case so bad a kick will likely end up placing...

While I'm no fanboy of Shane's, or any other top pro. I think anyone who eludes that Shane's game has lost a step is doing him a disservice. As you say, the tides are rising and we need to heap the props on him for (for the most part) keeping pace. That said, if we are to believe the press...

I struggle with the simplistic application of Fargo odds. For example that 40% chance between players with a low robustness (~1500) is far more likely to be overcome, then when comparing players with robustness in 5 digits. I don't know which way the omnipotent algorithm leans, but I have to...

Off topic, but seeing both Ko's in the top ten of the world is something. Genetic disposition, or sibling rivalry..?

My apologies... I quoted you to note the potential pitfalls of soft rolling forward. Then went on suggesting other concepts that weren't specific to your post. That said... Despite your flawless record in avoiding skids with soft rolls. It is a greater reality with the type of shot you're...

The problem with the soft forward roll is the always loaming kick(skid)... Not saying you should bank on it happening, but successful pool (imo) is about minimizing risk. The problem with the draw shot is that people think its a draw shot. If you're reversing the ball, you're doing it wrong...

The most shocking thing about that pattern and how he blew it, is that I'm 5 fargo points below his spd....

In my humble opinion. Being a "shot maker" has nothing to do with positional play. Merely the ability to sight and execute pots that the majority would shy away from. Once you combine CB control beyond what's required to make the pot. You jump the gap from being merely a shotmaker to a...

I knew the response before I opened the thread... Sample size, aka "the statistical band-aid"

100%... Fargo didn't change anything other allowing the outsider to have ready access to credible insider info. Now you walk into a foreign room for an event and instead of asking a buddy "can that guy play?", you say "do you know how to spell that guy's name?"

Wednesday night is CCS (ACS) night. ...and once again I'm the bride's maid. Scored my second 84 after all is said and done. 85 being a perfect night. Some day :mad:

Well, one session down with my return to APA (CPA), and I've been freshly reminded of why I left in the first place. Won MVP in both 8 and 9 ball. Not much of a whoop there as the division I'm in is pretty weak. Would have been more of a retirement catalyst if I hadn't walked away with both...

Back in my day, a $500 set was a serious game. However, the players generally paid their own way. These days the pockets have gotten real deep and backers are abound. I could make a phone call and get a game anywhere between 5 to 25k within an hour. Not that I'd like the action but it's...

Looks identical in size to the smallest Mezz version. I won one in a weird side bet. Holds down the paint on the window sill in my table room. That particular "stubby" is ridiculously priced. ..but I think it just maintains the theme of being ridiculous to begin with. I mean sure, on the...

Pretty sure table size and cloth wear change the algorithm
