    WPA vs Matchroom agreement reached

    I honestly don't see a problem with competitive products on the same dates. The competition forces event holders to make their event the more enticing option.

    what pros play with maple regular deflection shafts ?

    They'll definitely struggle, without question. You need a strong handle on the physics with a blending with experience to be able to flip back and forth. Watching players who only know LD hit some shots with HD, is always entertaining. However we really shouldn't make this a CF vs wood...

    THE Magic Rack

    Thank you for saving me the time. The balls pop out of the plastic racks (including Magic Rack).

    WPA vs Matchroom agreement reached

    moot The bigger news is whether or not this means the WPA are accepting the WNT rankings as the official standard. Which if memory serves, was the breaking point of their original understanding

    WPA vs Matchroom agreement reached

    nope, and I can't imagine why we think we should. While I would have been completely content with the WPA being resigned to governing 'amateur pool'. I guess this is good news on some level. As long as they continue to be a non-factor as to how pool grows and stay out of the way of those with...

    what pros play with maple regular deflection shafts ?

    Until they figure out how to make a zero deflection shaft. Everyone on some level needs to compensate for deflection. Is it easier to overcome deflection adjustment when you deal with a consistent lower magnitude...?.., of course. Is it some badge of honour to master the heavy deflection of...

    what pros play with maple regular deflection shafts ?

    Back in high school there was this kid (some measure of mental challenge) that everyone claimed could recite any MLB player stat you could dream up. He'd run around the halls until someone would test his knowledge with a random question. He'd hit the brakes, declare whatever and zoom, off he...

    Fargo Rate - Fair Race Calculator

    apart of the app... Not sure if it's apart of the free use portion or not. Frankly I don't think much of it. A 50pt variance supposedly equals a game on a race to 9.

    Paging Dr. Dave! How did this scratch?

    Sry, just stumbling back in the forum from the weekend. I explained in the post your quoted. So I'll hit the ball back in your court again as well and ask "why not"...?

    Paging Dr. Dave! How did this scratch?

    Maybe even a better question is why you question the choice...?..., lol My guess is the intention was to hit two rails and get a BIH shape on the 9. The vast majority will take seemingly easy opportunities to get the CB away from the rail for the next shot. Guy just hit bad is all. No real...

    Paging Dr. Dave! How did this scratch?

    Without being able to see how he cued it up. This is the most likely based on my exposure to similar situations. Far more likely to happen and infinitely easier to do on fresh cloth.

    Mezz Cues

    Glad I bought my Exceed when I did. It's value has increased based on the offers I'm getting. Never thought I'd ever own anything related to pool that would appreciate...lol Whine and cry about business practices all you want. Mezz has made a great product and earned the right to reap the...

    Congratulations to Mike Dechaine winning Smokey Mountain Shootout

    Forgive me, but is there something notable about this win..? Was the field strong..? I'm unfamiliar with the event and nearly all the previous winners listed. I almost won an argument with my wife last night and wondering if I should start a celebratory thread myself.

    UK “women’s” final

    100% This is the very harsh reality some refuse to acknowledge. The gender roles are coded into our genetic make up. We can think whatever we want, but 1000's of years worth of evolution and necessity can't be and shouldn't be ignored.

    UK “women’s” final

    I wish I was educated enough about biology to have a credible stance in this debate. If I were to hazard a guess. In terms of 'non-athletic sport", (pool, darts, chess, etc). I believe this simply boils down to men generally having a much higher desire to assert dominance. I know every man...

    UK “women’s” final

    Not that I've witnessed. However you have to understand that the business model (equalizer) revolves around players becoming overrated, exceeding team overall handicap, and then requiring to form new teams to continue to play. I would imagine that they would purposely ignore factors that flew...

    Pro Pool Payroll in Perspective

    I am curious if that dynamic differs for the elite pro. Take Shane's Rasson sponsorship for example. How many times have you seen SVB walking the floor of the USopen events raffling off an OX table..? I have witnessed the 'lesser pro' (not meant in a derogatory manner) raffling off cues...
