    Fedor Departs CueTec...?

    (American) Indians starved to death because they were forcibly moved onto reservations, and away from their ancestral hunting/farming grounds. Just "FYI".

    3-in-1 tip tools - a useful tool to have??

    One of those was good enough for Scott Frost to "forget" to return mine after he borrowed it during our match at DCC.. 😁

    3-in-1 tip tools - a useful tool to have??

    Unless I am mistaken in what I am seeing, it seems like there are sanding papers glued to that device, which is basically the exact opposite of "Last Forever". Explain to me what I am missing here.

    It really depends on whether your desire is to just see any and all gambling, or whether it is to see "above board" gambling. Personally, I have absolutely no desire to see players gamble, when the outcome has been pre-arranged. As for how long I have "been around" gambling? Well, since around...

    No.. Players who cut up their own backers are the lowest rung in the pool world.

    Uh, no, they don't. There are elite players that do, but the ones who are a level below them don't and as such, that us why they tend to lose out in final 16 and above. And you are comparing POOL, to a game that plays a lot closer to SNOOKER. Snooker prioritizes pure shotmaking over position...

    Predator WPA World 8 Ball Championship 2023 (17-22 Oct 2023), Austria, Winner $75K

    Anyone else get consistent stuttering on Pro Billiard TV's YouTube channel? Every match I try to watch has the same behavior, every few seconds, video hangs for .5-1 seconds, then continues. When I watch Matchroom matches, no stutter. I tried adjusting the bit rate, buffering, and still the same...

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Apparently you have not read much of this thread before giving your opinion, as it has been clearly stated that Hunter did nothing more than give Scott a heads up that he was touching the ball, and that he "needed to watch out", or similar. He never called the ref, and he DID NOT "call a foul"...

    Yeah, and I play it pretty well, "bro". The point being... "Shotmaking" is nothing more or less than hitting the pocket, and specifically, "where" you intend to. "Ball in hand position" REQUIRES that you hit the pocket *exactly" where you intend to. If you DON"T, your cue ball goes a farther...

    Yes, yes, yes.. We get it. IF they played with rules that pretty much completely prioritize ONLY the break, allowing Shane to run packages to make up for any lack of safety execution, he beats people. But, when the break rules are prioritizing execution of ALL other parts of the game EXCEPT the...

    I always felt it was the exact opposite. You can't put the CB exactly where you want, unless you are hitting the pocket EXACTLY where you want, which is a function of shotmaking/stroke.

    Ping Pong Balls That Look Like Pool Balls?

    One of your very, very, very, very, very, very few, useful posts.

    Ping Pong Balls That Look Like Pool Balls?

    I made my own. Multicolor permanent marker set, a pack of white ping pong balls, and call it good. Not too hard at all.

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Oh yeah. Scott HATES it when someone plays good on him, especially if he sees that person as a lesser player. I played him a few years ago at Derby, and he was NOT well behaved.

    America vs Rest of the World

    "In America". You forgot that part. "In America", there are generally poor coaches, as compared to Europe, and less access to pool rooms, so "in America", yes, you pretty much have to be born into a family of players, or with one really good player, to a certain extent, to get a solid beginning...

    That Vietnam crowd is what pool needs more of.

    Yeah. Because making money is the definition of "living a good life". So sad to hear this. I am betting SVB might disagree with your assessment. With his drive, he could have made a lot more money in his life. He seems to be enjoying his fishing.

    That Vietnam crowd is what pool needs more of.

    Call it what you like, but the business environment doesn't support pool in America, we CERTAINLY don't have a national structure set up to develop young players, no legit trainers with an incentive to develop them other than their own wallets, nor to provide them any meaningful competition...

    Of course it does.

    Welll.. You READ it, didn't you? :ROFLMAO: (Gotta know your audience, fams. I know you are capable of reading something more than a one liner quip..) And I reiterate... If you don't KNOW what a "healthy choice" is due to intentional manipulation of the facts by government/food industry, how...
