Absolutely, 100% true. Seen it numerous times in real life. Overweight people marrying overweight people... Skinny dude with confidence issues marrying overweight woman and vise versa... Single mother out of a relationship for a while, marrying an alcoholic guy, because she "doesn't think she...

A good drill for this is to place a ball in one center pocket, a ball in the other, and practice drawing off the shot to pocket the other ball. Work on pocketing it directly square, and as you progress, you work on pocketing the second ball with make speed, cutting it one way or the other, etc...

You do realize that you are talking about the ranking in a country where pool is in the doldrums, and we can barely field two players capable of reaching the final 16 in a major event these days? How do you think #3-#5 in America would do against #3-#5 in Poland? "Overtaking" Skylar is not...

This has been discussed before. Shane was dominant in the past because break rules favored overemphasis on the break in the "winning formula". With 4" pockets and break from the box, resulting in a random layout, SVB's dominance is nowhere near as assured. He has the occasional unexplainable...

Please refer to my statement about how sugar is in fact, physically addictive, and it is put in products it has no business being in, such as salad dressing. I think you missed those two super important points. Also, if it is a problem affecting 60% of the population, that goes a bit more...

Oh, I dunno. I don't play at the club much, just mostly on tournament/league days. I just noticed that, while I DEFINITELY noticed the "new cloth slide" on my home table in the first week or two, when I went to the club, it was pretty excessive. CB being prone to squirt a lot more, etc.

I got no problems with a single warning at the 10 second mark. At 5 seconds though, the ref is almost always going to be announcing in the middle of a player's pausing before their stroke, if not in the middle of the stroke. I don't think a 5 second warning is required.

Otherwise known as "40 pages of trolls baiting Glen, because they know he is a passionate guy who knows his stuff cold, and who doesn't brook fools well". Fools who have brand new accounts, and are totally not the same old trolls who've been banned before, and created a new account to keep...

You think they might have overstretched the cloth at the U.S. Open?

I repeat again, for the third time. Both club tables and my own were recovered at roughly the same time. In fact, the club tables were recovered maybe a week earlier, and get more playtime, so the slide should be worse on my table, not on the club tables.

They are 20+ year old Gold Crowns, which are "supposed" to play slower than Diamonds (at least the rails are), all things being equal. But it would seem that the amount of slide off OB contact BEFORE it hits the rail is pretty much unrelated to the table itself, as long as the slate is level...

Given that I summarized in my analysis of Piper's part that her drinking likely CAME as a response to her depression (in so many words), I think the writers of the script (for as someone else said, Sarah was not ever a character that Tevis wrote. She wasn't "in" The Hustler book..) did a fine...

I know garczar can't see my response as he is ignoring me, but he is a prime example of how effective the food industry's propaganda is. When the obesity problem is rampant throughout the population (and it very much is, in America), this is NOT a "self-control" issue. It's a tainted food...

Actually, it's less the fast food chains, than you might think. The food industry has figured out that if you put more sugar in ANY food, we eat more of it, whether we can taste it or not. Sugar is a metabolic poison that plays havoc with hunger/satiety hormones. So, it's not just fast food...

Pshaw. Don't bother Fran with facts when she is playing the female victim card.

I sincerely hope you are not insinuating that I want Bolo Yeung to stomp on Fran's head. I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy!

I did mention that both the club tables and my table were recovered at basically the same time.

So, I read a few other threads on Simonis 860HR, but they seem to be a bit older, and I think Simonis might have tweaked the cloth a bit in the past few years. My club here in Germany recently recovered with 860HR, and while folks have mentioned that it plays similar to 860, that was not my...

Well, tell us how you think that might have been accomplished? Give us your story synopsis. Literally everything that Tevis wrote has been turned into very high quality movies/television shows. Perhaps he knows something about the human condition that speaks to us mere mortals? Weirdly enough...

My name is Russ Chewning, and I never made any effort to hide my name, and it's been mentioned multiple times on this forum, so it's not a secret. And I am not your "pal". I wouldn't be pals with you, as every single interaction you have on here turns into acerbic complaining about one thing or...
