I believe he is. If not 650, very close.

You shouldn't encourage him. Literally every single post he makes is trolling. You can't take anything he says seriously. Best just to ignore him.

He won't see this, as he ignores me, but he is just that type of dude. Some people's chirrens think that making fun of foreign names is hilarious, for whatever reason. Just know that all Americans are not like that. And to whomever said that Phuc Luong "would be used to it by now".. Eh.. I...

The positive thing about this? Most of them speak REAL good english! :D:cool::LOL::ROFLMAO: (As opposed to here in Germany, where it is a bit tough to find a good english speaking teacher near me...)

I wouldn't be so sure. The original WPA statement kinda insinuated that the punishment would come immediately, and now there is a 4 month grace period? Smells to me like WPA knows that the players with the best chance of cashing high in Matchroom events will tell the WPA to get farked, so the...

Oh, please. Diamonds became the standard because they had the wherewithall to host a tournament series that paid out a LOT of money to the top players, and the players were chasing that money. Those players would have played on 30 year old Gandy Big Gs with kindergarten felt and 5 inch pockets...

"Forcing" promoters to do what the players want, eh? Yeah.. Because players have done SUCH a good job in recent decades of promoting the game, eh? Players think the best way to "grow" the game is "Pay me more, biatches!" Most players don't have even the smallest clue as to how to promote the...

So what does everybody think about SVB getting put out of the Hanoi tournament?

Okay, that's it. We're playing even at DCC next time...

Something we finally very much agree with. The pool cue collector market is very much older dudes from The Hustler, and The Color of Money heydays, and younger players are more interested in performance over aesthetics/collectability, and as such, we could expect the market to fall slowly but...

Skid causes the CB to "cling" to the OB as it is pushed forward or at an angle, which "drags" the tangent line slightly forward with the movement of the balls. Bob Jewett, is this a good description of what happens with a skid?

Put another way relevant to your response.. I did not say "ONLY spin has an effect on exit angles.", I said "Spin ONLY has an effect on exit angles." (Clarifying that I was referring to "side" spin.) Where that ONLY is applied in the sentence has a big effect on meaning. Don't put words in my...

But we aren't talking about other things that can affect the exit angle. The statememt was specifically about (side)spin only affecting the exit angle, not the entry angle. A light falling on the table in the middle of a stroke can also affect the entry/exit angle, but I did not feel the need...

I think some players are born without whatever chemical process causes nervousness/fear. (Or it takes a ton more stimulus to generate it..) Might be why they tend to partake in risky behavior.. They simply don't physically feel fear the same way other people do. Never get that shot of adrenaline...

Exactly this. In Germany, at least, it IS fairly easily for a talented young person to get to at least 700. They can play in leagues, they get VERY good training, and they have a ton of killers to play against, to learn "what it is that they need to learn". They will never get banned from a...

As pertains to Blue Labels, I agree.

Spin ONLY has an effect on exit angles. Tangent line combined with draw/follow is what affects the entry angle. On anything more than a very slowly struck ball, with extreme spin. Edited to clarify "side" spin. Oh, wait. That was made clear by differentiating draw/follow separately. But some...

Chris managed to get Omar Al Shaheen to give him either the 7, or the 8 ball at Derby (I think it was this year?), and I forget whether they were playing 10 ball or 9 ball.. Whatever it was, Omar was in a dead trap, and got his nuts shot in. Chris is knocking on the door, and if he can figure a...

I played on 4 1/4" Diamonds at DCC for the first time ever earlier this year, and they were eating my lunch at first. Grew into being able to play somewhat competently on them by the end of the week, and when I found out they had some here in Germany, I hopped on it most rikky tik. Got one in...

We are not in a "hotbed" of pool in our area. Other areas have a greater concentration of great players.
