    My thought on tourney tour and tight pockets

    4.5" is absolutely NOT good enough. Good amateur players can run 5 packs on those size pockets, and pros should get a payoff for their superior pocketing abilities. Plus, absolutely nothing wrong with having a little bit of play post break. Contests between elite pros should not just be "runout...

    WWYD 10 ball

    Ehhh... If you get thin on the 9, you got a nice thin cut that easily travels all the way up table, and back down. If you land full, you are good as well. You gotta come up really short to land bad on this ball going three rails. REALLY short.

    I'm new to ebay, same cue listed by 3 different people for 3 different prices, what does it mean?

    Big red flag. If the low price post does not answer as well, it's a 100% pass. I am at work, so I can't actually view the auctions, but the lack of response and multiple listings gives me a bad feeling. If this is supposed to be a legit Balabushka, the low price also throws up red flags.

    I'm new to ebay, same cue listed by 3 different people for 3 different prices, what does it mean?

    It's not just about the percentage. It's about the age of the account, how many sales, and how recent those sales are. And the reviews, and whether they look legit. If the account is a number of years old, has consistent positive reviews, and has a lot of recent activity, with good reviews, then...

    I'm new to ebay, same cue listed by 3 different people for 3 different prices, what does it mean?

    Well, what is the seller's rating/feedback? It's the only way Ebay has of giving the buyer some information about how trustworthy a seller is. And I would look up information on what recourse you will have if buyer scams you. Might be, you just get your money back, no questions asked. If you buy...

    America vs Rest of the World

    I specifically was talking about it not being hard for a teen from "any" country to reach 700 Fargorate, of course, assuming they have the physical talent and personal drive. As well as access to quality equipment. Physical talent and drive are universal, and a certain percentage of people are...

    America vs Rest of the World

    Lol.... I live in Germany. There are at least 3 people in my club alone, north of 650, and they are adults with jobs. I know of at least 4 players in my immediate area and who play in Oberliga that are officially over 700, and who regularly play Eurotour events.

    America vs Rest of the World

    It It's their "general inability to get funds/approval/visas to travel". Only the absolute world crushers get their shot, and if they don't beat pretty much everyone they play right out the gate, unlikely to get a second chance. So really, only the ones just slaughtering the other players in...

    Anyone Use A Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft?

    Lol.. It is the "Saga of BloodNinja", which harkens back to the earlier days of the internet.... 1996-1997 or so. Guy was going to into chatrooms and pretending he wanted to cybersex with the ladies... And then he would do this....... There like 15-20 of these out there. OP put it right across...

    America vs Rest of the World

    I am sure that has nothing whatsoever to do with their general inability to get funds/approval/visas to travel.

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Well, it ain't like he really had a choice, but to "accept it like a gentlemen". 1. He was dead money in this event, and knew it. 2. He's not gonna spit in the eye of the organization that is paying him to commentate, and actually doing something to bring more money for the players with a chance...

    Diamond Professional Table Delivery Times

    Yeah.. But then you'd be stuck with a Rasson, a table with limited resale value, as compared to a Diamond.

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    I could actually teach him a lot about gracefully accepting a called foul by my opponent in a tournament I am absolutely dead money in, as Scott was in this event. Or at least in how to not mouth off to my opponent, bringing the situation to the attention of the referee...

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Because the local tournaments he plays in AZ all adopt the local league rules. Just like everywhere else in USA.
