We do? I watched some of her recent play, and the one thing that stood out is that she is hitting certain shots exactly like Joshua Filler does, It is obvious that he has been working with her. She went from being a middle of the road female player, to going deep in the DCC 9 ball, and winning a...

Well, my wife comes with me, so no real choice there... 🙃

My issue is I have pretty severe astigmatism. I cannot get Lasik, and when I get old enough for lense replacement, the odds are I won't get a positive outcome on both far and close distance vision..

Well... Let me say this about Mike Sigel, given I have personal experience of having the opportunity to go in with a local shortstop Josh Degler in Florida against Mike in a gambling match. (Unfortunately, I didn't have the stones, and thought Mike had the advantage...) This was something like...

Well... Vegas thrives on large groups of people making a continuous series of bad financial decisions. And for whatever reason, most of the I.T. Engineers I know, don't gamble. Those of us who tend to be good at our jobs tend to approach both work and personal lives in a rational, reasoned way.

I am considering going to Rome to get some coaching from Alex Lely. He has a deal of 5 hours a day at a reasonable price, which includes accommodations and food.

Personally, I went with a billiards glasses maker that had serviced multiple pros. I tried shooting with a pair of larger sized lenses I had on a pair of my normal glasses, and when I changed to a competently made set of billiards glasses, I saw clearly that a custom pair gave a much clearer...

And I am betting you're wrong. There is absolutely no way to mistake the effect of the downangle being incorrect, ifyou know what you're looking for. It was a design flaw in the Red Labels, that got corrected in the Blue Labels. Plenty of Red Labels have actually been retroactively repaired. I...

See my post about the Red Labels. There was a design flaw that resulted in bad rail downangles. It has since been fixed in all the Blue Labels.. But unfortunately, there are still a lot of Red Labels out there in pool halls.

I got a 4 1/8" inch Blue Label Diamond. I absolutely love it

The reason for this is that you likely have unrepaired Red Labels with the rails slightly tilted down from the "proper" down angle.. This causes the rail edge to "lift up" the balls as they hit the rail and bounce off. This effect is magnified when humidity levels rise. This also has the affect...

Good lord. I did feel that I was a bit underrated, and felt like I played "good" on Tony... But 6% odds of getting to 5??? And those were 4 1/8" pockets!

To this day... The game with Efren's crazy 3-cushion style position off a back cut ball against Jason Miller in the DCC One Pocket finals holds that title for me. I've played a bit of 3 Cushion, even had a run of 5 against some unsuspecting Korean billiard hall owner (who spotted me 5 points to...

Tried it.. Couldn't understand the results. Wanted to see what the odds of me getting to 5 in a race to 9 against Tony Chohan, given a 225 point Fargorate gap. (Which I did at DCC 2023....) What the heck is an "R9"? Race to 9? Why do the results come back negative? I think the "expectation" is...

Just so. I got one of these Eurotour 4 1/8" Diamonds... And these pockets will take a little bit of rail rubbing, with a smooth stroke. A lot of American players don't appreciate how just a little bit of work on one's stroke can make the game a lot easier than they make it look. These aren't...

What a difference 20 years makes. Both Filler and Gorst have about $1.3 million "legit" earnings in tournaments in their short careers, and SVB is over $2 million at this point. And he got good advice from his family, and invested a decent portion of that into real estate....

BS. The first time that there was a actual INCENTIVE to run 10+ racks (the million dollar challenge..), it was done at the VERY first tournament by Earl... And that quickly brought an end to any more such insurance deals. The odds are only so low BECAUSE there is no incentive, and safeties are...

I read that book over 25 years ago as a young player. Danny McGoorty is not necessarily a good example of a "non-POS".. You DID read the part about him getting the girl pregnant and basically telling her to have a coat hanger abortion, right? He did have his moments when he played great.. And he...

Stroke. On a 4.75" pocket table, you have enough pocket to "play different parts of the center", while still moving the ball around the table easily. IF you are hitting points of the pocket on such a big pocket, your stroke is not accurate, and should be the first order of business to correct...

Oh good lord.... A reasonable, sensible response from you. Is this one of the signs of the upcoming apocalyspe? Or mebbe Sweet Baby Jesus™ is coming back?
