Yes, it's a terrible tragedy that an old white guy got unfairly detained by police. If only our outrage were fairly distributed on this topic. Maybe NOW we can have that conversation about how police often overstep their bounds, and basically have little effective oversight, to the extent that...

Glenn, He is talking specifically about the Red Labels, from a specific time period. And he's absolutely right. They played terribly. And players at DCC very much did complain about them banking extremely short. Remember.. My Red Label Diamond banked a full diamond short from middle pocket to...

I am an American living in Germany, and because the base table is older Gold Crown 2's and such, I have some experience with tables regularly "rattling". All the club tables are tightened up using hard pocket facings, because otherwise they would be buckets. And Diamonds only "rattle" when balls...

Yeah Bob... There are "some" slow players that play absolutely jam up. They are for sure some of the most unpleasant players to play against. I haven't played more than maybe about 3 such players in my life, though..

Absolutely. Every time I play a slow player, the word of the day is FOCUS. Don't let ANY opportunity get away from you, and make damn sure to get out when you have the chance. And play absolutely lock up safes. Slow players only got a ton of time to get in your head if they are running balls...

Correction in your post, bolded for emphasis... This is not a "worldwide" problem, FYI...

Well... I find it somewhat amusing that "European safety requirement" was the very first thing that got thrown out, even though it is America that is best known for it's frivolous lawsuits.. Not... pretty much any country in Europe. I can only assume you are American, having suggested that it...

And this kind of sucks for seeing the gambling, as well, as the gambling matches tend to occur earlier in the week.

I am planning to. Thinking the side events at Internatiknal Open + Salotto matches with iusedtoberich.. Better location... Better run events. Prolly overall cheaper. And the side events report to Fargorate.

Anthony Meglino is the exception that proves the rule, sir....... And he's gotten deep a time or two.

I think it is a great idea, but due to personal reasons, I don't think I will be coming back to Derby City Classic any time soon. Bad Boys Productions still refuses to do the work to report full match scores to Fargorate, so as an American in Europe, who is interested in improving my Fargorate...

I watched a few hours myself.. I agree, the first set was well played on your part, and you struggled a bit in the second. Opponent seemed to be struggling with fundamentals and thinking processes at first, and improved (a bit) later in the second set. If you are looking for constructive...

Bad link. I tried to post the correct one, but the forum won't accept the live link.

So.. As my table has become more worn, the speed/slide difference between my Diamond Pro/Am (in super wet wine country) and the club Gold Crowns is becoming more pronounced.. I have confirmed that the table was installed with 860, while the club tables have 860HR. I went over to another club...

"Right" now? It's prolly fairly accurate at 550 or so. With a "little" practice? Somewhere right at, or a little north of 600. I've beaten some 650-675 players in my German club, when I had been practicing heavily. I have no idea what my rating would have been at during my run in CO/WY, if the...

Well.. I was actually referring to 9 ball when I made the above comment.

I think pool was more fun to watch when the cloth/rails played slower, and players had to knock the ever loving hell out of the break to have even a chance of making a ball. Also, this results in more variance as to the position after the break, leading to a wider variety of runouts, and some...

So.. I have decided I want to make the attempt to really commit to improving my overall level of play, AND Fargorate this year, but I have having some trouble figuring out which events to play. At one point I was around 590 Fargorate, and that didn't even include the tear I went on for about 6...

Oh, no doubt. Filler put on a spectacle, shooting circus shots like they were absolute hangers, and seemed absolutely immune to the pressure. And what's crazy? Filler prolly shoots about half a ball better now.

No man... I'M Seybert's! Now let me in.... I got the cueeeeee..."
