Those are the ones in "APA-7ft-prison". They are locked in in their leagues 3-5 times/week and most of them don't dare to play weekly handicapped tournaments on 9ft tables. Here in NYC you can see that first hand. RAXX and Cuebar are two different stories. They are pretty close to each other...

The chicken or the egg? Them changing would help, is all I am saying.

I think more will be needed. I inquired about the APA master's division they started here in NY a while ago and asked if they play on the 9ft. They looked at me like a deer in headlights and said: why would we? Vegas is all 7ft! There needs to be a goal/reason for players to go big. Those APA...

Maybe that was never the plan, just not communicated well. Qualifiers still open the field skill based. A 720 has a fair chance, instead of hoping to sign up in that 5 minute window to get.on the wait-list. I just wonder why you would not take a wait-list already and clear that once you have...

And don't forget: the qualified don't pay the full entry of 750(?). If they let non-qualified in for that money later, then the qualified still have a benefit over them.

Is this a cultural thing? There are quite a few more qualifiers listed for the European open in Germany alone. Is qualifying for something more normal for euros than for Americans?

I was there as well, but didn't count. Semis were empty as people still were.due to show up

Some empty seats are due to how the venue is planned out and operated. If you get a beer, you only get back to your seat in between racks. Also there are day passes for the day, so for semis and finals. Some will miss beginnings of a match,...

He is back fulfilling orders. He was in hospital and stopped working for a bit. Cancelled one of my orders, but since then I reordered and it was as speedy as before.

I just ordered. Seems like he is doing better again.

I think they overdid the pocket size. I watched Lechner loosing against Oscar. He tried 2, 3 difficult shots and missed them all. Long shots with speed to get some momentum as he was trailing big time and didn't get many chances. This seems to be a situation almost getting impossible for them...

I bought three of those in black. Work well, not flimsy, would recommend

For 40 bucks you get ten ultraskins to test. I did that and settled on soft. I started with medium, soft, very soft,.... I was missing more shots with very soft and then saw Scott Frost on a what's in the bag segment on Karl Boyes' channel where he admitted he is nuts about tips, but said...

I tried to order from him a few days ago. He refunded immediately and messaged same info as on website, asking to check back in a week or so. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

there were threads about this before. You can buy spare break shafts for your joint and try with an old player. JJcue has them for ~$40. I am in the cloning camp, just with a harder tip. But, major rabbit hole alert! Like with all equipment. You can play as bad ( or even worse) with the most...

You are missing the games ending in first inning of non-breaker after the breaker made balls after the break, but did not run out

I learned years ago: the hip alignment is key. Hold the cue at the balance point and let your arm drop down and let your cue hang loose and relaxed. The cue will hang in a natural angle to your hip. That's your specific angle. When you shoot, you should stand with your hip in that angle to your...

reminds me of my league days in Germany 20 years ago. There was a weird, overly strict dress code in league matches. The discussions were endless and not leading anywhere. There had to be black dress pants, black dress shoes, .... Black denims or black sneakers would not cut it and people would...

In a growing environment there will be lower tier ranking events drawing top pros and not requiring qualifiers. Last year there were quiet a few good events around the us open on the east coast

This is normal and expected outcome if you play mostly weaker rated players in handicapped events/leagues. The more weight you give, the less likely it is you can upset somebody. But the weaker player always keeps the chance of upsetting you. I think, there are many players who would be higher...
