I'd been using a 314 for about a year and liked it very much. I was skeptical that I'd find a CF any different, but I recently bought a Rhino and the change improved my game. The characteristic that stands out most for me with the CF is better energy transfer. I'm not hitting the ball as hard...

I wonder if Chezka's intimidation factor contributed to Seo Seoa's scooping that draw shot in LV. Didn't she have Chezka on the ropes at that point? Seoa outplayed her 13-11 and lost the shootout.

Wow. Can you tell me where this rule is found? Thx

Assuming WPA rules are in play, if a player is on the 10-ball, shooting to win, and pockets the 10 in a pocket other than the one he called, does the 10 spot and the incoming player has the usual option of shooting or giving it back? My opponent did this today, and both of us having an 8-ball...

Efren for brilliance, Gorst/Filler, Seo Seoa.

Saudi buys up another sport in its ongoing attempt to soften their international profile. Pool and Snooker benefit, and while the money is meaningless pocket change for the Saudis, the laugh is still on them. Sponsoring pool tournaments won't change anyone's mind about this duplicitous "ally,"...

Someone said maybe there's an app for measuring. There is on an iPhone. In the Utilities app button, choose Measure. Add a dot at each pocket point.

Put the one near the pocket and force your opponent into a push out. Is this a better strategy than break and try to run out?

Cue ball on long rail at 2nd diamond; object ball on opposite long rail 3rd diamond. Cut shot.

As a relative beginner, I eliminated Dave Piona when he had to spot me 7-2 in a NPL (National Pool League) tournament, thanks to a couple of easy 1-9 combos. That was not fair to Dave, but even with 7-2's happening, over time the better players consistently cashed in NPL tournaments. Just ask...

Las Vegas has the best restaurants in the world?! Someone alert the Guide Michelin! They didn't know.

Anybody who attended the twice-yearly Sands Regency tournaments back in the day would love to see them back. The energy was great, everybody had fun, the prices were good, the best players were there up close and personal--and all the years I attended, I never once heard anyone complain about...

Y''know, you can google everything I said in about 3 minutes.

I, too, played in those weekly 1995-ish Great Entertainer NPL tournaments. Early on, I was such a beginner that Dave Piona had to spot me 7-2 (the maximum NPL spot). I was somehow presented with easy 1-9 combos in the first two games and it was over. Point is, 3 foul offers some balance against...

So the CSI rule says you don’t get contact by shooting away from the OB. The WPA rule says you get contact if the OB moves. Taken together, they back up exactly what Dr. Dave says. Thanks for the responses.

Thank you!

Some players got in an argument over this at my local room today. Cue ball is frozen to another ball. The shooter intends to make a legal shot by driving the cue ball to a rail. A couple of players insisted that one can simply shoot the cue ball directly away from the OB to a rail for a legal...

I worship the ground Fedor walks on, and I think he's a gift to the sport of pool. I also think the American team should be made up of Americans--for a practical reason and for a more subjective reason. First, what if, next year, established rules are suddenly modified in a way that greatly...

I wonder if MR has the financial strength to go all out and just buy this win, i.e., break open their piggy bank, temporarily boost prize money way, way up and increase the number of events. Probably a pipe dream, but if they could, they'd either get more cooperation from WPA or render WPA...

No such thing in my post, as anyone who reads it can see.
