I can see where it might be, Johnny. The stripe provides lots of references for identifying and reliably re-acquiring the contact point once down on the shot. Back in the day when the spot shot was a big part of the game (you younger players will have to look up the term) that was the whole...

I'd play to the upper left pocket after first removing the magic rack from the rail. Normal aim and routine as for any shot, commit 100%, and would play for the cue ball to end on the foot rail.

I guess your question wasn't clear the first two times you asked it, huh? :D

Besides being of Filipino heritage, he is also a citizen of the PI.

I was going to get one for you.;) Way to spoil the surprise. :D

For $21 shipped, I'll try one. PM me when and if they become available. Thanks!

You understand sponsorship, right? Tournaments have been played on all sorts of tables with all kinds of balls depending simply on who the sponsors are. Remember the Elephant balls?

I'm going by Mark's quote of Matchroom's statement and it said players eligible for international competition, it didn't say US born players. How is it that you get US born players only based on what Matchroom has said? :confused: Just because they haven't had any non-native born US citizens...

Because I don't believe you must be born in the U.S. to be eligible for international competition such as the Olympic Games. U.S. citizenship will suffice. That's how. :thumbup:

Sounds like it's not limited to US born players.

"It's a beautiful day, let's play 36!" I was a White Sox fan as a kid but even then I had mad respect for "Mr. Cub". A true hall of famer in and out of the game. Just a beautiful man. R.I.P.

Yeah, use a qualified table mechanic for the job. And make sure he installs a proper bed cloth, not felt.

Don't agree. By this line of reasoning the US Open shouldn't be a WPA points event either. ---- I do wonder if MW will still be captain. I'd be interested to hear his take on this. IIRC he stated at the outset last year it would be about building for the future, giving some of the younger...

I nominate Chris to take over as OP of this thread. So the army of backers must be out $40-$50 a piece. OUCH! Tough to win when you're playing with scared money. :grin:

That's GPS, but that's not what this is. This is akin to putting a chip under the skin of your house pet. You can't find your pet by tracking it to a location but if it turns up at the pound you will get your dog back. Same deal with the RFID chip in a cue. Doesn't let you track it, but if...

Nothing to worry about...except the airline losing your luggage perhaps.;)

IIRC the TSA had announced a change to allow pool cues but it was either never implemented or quickly rescinded. In any event they are still on the prohibited list. If you want to chance it and you get past security somehow, the airline might still not let you take them on, which means the...

I don't know if Pechauer installs them during the manufacturing process but they are available after the fact as an option. I was looking at Tiger break cues on Seyberts and they have an option to install an RFID chip. Not sure where they install them, probably under the butt plate with the...

Since when is Allison Fisher an American player? :confused:

All good responses. What I'm taking away from it so far is if you beat all comers in a race to 100 you're the best at racing to 100.
