    Consistency of APA Ratings

    Break and run I find that difficult to believe. To Break and Run over 30% of the time is a extremely high quality of play on a bar table. It would be impossible to do that and maintain being a "6" unless it was over a very short term.

    Bemoaning the rise of the bar box

    claw Chalk holders no, but having a claw saved my expensive cues from hitting the floor many times especially in areas where you don't have tons of space.

    Real Meucci original vs new Meucci original

    Differences There are only a few of the newer models with original in the name. If you want to get technical you can check the weight bolt. They have changed from the original ones to the new models. The rubber butt bumper/stop is also a little different in size. If it comes with a Red dot...

    That's fine but there are times when the winning player may have made one 8 ball and had several games won by default, then what?

    That default match control of the LO makes sense but I don't think all league operators use it. That's why you still can see fast movement sometimes when E8, 8S, 8WP or 8OB occur on players with lower skill levels.

    who has the best stroke in the world ?

    Definitely Efren. I've watched him shoot many times at his sister's place in Mabalacat. Not as many as Cesar but still quite a few...No one would play him, he was just hitting balls around. He could do anything he wanted to do. Forget about his bridge, his follow through, etc.. The final result...

    Need info on old Meucci cue

    The picture posted is from the brochure of the summer of 1995. The SE-6, SE-7, 95-26 (new version of M16/Giant Killer) and the WS-2. So it can't be 1998 when the 95-26 and the SE-6 came out in late 1994/early 1995. It is a WS-2, when I got the cue stick last year I did a lot of research to find...

    Things like me winning in X innings but my opponent scratched on the 8, made an early 8 or put the 8 in the wrong pocket should matter as it says nothing about my performance. Thus a win like that should be completely ignored by the system. I do not believe it is though as I have seen 2/3 get...

    new pt system Although it may discourage sandbagging in some ways. Sandbaggers don't want to get shut out (give up 3 points) It certainly does make the importance of having strong lower skilled players on a team. It's difficult in the new system for a 5, 6 or 7 to shut out an opponent of equal...

    pro's Not true. It depends on how you define a pro. Many players in the APA have competed and won prize money at professional tournaments (Joss or others) They may not be ranked in the top 20 but they are pros. They can, have competed at the professional level and have been successful. Maybe...

    Consistency of APA Ratings

    Whatever any of my players plays a higher ranked player I encourage them not to open balls up. Try to turn the game into a thinking defensive game. Don't give the higher ranked player (probably a better shooter) the opportunity to play to his strength.

    Consistency of APA Ratings

    Unfortunately it's a money league. Some leagues pay more than $10 a night per player. If you are a captain of a team it's not about being macho "my strongest beat your strongest", it's about winning for the team. It's everyone's money, your deciding and playing for your team. Strategy is...

    Consistency of APA Ratings

    It's true marking defensive shots is a real problem. League operators should penalize teams that don't mark defensive shots. It's also a disadvantage to your own team if your team Is the only team in the league marking every defensive shot just because you want to do the right thing!! I'm not...

    So how is winning percentage calculated into innings per game minus the defensive shots in order to determine the actual skill level? Anyone....
