I've been to Vegas an I was pleasantly surprised that the handicaps from around the country were pretty similar. Again the biggest discrepancies were in the 3's. Although a lot of them were being watched. The 3's in Vegas are equivalent to the high 4's in our area. The semi pro 7's are also a...

I agree with you. I'm a 7 also an in my 2 leagues most of the other 7's are really national 6's (B players as you call them). I'm never concerned with innings because I won't go down an I can't go up. It doesn't make sense that pro or semi pro players are also the same rank. I understand the...

I've seen many 7's in several leagues that have been 7's for many years and never go down. I've questioned the league operator about this and he has said the player informed him that they didn't want to go down. I had no idea that this was allowed but that's the system. The league operator can...

There are no rules in any 8 ball league that states how many times anyone can shoot any shot whether it be a safety or any other shot.

If there is no referee, both players should discuss it and agree to a re-rack with the original person breaking to break again. I've done this and have intervened with my players and the other team to re-rack. It's better for everyone. As long as it's agreed by both sides. There is no 3 foul...

I didn't hear much about the BK3 but it's very clear that the majority of the people carry a break cue. Obviously proper aim and technique is of utmost importance. I'm sure we all have on occasion had great breaks with the proper weighed house cue. Several breaks cue were endorsed numerous...

Mattb, you are definitely correct. I don't believe the system really adjust for 7, 8 or 9 foot tables. If it does it's too much work for the league operators. Since everything is hidden there will never be anyway for anyone to know. In our league some tables are 7 foot, some are 8 foot. The...

It's very clear in the rule book. Someone must miss before the inning ends.

Oh I've considered that thought many times. If I do keep it I'd concentrate on finding the correct weight to do the most damage. That's another tricky thing to determine.

I guess it's the twisting of doing it thousands of times with a lot of force. Probably some cartilage between the vertebrae worn out. I don't think the body was intended for that much repetition with force.

It's an opinion. Everyone has one. I'm curious what the consensus is. If you ask 1000 people about cars and a majority say Toyota, it means something.

I'm curious what is the consensus on the best break cues (at least top 3 or 4). I know a majority of the serious players carry a break cue in their case. Jumping doesn't matter to me because I have a torn labrum in my shoulder (it hurts to jump). I feel nothing when shooting. It's hard to say...

It's definitely a 95-9 with a finished wrap. All Meucci have wraps, most are coated/finished. Over time as they wear out you can feel and see the linen coming through.

I've played with Meucci original shafts for 25 years. Your muscle memory adjust to all the deflection and if you can master it, you get unbelievable movement. In the days when felt was much slower, it was ideal. Anyone who played or plays with an old Meucci original shaft knows what I mean. The...

Big difference between Porper and Pointer.... I wish Porper made high end leather cases. No, it's definitely Pointer. I imagine it must be from a European country. If I figure out how to post pictures, I'll post it.

I was born and grew up in upstate NY but I lived, worked and played (almost everyday) in the Philippines for many years. I always used Meucci's (circa late 80's/early 90's) 85-95 degree heat with very high humidity year round. My cues always stayed in the back seat (covered) or in the trunk...

Has anyone ever heard of a Pointer case. The brand is Pointer. It's leather, constructed very well. It looks high end but I have no idea where or what country it was manufactured in. I bought this case used a few months ago but I've never heard of the name.

I used to swear by the old LePro. Now it seems the LePro mushroom awfully fast. Same story, quality has gone down.

Efren has used these forever because they were always available in the Philippines. He always had them compressed hard in a vise before using them.

Celophanewrap, It sounds very interesting what you wrote about applied score. Where did you get the information that the "book says"... What book? I follow everything you wrote except 23 innings, software notices your a 5 S/L Your 23 innings then becomes 16 (did you mean 18?). Thank you for your...
