    "Mighty X" ... This isn't ringing any bells in my head. Have any more information available?

    Rotation game scoring for weak players

    The APA does their 9-ball scoring like that - it's how they handle the handicapping. As far as handicaps go, I really like it. Making the 9 doesn't mean anything other than 2 points - 1 point for every other ball. Racks doesn't mean anything. First player to get to their designated number of...

    WPBA Event in Oregon ~ Why Not Stream?

    Right before they hit a brick wall last year sometime I think it was, they had a deal with one of the streamers (pooldawg was handling it, i think?). I was pretty excited about that. Now though, it's all dead. And this is sad. I'm *hoping* that ESPN will be filming the quarter finals out at...

    New break rule thought?

    I'm pretty sure Accu-Stats had this rule in place for one of their events recently... If I had more time, I'd go look up, but I'd bet it was for something done earlier this year. ... "Pro Arena Rules", I think they were called?

    Sharks episode 19

    I, too, would be more than willing to pay $10 once a month for this to happen. I'm planning on buying the bonus ball ppv's just because i want to see it succeed. i probably wont watch all of it, but if i can, i'll have access - and hopefully it'll go to help support the...

    Smoking • U.S. Open 9 Ball Champion

    It's been almost 6 months since the last "smokers are evil, nasty, hustlers, trying to shark everyone, lets run them out of town" thread ... guess it was time. For the record, I am a smoker - and I support NOT smoking in a pool room. I just don't see why we need to have the same 5 arguments...

    efren magic

    Human or not, that's a great shot... because it went. if he has bobbled it, how awesome would it have been? Regardless - you know everyone here is going to try that and add it to their bag of tricks. ;) I know I am. heh

    I finally caught a break and run on video Friday. :) Still had a couple of flukes, but a run is a run, thanks 9-ball! heh http://youtu.be/LyDZEtxQ8zQ

    Post your runouts

    Here's an older vid, first rack, after some safeties, I take on a 1-9 carom, then the next rack, my opponent breaks dry (it's alternate break in this league), and I run out from there. Got some fortunate angles on the caroms, but it all works. http://youtu.be/QEElqPfcQVo Haven't posted videos...

    US Open question; Alex vs SVB

    I was watching that too... and I would've bet money the 7 moved; but no one called it. So I'm guessing it was just a visual weirdness that sometimes happens when the cueball flies over a darker colored ball. Shane didn't call it - no ref - nothing from the commentators; must have been my eyes...

    $100 Challenge Rack 5!

    Man, this is ... a nightmare. I can see maybe trying to move the 14 and/or the 10 off the rail from the shot on the 1, but getting a shot at the 2 is questionable. Other than that, this will be a whole lot of "poke and pray" to try and move those balls into makeable positions later in the...

    Bonus Ball Match - Team USA vs Team Canada - Full Match Video

    I watched this over the weekend and it was a lot of fun. At first keeping track of the pockets to "predict" the pattern was troublesome, but by the end, I wasn't even thinking about it. :) I'm looking forward to the week of (free) PPV coming up! :) (I'll probably buy all the PPV's anyway, but...

    Accu-stats PPV on mobile devices

    I'm watching the stream right now on my droid... I received a system update just the other day.. but I've had ice cream sandwich for a few months now. I also am using the Dolphin browser this time (but had previously always used the default browser).

    Shot Pad

    I didn't find an app that had drills in it... (for the android) but I did find the diagramming tool. :) I can save the layout to my phone (which then makes it easy to post to twitter/facebook/email).

    Back Pocket 9 Ball...Is Anyone Playing???

    hrmmm... interesting concept. I still wont try you any with that game though. :p I'll pull up a chair and observe though. It sounds kinda like last-pocket 8-ball; which is interesting.

    Break velocity

    I'm not an instructor, by any means, but I like to think I've studied the h*ll out of the fundamentals and what the instructors here offer; and this: ...with a short, quick backstroke. has never, that I can ever recall, been promoted as a good idea or a suggestion by anyone. Furthermore, I...

    APA sudden death all the time

    In my local APA double-jeopardy league, we have two tables, one for 8-ball and 9-ball and play simultaneously. We start at 7:30... and usually we still dont get done until close to midnight or later. In the Masters league we start at 6 and usually only have 1 table per match available; but...
