    Alignment or aim?

    I see we have some different definitions of these words lol. For the purposes of this response, the definitions I'm going with are: aim: where I want to hit the OB. alignment: how well I arrange my setup on the shot line to deliver the CB where I want (to my aim point). A quick check to see...

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    Slow, yes, but ridiculously slow is a bit much. I played a rack with a snooker player where everyone knew he was out as soon as he broke. That rack took closer to 10min than 5min. That was ridiculously slow. When it's so bad that you start wondering if the pace is just a sharking tactic...

    Playing Under the Influence

    Guys yelling buy and sell are paid to do it at the wrong times to mislead normies. That said, cannabis had a nice hype bubble with everyone piling in before legalization and then it's been a few years of a selloff. They in accumulation now tho. Aurora got as high as 1200 and was about...

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    One way to improve pace of play if decision making is at the root of it as you say is simply to study the table and look at your options while your opponent is at the table. Identifying connected balls, problems and their potential solutions can often be done in the chair. Even if balls are...

    Fargo rating curve compared to golf handicap?

    I'm surprised such a high percentage of golfers are 10hcp or better (34%). In general I think too high a percentage is reported at single digit handicaps.... 20% are 7hcp or better. 10% are 4.9hcp or better. 5% are 2hcp or better. Then again, only official handicaps are counted and better...

    Fargo rating curve compared to golf handicap?

    I like your comparisons at the top end. But there is just no way a 500-550 is an 'average league player'. Most league players never sniff 500. There are 6s below 500 for life. 7s start around 550 in most areas no? I would guess that your below avg leage player estimated fargo would...

    how are ya'll doing in league ?

    ye but what he wrote is he has to win 5-1. Which is true of a 5-2 race, tho confusing to see written that way.

    TECHNICAL QUESTION

    I can't come up for a good reason either but can confirm that watching pros take on these close lil nudge shots, they tend to hit with inside and commentators will even sometimes predict that use of english in their commentary. It's like that open table cut into the side with no cushion...

    Bucket list

    One ivory ball may not sell for 1k but as part of a full set, you might get 2k a ball imo. There was actually a thread on ivory balls cpl years ago. Bob Jewett in post 14 estimates 25-30k for a full set in good condition and lays out his reasoning...

    head position question

    There's been a thread on this square face before. At least one. You can search them up and see a bunch of answers to your question. I think the gist of it is that ideally we want to be square so we have as little distortions in sighting as possible, but if it is a choice between super ideal...

    Back pain while playing

    Like I said, no two back pains are the same. Anything muscle related, it helps a ton. I also have a bulging vertabrae that leads to nerve pain as well as muscle strains if I don't move just right. The weed doesn't fix the disc, no doubt. But it is great for pain, inflamation, and as a...

    Back pain while playing

    For you. For me, it's the best thing by far. Specifically the 'dead lights' high cbd strain. Even when I share it with friends on the golf course I hear things like 'this is like wd40 for your joints'. Also, cbd is lab proven to be 20x as effective as advil for inflamation. Not...

    Shanes Glove

    I know he had a Molinari for a bit, not sure if that is still what he uses. Related to gloves so I will piggy back here.... any place sell XXL gloves? It's hard enough to hunt down an XL so I'd be grateful to get pointed in the right direction as humid summer season is coming and I will need a...

    Bucket list

    Makes perfect sense. I mean, why keep too small pool balls on a shelf for decoration, when you can shave em down into snooker balls and get top $ for em?

    Question about cue extensions

    Best would be to see if there's a supplier near you to try some out. The various lengths/weights and placements (joint vs butt cap) will affect the balance and playability of your cue differently and you may find you have a rather strong preference for one over another as I did. A 5inch joint...

    Back pain while playing

    You are quite right that different types do different things. I found a high cbd strain called 'dead lights' that is great for me so I grow it myself (it's legal here so I can say that). But some of the superhero weed from dispensaries I've tried with friends has very much the same effect on...
