Half the time I feel like he must be a comedic puppet account but then the questions of who & why and some occasional other stuff makes me wonder. I thought for a while that English just wasn’t his first language. I’ve been learning Spanish and talk to people whenever I can and a lot of the...

I started playing pool when I randomly bought a used table. I wanted to get decent at the game before playing anyone else so I spent tons of time practicing alone. I did build up my skills but what got me the most when I first went to play real people was that I had to freakin wait while they...

Good playing shuddy. What happened with that 9 ball around 5:15? ; ) I hate those misses. Everything looked good, stance and stroke and all and the hit sounded good and it just didn’t go. Maybe that’s a true aiming miss

A combo specifically or any early niner? I’ll make a completely unsubstantiated claim of 4.5% of all nein ball racks being won by early 9. 2.0% intentional combo 1.5% intentional billiard or carom 1.0% accidental making of the 9 through legal means

I don’t know about all this back and forth drama repeat each day. Pictures can be deceiving as we all know and have been shown examples, and people can be stubborn af. Myself included of course. I would, and have, cut off my nose to spite my face. In the shoes of BC or L I would probably not...

Yes a lot of America has been nurfed and made ‘safe’ and comfortable for all. Our homeless folks have it better than a lot of people in the world. It’s a shock when you first get out into the other real world. It’s a beautiful and dangerous place by and large. You have to decide between...

True, I was thinking more of my level of play lol. I get tons of safety and multiple ball control practice when I’m trying to play well. I try to chohan it up too and have achieved marginal success from time to time.

I’d have to add that 1P really focuses on safety play. Basically every shot is a safe, or at least a shot where you’re controlling CB and 1+ object balls, often without shooting for your pocket. The underlying safety strategy in 1P is completely different than a rotation based game but the...

This reminded me of 7 ball. BIH for missing unless you called safe, which you only could do once a rack. At least in one version of 7 ball I saw on espn Someone sometime made up a game called one pocket that was likely scorned by Egyptian royalty or whoever but it’s still kickin. This doesn’t...

Making up new games can be dificil. I came up with a version of 8 ball I called Even 8 Ball. I liked it and had forgotten about it until now. If you make multiple balls on the break which do you go off of or is it a choice based on what the table looks like? I’d have to play through a bunch...

The ghost is an absolute killer. I remember first reading about the idea and thinking “with ball in hand after the break this will be too easy” 🤣🤣 I got humbled quickly with multiple 1-7 or 0-7 losses. It’s easy to forget those times you play a safe or just barley miss a ball during a run and...

Oi! Let’s see them calipers BB. And yes yes congrats on beautiful freakin tables. I’m jealous of course

The balls had metal cores and there was a midget under the table with a magnet and an ear piece. That was one of the wilder theories until a restaurant employee near Easy Street found broken up pool table slate and wood in a dumpster with grid lines drawn on them and a series of letters and...

You can play the ghost in anything. And you can play the pro ghost which means you don’t take BIH after the break. The best I ever did was lose a hill/hill match with the pro 9b ghost to 7. Usually I’d lose that game 7-1/2/3 Sometimes 7-0 lol. Occasionally I’d get closer but only occasionally...

Awesome. Pretty tight standards and the older ones seem to have held up real well. Im’a weigh my balls now On the Hyperion 6 & 7 ball you’ve got 186g each. Is that a typo?

I suppose we should draw attention to player #2’s first seen attempt on the 8 ball. Why the hell didn’t he just back cut it? I couldn’t decide what game they were playing. I figured it must be Last pocket or Bank the 8 but later in the game it became obvious they were not playing either of the...

Harsh on the poor guy! I got chlamydia twice from the same chick 🤣. About a year apart too...wonder if she had it the whole time? I Couldn’t help myself of course as I’m half caveman and she was ridiculously pretty. She actually died between the time I saw her last and when I went to the doctors...

Center pocket in Bowie MD. If you ever come to the middle east let me know, I’ll fund your travels a little bit 😎. I did go with the 3/4 railer but messed it up the first try. Luckily I was playing pocket pool with myself and got a re-do. That’s still the shot I’d take but I was curious what...

Scary G, there was only me in this game playing both sides. No shenanigans on the break unless by accident. The table doesn’t have a line coming down from the spot to make sure the back middle ball lines up (I wish ever table had this, it makes things so much easier) but I’m pretty careful to...
