He carried the tables AND the dolly on his back! Wow!

Just ball in hand. Taking an intentional foul is a legal strategy.

It’s in your head. Kind of. Valley tables are easier because they have bigger and more forgiving pockets. They are tougher because in a bar league the rails can be dead, balls can be different sizes, cue ball can be a different size or weight and the rails play completely differently than...

There are lots of old threads devoted to it. On equipment with bigger pockets there is less congestion and ball pocketing is easy. 8-ball on a big table with big pockets is about the easiest game there is. I think it's much easier than 8-ball on a bar table with big pockets in terms of...

But if a 9’ table is harder (debatable) then you would have a lower Fargo rate on a 9’ table. And so would your opponent. So why does it matter? Fargo is a relative handicap, not an absolute.

Table is the same for both players. So is the game. So relative skill should be the same no matter where they play. There are folks who only play bar box and whose. Game would suffer on a 9’ table but they normally adjust pretty quickly. If you had a guy who plays 650 on a bar box but...

of course I'm kidding... :)

No. They are doing a tournament at CA Billiards starting Friday. https://www.povpool.com/pov-x-10-years/

I agree. This is my favorite of Bob’s cues and I have one and it plays great! If I wasn’t in a squeeze right now I would have jumped on this.

I had trouble with leaving my cue in the car. It got super hot, 109F (Denver back before the latest round of global cooling) and the stain melted and ran off the cue leaving a weird pattern. And it warped. I took it to showcase billiards and Clay would not believe that I didn't get it wet...

I went to a teensy town to play a local bar table tournament in Missouri. It was a decent entry and about 5 hours from my house so I thought it would be a fun road trip. Of course I drew Darren first and was introduced to how pool is played in small town Missouri! I lost and then went to...

Shocked to hear about this. I had no idea he was battling cancer. Very sad news. The pool community suffered a big loss.

It's funny and I know I've mentioned it on here before but I tried to mimic Busty's style one time just to try and see what he is looking at. I couldn't figure it out but damned if I didn't start making balls like crazy! And with all kinds of english. It was a lot of fun and sometimes I do it...

I don’t think so. I think the ‘dead‘ CB just means ‘reverse’ English when it hits the rail So it appears to deaden the rebound.

I could very easily have it wrong but the ‘touch’ is a subjective amount that increases the further you are away from the reference point (1/8) fractions as Phreaticus mentions. You have the same alignment for all shots in the same reference point but parallel shift to cause deflection to...

Do you know the system Patrick? I’m not sure I do and I don’t want to go into it in too much detail because I don’t want to give away CJs work. From what I found it’s NOT just using a little inside for everything and relying on that familiar vision and ball behavior to improve your game. There...

L Forward them all to me and I'll ignore them for you. :)

You make the shot aiming COB to CCB and then use deflection from inside english to make the ball. So in order to make the ball you have to visualize how much deflection you'll get from different tip offsets and choose the right amount of offset to generate the deflection you want. You also...

No. That's not correct. It helps you visualize deflection for all tip offsets and all english.
