Their are weighs to get a hoarse to change it's spots. This isn't one of them. :)

What's wrong with intentional fouls in 14.1? You can't stalemate because if you have three consecutive fouls (intentional or otherwise), you lose 15 points (in addition to the three for each foul, so 18 total) and have to re-rack the balls.

Fair enough; we definitely have too many rule variations. As for the number of games, I liken a pool table to a deck of cards. There are a lot of different games you can play and each offers interesting game play options. I'm sure the snooker rules aren't really difficult. Unfortunately, I...

Odd rule... if you have a full-ball hit available, then the 3-foul rule comes into play. http://www.rulesofsnooker.com/understanding-the-three-miss-rule.html

That match was 4-5 years ago, wasn't it? Has he won anything major since then? I know he tied for second in an Accu-stats MIH event, though first place went to Darren. I think the 4-pocket-table match will be interesting for a few racks and I'd like to try it once. But a race to 75 is a bit...

I don't completely understand your question. Are you asking if it's sharking when an opponent sits quietly waiting for his turn!? :confused: As for me, it bugs me when people win 9- and 10-ball matches on-the-snap and then apologize for it.

Didn't you know everything when you were 18? To be fair, most 18 year olds are experiencing their first major life change. Everything they are used to (life at home, school with kids they've known their whole life, etc) is coming to an end. Now they are either entering the Service, going to...

A new NAPA session started about 5-6 weeks ago. It's my first session in almost a year. Last year at this time, I was playing two divisions, one was every wednesday and the other was a singles division where you had to coordinate with your opponent to play. The singles was kind of a mess...

Your entire argument is based on assumptions. "I'm pretty sure...", "most of you probably...", "chances are...". How about you start a poll that asks how much time people spend on fundamentals and then you could form an opinion based on fact instead of assumption?

Nope, I'm not overthinking anything.

Maybe for you. For me, I have a laundry list of things I need to work on. Top of the list: inconsistent fundamentals and poor speed control.

Sure but the reason we miss too many balls is different for each of us.

It makes for a boring conversation, but the real answer is that everyone is different and needs to critically examine their own game and identify their personal weaknesses and come up with a plan to improve. Some people will have crappy fundamentals, even after years of playing, and those bad...

I have a Gold Crown in a space that is way too small for it. Two load-bearing poles and a staircase get in the way; also the idiot installers put the bare minimum clearance on one end, even though there was plenty of space to move the table away from that wall. So if the cue ball is on the...

The shooter is wearing a vest and hipster driving hat. Every shot he takes is a foul. ;)

So I had two different responses written and deleted them both because in this case, I agree with two contradictory opinions on this: From the player's point of view, "I'm playing for my livelihood and need equipment in good shape; they replace baseballs every time they touch the ground!" From...

I have no horse in this race but here's how I will do it when I rule the world: * In rotation games and 8-ball, you can clean the ball between racks or after a foul (i.e., any time you can legally pick up the cue ball.) * In 14.1 you can clean the ball after a scratch or you can get an...

Which totally makes sense since you're not expecting anything in return for a gift.... right??? ;)

If it doesn't automatically come back, paypal has a way to dispute charges.

So a run-down poolroom with a manager who doesn't pay attention to customers coming in is saved with a new, more complicated variation of 8-ball? That's like saying a dirty restaurant with bad service was saved with a new meatloaf recipe.
