Also the shadows by the top corners need to be fixed. They still show where the pocket opening is.

That cue is not regulation length. Bet it can't even draw the cueball. Its Fargorate is too low. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just had a thought. How about a rule where the opponent racks and if you don't like it you can pass the break to him, but he cannot touch it after you decide to pass? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Pool would make a better Olympic event than golf, if the intention is to bring the best the world has to offer together to truly compete. Golf will just end up like hockey after they started allowing pros to play. The US sent a dream team of pros who promptly partied it up and got their asses...

That's the problem. The Billiards Congress of America has published a set of rules (which are basically identical to WPA rules) but the BCA Pool League (BCAPL) uses the rules published by Cue Sports International which differ in a few key ways including the touch foul rule. Sent from my iPod...

Answer BCAPL is cue ball only fouls. No foul. Opponent has option to restore position of moved ball. BCA on the other hand mirrors WPA rules. Touched ball is foul. So the answer to your rules question is "it depends on the rules."

I don't think he makes them regularly. Anyone you find is going to be one that was a special order. When I lived in Colorado Springs I knew a few who had 60+ in cues by him but they were all one-off customs. Even then (17 yrs ago) it was 12+ months from order/design to delivery. Sent from my...

Somebody pleas check my math. 16 games times a max of 8 balls per game is only 128 balls. So the only way to get to 128 would be to win all 16 games? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sure he can finish from anywhere but have you seen his break, gives up ball in hand every time.

Better yet, lay your cue down on the table on the side your opponent prefers to break from and "accidentally" nudge the cue ball that they have carefully placed when you pick it up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The original poster wanted to know what were the odds if he decided to have the absent player draw first or last. At the moment the TD makes that decision, which should be before any positions are drawn, the odds are exactly equal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Odds are exactly the same first or last. Think of the draw as a stack of 18 cards with 4 red and 14 black cards. Now shuffle them the four reds are where they are and the distribution of the other cards don't change as you take cards off the top. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For the last week or two my break hasn't worked at all and jumping has been for naught. Should have known this was coming but I just had a rapid unscheduled tip/shaft separation. Can't even find the little bugger. Anyone know how to get a Samsara jump/break tip to last more than a few months?

My Kikel Custom. After I got my first decent tournament payout, $450 way back in 1997, I dropped the whole roll as a down payment on this beauty. It's no longer my daily player but it will always hold its spot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Link http://bca-pool.com/general/custom.asp?page=55 Excerpt below. 3.26 ILLEGAL JUMPING OF BALL It is a foul if a player strikes the cue ball below center (“digs under” or “lofts” the cue ball) and intentionally causes it to rise off the bed of the table in an effort to clear an...

If you have the butt raised then it's possible to hit below the equator and have the resultant force on the ball, even when accounting for deflection, be down into the table. As long as the natural pivot point is higher than center ball I think the force ends up being downward. The foul comes...

JA not doing so well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Depends on the players. Max 15 sets times say 90 min to 2 hours per set gets you 23 to 30 hours. So say 2 to 3 days of play. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not even an extra ball, just shooting the black rather than that one pink. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry you're thinking British blackball, who also use snooker style pockets. The Dutch, at least in the south where I lived, use 57mm/2.25 inch balls with angular cut pockets, just really small. The rules book is here...
