    Mosconi cup pockets

    The slate looks custom for short shelfs because my shelfs are way longer and I had custom 4 1/4" rails. Oh these are Rasson tables...well here is the proof.

    Mosconi cup pockets

    This ball dropped??? Are you kidding me??? He even put right hand english on the cueball ball because the 7 ball was covering the left side. You can see it throw the 6 ball to the left which is why he hit the point, but more importantly this transferred left english to the 6 ball, so was...

    Mosconi cup pockets

    There looks to be little or no shelf...and look how concave the facing angles are. Has any ball rattled yet at all? On my home table I have 4 1/4" pockets but there is only about a finger tips width between the end of the shelf and the remaining facing angle...these pockets look like you could...

    Mosconi cup

    4" or 4 1/4"? imo 4" takes away the flow of the game...this is going to start looking like chinese 8 ball if they keep going. They must be shallow shelves because I have seen shots drop that would never drop on my table.

    Tired of hearing how straight pool is the best game

    That run was faster than Luc Salvas, the fastest player in the world. What's your claim to fame? (that 6 ball should have dropped being as it was pocket speed.)

    Tired of hearing how straight pool is the best game

    Other way around. We know its hard for you to get position on a specific ball, so let's create a game where you can shoot any ball you want. You have players running into the hundreds regularly...there is no creativity, its just recognizing problems and patterns...its autopilot. Probably 99% of...

    oh great "railbird"....so where has it been discussed and why can't you just answer the question instead of spewing out useless fanboy dribble?

    Mosconi cup

    SVB straightens his arm at the moment of contact. Still it causes him some bad misses. Basically he overcomes his bad fundamentals by sheer table hours. Keith Mcready was back when the tables had buckets, in a time when the talent pool was thin. Sanchez Ruiz shows promise but needs to lesson his...

    What size pockets are they playing on? They should mention that or have a graphic telling the pocket dimensions.

    Pool is dying as is, why make it worse by turning it private?

    Soft breaking and pattern racking.

    Mosconi cup

    Earl is the only us player I could name...other than Shane. On the European side its Shaw. The best player of the bunch is Shaw no doubt. Compared to Thorston, Efren, Mika, Neils? of the 90's?? lol please. Different class entirely...like professional versus local league players. The problem was...

    Double jeopardy!

    We need new games. I'm trying one called double jeopardy. You rack 1-5 x2 (double jeopardy!) you can add more balls for more difficulty. so 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5 The object is to run 1-5 but you get to pick which 1,2,3,4,5 while you are running out. When/if you miss your opponent will take over...

    Tired of hearing how straight pool is the best game

    It's the worst game for developing your game imo. This goes for one pocket, bank pool whatever. All top 9 ball players have become the top straight pool, banks, and one pocket players where before there were players who specialized in these games...ie frost, schmidt. Now the top players are the...

    Mosconi cup

    First of all, other than Earl the early pool players (before the 90's) were garbage. Efren proved that. Secondly, Europe didn't play "american pool" but look how quickly they caught up? Why? Because the usa players fundamentally speaking were garbage. Thirdly, a world cup with teams...not usa...

    Using too much inside English??

    This makes no sense to me...why be an incomplete player. What are you going to do when you need to reverse english 3 rail shape? It's like a soccer player with no left foot (or right) lol...not a complete player.

    Using too much inside English??

    ok keep playing at a 500 level and wonder why you don't improve.

    Using too much inside English??

    Centerball is a theoretical impossibility. Also, you use whatever english you need to get the shot...you don't force centerball to emulate what a little bit of lefts or rights can do more effectively. Anyway, you aren't really using more centerball...you are playing less english with a little...
