The only game I can think of is 8ball. Tapping behind a ball on the rail comes up a lot. When it freezes, it's usually easy to adjust for but the novices could screw it up, usually because they're unfamiliar. And yes, it's not common on new equipment.

I just want to know what silly hands look like.

I think it's worthy of consideration. The frozen rules are a bit excessive in most circumstances and confusing. It seems more important to novices taking advantage of other novices. Amongst higher ranks, I'd say it's called far less often. Then again, I don't play 1hole.

So, you're telling me, if a ball is called frozen in 1hole, play gets defensive and the game goes on for 30 minutes and then both players must remember that the ball was ruled frozen still? I don't have time now to do the research but that doesn't sound right either.

Because it's listed as illegal. Legal hit but the cue-ball was pocketed off screen. http://billiards.colostate.edu/resources/referee_quiz_answer_sheet.pdf

I just took it. I got 85%. When I have some time, I'm going to go back and look at the 15 I got wrong and see what I missed. #29 is bullshit. Nobody would get this wrong in real life. The only reason you'd get this wrong is because it's a video. As well, there are a couple others I got...

Yes, you make an excellent point and I was once in an argument over something like that once. Once you declare a ball frozen, that declaration expires after the very next shot. If you wish that ball to have frozen properties again, you must go through the same process as before and call it...

I would venture to guess, in the last 10 times either me or my opponents have called a ball frozen, closer examination has proven otherwise at least 6 times. Regardless of your personal success rate, it's important to have that conversation and actually declare a ball frozen. Oftentimes, it's not.

And this is why it's important to understand etiquette. The last thing I would want is for action to quit me because I sharked them. Lol, I wouldn't be telling them to grow-up, that's for sure.

Yeah, Jason is riding both sides of the fence on this. He would never do this but he thinks nobody should complain about those that do.

Yeah, I think everybody here now knows your opinion. You have no respect for etiquette, we get it.

I'm actually surprised that there is so much discussion over this. This isn't about what you would endure as the shooter. This is about how you should behave in the chair. Yes, shifting around in your seat, picking up your cue, scuffing your tip, grabbing your water, checking to see if balls...

During my gambling days, moving around at all was frowned upon. I once heard of a guy that reached for his water while his opponent was shooting the 9. The guy missed and proceeded to chuck balls at him from across the room. I mean, in my opinion, what you did is no big deal but if you're...

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/championship I think Mark is great but honestly, he wouldn't be my first choice for grammar rules. I'm going to rely on Wikipedia and dictionary.com as a hair more reliable than Mr. Griffin and I hope he doesn't take offense.

I haven't seen the pics of his table but not all GCs come with scoring wheels. In fact, the Crown IV only had scoring wheels upon request. When Brunswick designed the IV, their goal was to be as flush to the rail as possible and decided the wheels hindered this.

Sorry for being redundant here but you can clamp rods on the chains pretty easily. The advantage to using rods here is, you're not messing with the integrity of your light fixture since you don't have to get the rods tight. Just go to Home Depot with a bead on hand and find a rod that's thin...

Interestingly, I just googled it and no, the correct usage here is the plural. Nice question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Championship

I guess it's personal preference at this point but those little hangey-down dealies sometimes fall off. That's why I recommend alternating those beads too.

Yeah, rods look neater, they're easier to install and they're easier for players to use. With wires, you have to worry about slack and too much could make the beads useless. With rods, you install them one good time and never worry about them again.

5 1/2 feet from the wall sounds like just enough. You really shouldn't go any tighter. 7 feet between tables is more than enough. In fact, you can go as little as 4 1/2 feet but that will cause a bit of congestion when both tables are in use (you might have your neighbor's butt on your table...
