After seeing Samiel's endorsement from a couple weeks ago, I have been in twice myself. Great place. Nice and clean.

Was video recorded and available on-line anywhere?

Exact date for Fast Eddies Tourney in San Antonio Lewis, Do you know the exact dates for the San Antonio tournament at the Embassy Oaks location?

Jack Koehler also describes a pocket difficulty formula in his Up Scale 9 Ball book that takes into account all three dimensions as well.

No worries. So what do your pockets measure point to point?

Your pockets didn't seem that tight when I stopped by. You're measuring from point to point where the rail changes direction? Or are you measuring the back of the pocket?

I checked it out Sunday before the Volcano's tournament. It is a nice place and the tables do play well.

Thanks. I think I'll do the same drill another time or two and then incorporate the break on a full rack. If the balls don't spread well I will move the balls to open up clusters then start shooting.

I did not break with a full rack. I just spread them out again. In fact, most of the time I didn't even shoot at the break ball.

I just ran a faux 168! I too thought that the theme of this thread was a great idea in that the focus is on running many balls to build concentration without worrying about clusters and break balls. Up to this point my highest "real" run was 50 in a league match. Since then, I've been...

More thumbs up for Capelle's Play Your Best Straight Pool.

Related story . . . I ran my first (handicapped) straight pool tournament for my fellow league players at the end of 2010 and did it again at the end of last year. I put a lot of time into designing a series of spreadsheets that would calculate the standings, win %, BPI, something I called...

Actually, my situation wasn't controversial at all. I just mentioned to him that it was an unsportsmanlike penalty and without a ref or prior experience with this type of foul that we should just treat it as a 1-point foul. I think he was flustered over his poor play. He hasn't been shooting...

I like your response to turn it into a teaching moment. Actually, this kid is in his early - mid 30s and is a strong player. I don't know exactly what his high run is, but I believe he told me that he ran into the 70s before. So, no doubt he has talent and plays well. I think it's just his...

So you are referring to the "serious-foul penalty" for this offense. When would the ref choose to use the "standard-foul penalty" under the unsportsmanlike conduct rule? The rule states different severity of penalties: standard, serious, loss of game/set/match, disqualified from tournament...

I was playing the son on the next table I wouldn't say that I saw the whole thing unfold, but I saw the racking of the balls with the house rack, then the racking of the balls with the personal rack, then Mike's warranted comment, then the throwing of the rack and the tossing of the cue ball up...

Why flawed? I've only been playing 14.1 for about 4 years and although I would rather play by the latest rules, I'm in a league that plays by the rules between 2000 - 2008 where you have the option after your opponent 3 fouls. My question is, why is having the option a bad thing? I...

I play in Volcanos Straight Pool League (VSPL) in Hurst, TX. It's an in-house league with three divisions: Mosconi: race-150, Crane: race-100, Mizerak: race-75.
