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

    Beat or Match Mosconi's 526 at the BCAPL Nationals Win Cash!

    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.

    4.0 continuous - You can run a 100+

    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.

    4.0 continuous - You can run a 100+

    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.

    4.0 continuous - You can run a 100+

    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...

    My First 14.1 League match

    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...

    My First 14.1 League match

    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...

    My First 14.1 League match

    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...

    My First 14.1 League match

    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 Did The BCA Drop The Traditional Rack?

    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...
