    advice for hitting this draw shot?

    If I remember correctly it's something Nick Varner taught him or maybe it was Mosconi. They were very close you know. BTW, at times physics ceases to exist on 007's pool table. As long as you jack up slightly and hit where he says then the CB will stop. Speed and distance don't matter.

    My scratch % is high on this break...

    You can't tell much about the angle by any of your pics. Take a pic from the top of the table that includes the CB, the left side pocket, the entire rack and the left bottom pocket. Off hand, from what I can see, I'd probably shoot this with top right. If you do that and scratch in the bottom...

    Not about to argue but I saw some of the video and it sure looked that way.

    Pocket Facing Angles - Why Not Parallel?

    Somebody should tell BC. He had them the opposite on the table for Shaws run.

    Face square?

    You're relatively new here so may not be aware of situations that have happened over and over again involving Billiards About. To get some idea of what we're dealing with here I'd suggest you go back and look at some of the threads on the instructors forum in which he's been involved. Go back a...

    2022 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    You're getting there. Go back and compare this run with the 8ball ghost video you posted. I think you'll note that your position in the 77 is rather sloppy compared to the 8ball. Offhand I'd say you only had 2 position errors in the 8ball neither of which were terrible. Start bringing the same...

    American 14.1 Straight Pool Championship (Oct 24-29), Norfolk, Winner $10K

    There were 2 prolonged safety battles and Jungo won both of them despite starting out at a disadvantage in both of them. He played superb pool all week. Everyone thought he'd get run over in the finals. I didn't. I watched this guy all week and he was extremely impressive. He ran over Ouschan in...

    He did the same thing tonight as Souquet was running out. Good call about Lee Stu. He's playing some unbelievable straight pool.

    Interesting discussion during the Pagulayan vs De Luna match at the American 14.1 championships

    It was stated by Karl in the players meeting that catching the CB as it's about to scratch would result in a 15 pt. penalty. It happened yesterday on the table adjacent to the stream table which he was refereeing. He saw it and rushed right over. IMO he's a good referee but tends to get too...

    American 14.1 Straight Pool Championship (Oct 24-29), Norfolk, Winner $10K

    Kind of strange because Karl called an unsportsmanlike foul yesterday and penalized the player 15 pts. but did not call for a rerack. ???

    American 14.1 Straight Pool Championship (Oct 24-29), Norfolk, Winner $10K

    I watched DeLuna play 9B once and swore I'd never watch him again. When he has to decide which ball to shoot he's 10 times worse. It would be great if someone could talk Peter into having a shot clock for the semis and final. Maybe 45 seconds with 3 two minute extensions per match. It's $1000...

    Stance Advice for Very Tall Player

    Take a look at Ruslan. He's almost that tall. Doesn't seem to use an overly long cue either.

    14.1 World Records on video

    This comparison is flawed due to the fact that JS was playing on a more difficult table than the rest of them.
