    How many balls (14.1)should an a,b, and c player run?

    The jump in runs mirrors the jump in consistency of pocketing. The intermediate/beginner players are all inconsistent. When you get into the B's and then A's you start seeing better skill level in all aspects. There's a saying to paraphrase - "If you can run two racks you can run ten". The...

    Inside VS Outside

    Because inside english means you're on the wrong side of the ball. Since good position play assumes the cb rolls naturally off the angle to the next shot, outside english is the natural spin off the ob. In fact Mike Sigel suggests a tad of outside on every shot so that the cb rolls off the ob...

    How many balls (14.1)should an a,b, and c player run?

    Rankings (9ball or 14.1) are generally vague, but based on an overall feel for a player's game, I have seen high runs generally in this grouping. D...teens C...30s B...50s A...90s OPEN...150 > PRO...220 TOP PRO...300>

    can someone explain Joss cues. some are expensive, some aren't. the letter styles?

    Sellers are going to try and get as much out of their sale as possible, so some sell high. Joss is a very mediocre cue. Are you thinking of "Joss West"? It's higher end.

    Extreme Outside English - Do you use it?

    When it's needed, it's needed. There are an infinite number of reasons to use extreme english just as there are an infinite number of shots to play in any given time. There's no point in listing them.

    Gender Inequality (?)

    Not to be argumentative but I guess I will be LOL :wink: If you're asking members about thoughts on Jeannie, then they already know about her and hence the wiki is not needed. People who don't know her and need a wiki could never answer you. :grin-square: Sorry, I'm just being a pain, I know.

    Can you be too smart to play good pool?

    Here's why you SHOULD be smart to play good pool. Because pool is a game studied between shots. It is not a reactive game. You play the smart shot. Do you see the top players making stupid decisions? Efren? Earl? The further down on the food chain of pool, the stupid-er the decision are.

    Gender Inequality (?)

    This is pointless because all you have to do is look around you. I've seen local players bounce Allison Fisher and Jeanette Lee like they were B players. Jeannie Balukas notwithstanding, you're not see the forest through the trees. If you want to run with your argument you'll have to site MANY...

    Can you be too smart to play good pool?

    They are saying that because the hard core players are too dumb to do anything else. In my day, and as I have seen in general, the "good" hard core players start out as teenagers and quit school to do it. There is an element of sloth mixed into the recipe. It becomes a chicken egg thing.

    You're not saying anything new that hasn't been common knowledge since the day she started. Even Ewa wasn't too kind about her game.

    * un·scru·pu·lous eBay Seller

    Well, some dummy is buying them. One would think that anyone who's willing to spend over $500 would do his homework. Flag it on ebay and see if they do anything about it...if they don't then ebay deems that it falls on the buyer.

    Solution to Supporting Pro Pool

    Your first mistake is assuming the pros have any business sense whatsoever. Second, as has been demonstrated countless of times in the history of pool, the players are their own worst enemy. Your idea would never fly. That is the problem with ANY solution that relies on the pro player as an...

    Turning Shafts

    Shafts are turned in order to change their structure. It could be to make them thinner, it could be to change their taper. That will affect the quality of the hit, but it WON'T necessarily make the hit "better" because "better" could mean many things to many people. However you are shaving off...
