    America vs Rest of the World

    I am sure that has nothing whatsoever to do with their general inability to get funds/approval/visas to travel.

    Kentucky Rack Man US Open Summary

    But.. Matchroom events are not rack your own, are they? If not, what a terrible thing to wish upon him!

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Well, it ain't like he really had a choice, but to "accept it like a gentlemen". 1. He was dead money in this event, and knew it. 2. He's not gonna spit in the eye of the organization that is paying him to commentate, and actually doing something to bring more money for the players with a chance...

    Diamond Professional Table Delivery Times

    Yeah.. But then you'd be stuck with a Rasson, a table with limited resale value, as compared to a Diamond.

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    I could actually teach him a lot about gracefully accepting a called foul by my opponent in a tournament I am absolutely dead money in, as Scott was in this event. Or at least in how to not mouth off to my opponent, bringing the situation to the attention of the referee...

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Because the local tournaments he plays in AZ all adopt the local league rules. Just like everywhere else in USA.

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    It's not Americans so much, as Frost himself. I have had direct experience with playing him in the One Pocket, and he was a total arse when I played well on him. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind he'd play dumb if he felt himself touch the ball, and would never voluntarily give up ball in...

    America vs Rest of the World

    There is a LONNNNNNNNNNGG road between 700 and 800+. Reaching 700 is not "terribly" difficult when you are a teen with some innate physical talent and can practice 12 hours a day, every day during your summer break, and during any breaks from school, during the school year. If you have an easy...

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    The point is... It's not just "one" person. Hunter says he saw it. The_JV says he saw it. At least one other person in the crowd actively watching Scott's game says he saw it. The only reason that this is even a debate is that Americans have been playing by amateurish CB fouls only rules for...

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Oh? So you are calling The_JV a liar? Because he saw the entire incident front to back, says Hunter COULD see the foul, and says he saw it himself, in person.

    Chess clocks in pool

    He's got me on ignore, so he won't see this, but it just shows how out of touch he is. I am pretty sure these chess streams get way more viewers than pool streams. He is insistent on doing things the way they have always been done, that's led to pool almost dying in the vine in recent decades.

    Diamond table question

    Ahhh. So, if slate is level, no need to tighten them up?

    Nice. Give the 30 minutes per player a try, and keep track of how much pressure you feel as the set goes along. You'll need to make the race appropriate for skill level, to not have too little time, or too much. Maybe have a few peeps watching to judge whether it is fun to watch.

    How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

    Your intentional antagonizing of RKC aside, he is definitely one of the best billiard table mechanics in the U.S.. You might wanna consider not burning bridges. He has helped me out with specs and knowledge that he could have easily charged for, and all I had to do was ask. This whole thread is...

    Hunter v Frost, your stance?

    Which is what a lot of these old guys with their panties in a twist didn't even bother to read in the thread, or, they read it, and are just angry at the rolls life has given them, and are thrilled at the chance to target someone else to let out their frustration. /thread

    Chess clocks in pool

    The thing is, It isn't very likely to happen that they actually LOSE on time when 8-0. What IS more likely to happen is they are forced to rush shots, which will result in turnovers, which will make the match much more dramatic for viewers if player 2 gets a few more games due to these...
