My understanding of the ball-in-hand rule is that if you are holding the cue ball and touch another ball your body/clothing is essentially an extension of the cue ball. If the coach wasn't holding the ball, I can't see that there was a foul. Although technically, it should be the sitting...

I haven't seen what you found using the nifty search feature, but if its just the drills, you're really missing out on value of the DVD's. The drills themselves are just common 9-ball situations having to move from one end/side of the table to the next. What I found really valuable was...

I think that changes are probably overall in the best interest in the WPBA. But to change their qualifying criteria at the end of the regional tour season is really unfair. If I had paid WPBA dues through my regional tour, with the expectation that I could have an opportunity to play and...

Problem loading page Last night when I looked, I could see the brackets, but when I clicked on them I got an empty page. Now I can't see anything on the main us open page either. I'm using firefox.

Actually, if she had only said, "give me call if you want to play," i don't think there would be much to say, it was the "I'm sick of this thread bs" that's stirring things up. It is a little surprising to me, since if I remember the thread last time, it all went down very nicely and no one...

Yes, just like in your local league, where the LO has the discretion to manually adjust your rating. I know that observers will do it in the middle of a game if they feel it necessary. Not sure what you're point was here. Even if its a manual raise, they're still looking at full level...

That's interesting. In Vegas, I've played against two Oklahoma City teams. Of all our opponents, these were the only ones where I felt they were throwing games and padding innings. Both teams were also reprimanded by refs for not marking safeties. Both teams were very nice and sportsmanlike...

Really? I tend to think that people who are overly sensitive to subtle distractions are the one's who are doing the sharking. Not sure I'd believe that he actually thought you conceded the rack...

Chewing gum Someone once recommended chewing gum. I was skeptical, but I find it really helps, especially if my mind has gotten a little "chatty" or there's something in the environment that's especially distracting. Its interesting to me that so many people are recommending energy conserving...

Just got on I kept refreshing and finally got on....Sorry if I took someone's place.

Same here I'm having the same problem: "Maximum number of views for this channel has been reached":frown:

I really don't get why this is such a big deal...With only one time out per game, the only thing you can communicate to your player is, "I don't want to burn a time out over this." Unless you've got some "secret signal" in the way you don't call a time out. If it means that players are going to...

We have this argument on my team about two way shots a lot... Jude, I'm curious would you still consider this a defensive shot based on shot selection alone, even if your impression was that the shooter really gave their best effort to nail the bank?

That's strange....because if you look at the sportsmanship award nomination form, one of the items listed as good sportsmanship is "Opponent announced defensive shots before making them" Not sure I agree with the refs call.

Thanks... Thanks for all your responses and encouragement. Things are looking better for my friends eye (no pun intended), but probably not fast enough for him to play in league playoffs :frown:. Although long term is what we were really worried about. Sounds like one eye isn't really a...

Hi, I have a friend who was in an accident and has lost vision in one eye (temporarily, we hope). Fortunately, its not his dominant eye that was injured, but he says his depth perception is a problem. I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this and how long it took to adjust to...

South Beach Billiards is no longer. I used to live around the corner from McNally's in Oakland, but I would hardly call it a hall. Its just a bar with one table (it may have even been a bumper pool table) if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure its still there, but not sure if they still...
