So why not do some of those funny things if they help you in a game? I think rules that favor the more knowledgeable player are generally better. Also I disagree that the 9 on the break is easier. With a frozen rack, it is extremely difficult to make the 9 on the break. The 8 however can be...

The reasoning is that when the balls are frozen, a double hit does not occur. High speed video bears this out. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

The poster was asking about APA rules. You are describing BCA rules. KMRUNOUT

I'd certainly cast a vote for Renaissance. It's excellent. Previously I used Butcher's Bowling Alley Wax. That was also quite good but I think Renaissance is a hair better. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Exactly correct. It is a stalemate when each player cannot or will not make use of ball in hand. As long as player one keeps playing a shot (even if it's a foul), player 2 can pick up the cue ball and hand it to player one every inning until the end of time. It is a stalemate only when...

It has always appeared that way in my experience. Anyone that calls the situation you describe a bad hit is either uninformed, or conforming to a very dumb rule set. The rules need to reflect reality. Regardless of our interpretations, reality doesn't budge. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone...

Nah. The smart floor managers in Vegas for the APA know what a double hit is. Some call it correctly. Many don't. Really depends who you deal with. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

That is not my experience on the Joss tour, nor is that my 25 years experience playing in the northeast. In my experience, in actual tournaments they call a double hit if you like, double hit the cue ball. For the most part. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Perfect example of a dumb rule set. You either double hit or you don't. Why do we constantly have to create rules to accommodate the people that can't be bothered to learn the facts, to learn to identify the situation. Etc. I'm too lazy or dumb to figure this out, so I demand rules that...

We need to have resolutions that are simple and that work...and that conform to reality. Settling for 2/3 is ultimately a failure. Just give it time. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Since I met you at Derby, I too have converted to the Revo. I have the 12.4 Radial. My experience matches yours almost *exactly*. Definitely more deflection than I was expecting. Definitely more than my 314-3 that I've turned down slightly to about 12.5mm. The way I would describe the...

Matt, These are excellent observations! Definitely most or all of these are big factors. I respect that you recognize that there is an issue. I try to come back to this and address your specific points. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Do you know the conversion from 2 hundredths to 20 thousandths? ;-) KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

That sounds like a poorly organized event! Glad you had a good time anyway. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Most league operators I've dealt with are decent about calling the office ahead of time during the week, finding out the time of your first match, and sort of verbally preregistering. I'd give that a try. If they have an issue with that, then hats just stupid. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone...

I am very good at producing tight racks. From what I have seen over 20+ years playing, a LOT better than the vast majority. Most people seem to not understand what a tight rack even *is*. Without question I would prefer rack your own. I see no reason whatsoever why my opponent should...

Not sure how to do this, but try looking here: Break Tip shootout! Taom, Hammerhead, Zento, and more. https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=421892 KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums
