For all players, it does not matter who your opponent is. Not one bit. Your skill level is calculated based on innings per game in 8 ball and balls per inning in 9 ball. So if you are able to run balls at a certain level, your opponent doesn't really matter at all as far as your skill level...

I did not miss the point of the rule, nor did I offer any objection to the rule. Personally I've never considered the idea of running up innings to sandbag by way of a soft break. I would think that a clustered rack would result in a large number of defensive shots, which would run the innings...

I haven't read the whole thing, however Up until this revision, I've seen the previous rulebooks and the revisions, and did not notice any theme of intelligent writing. They leave many things ambiguous, and simply do not write well. They do not seem to have any system in place for collecting...

Well if you're the shooter, and the 8 is moving towards a marked pocket, then presumably if it went into that pocket you would win. If you prevent it from going in, you are preventing yourself from winning. So I'd think the standard rule would apply for disturbing a ball in motion, and the...

Having experienced exactly this, I feel your pain, quite literally. Apparently I'm highly resistant to lidocane, or whatever local anesthetic they used, because the guy gave me 7 TIMES the normal dose, and it hurt like hell. Worst pain experience of my life. Oh and the part where he had to go...

The same resin can be polished differently. I coulda sworn aramith claimed some sort of hardened surface for the super pros. Not sure though. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

My man! What really baffles me is why the APA has not recognized how terrible their rule book is. I feel certain that you or I could make a far more concise and organized version. You have to *want* to get better [emoji849] KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

A 10 year old can understand the rules of the APA, especially if they read the rulebook. For many pool players, bar rules are the "real rules", and APA (which is a huge advance over bar rules) seems foreign. Its all about what you are familiar with. There are no "real" rules. There are only...

Good question. I'm not sure. I would guess the one that can be described as having a high velocity (near the speed of light) would net the increase in mass, but honestly I'm no expert on relativity, and there may be far more to discover in that topic for even the experts. For all I know, the...

Accelerate a pool ball (or any object with mass) to near the speed of light. It will have greater mass. That said, I think you have made your disdain for this poster's question loud and clear now several times. Best, KMRUNOUT

If you continue in school, and take some more advanced physics, you will learn that an object heating up specifically DOES experience weight gain. The object had all of its original mass, plus the additional mass equivalent of the additional heat energy now present in the object. The...

Um...is it somehow transporting to some other gravitational field other than earth's? It was my understanding that weight is a relationship between mass and gravitation (and of course distance), but really had nothing to do with volume. Explain please? KMRUNOUT

That would only change their volume, not their mass. KMRUNOUT

I break with a BK Rush. I don't and never have used a glove. I wash my hands with soap and water and dry them thoroughly if I feel any stickiness with any of my cues, wood or carbon fiber. If the Rush shaft is dirty at all, I take about a 1/4" worth of my water straw and drip it on a paper...

Nope. Not a foul. See my other posts. KMRUNOUT

It helps distinguish what rule book to look in for the answer... KMRUNOUT

Also not true. There are no object ball fouls in the APA. Even a ball knocked off the table is not a foul! Celophanewrap described the correct outcome perfectly. An object ball in motion that contacts something like a bridge or cue stick stays where it ends up, and the opponent shoots from...

This is precisely correct. Good answer. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

In watching his video, did you observe a high level of cueball control on his breaks? I'm not saying that has anything to do with the choice of bridge type. I'm just saying that his video doesn't strike me as a great example of accuracy and control. Power? Sure. KMRUNOUT Sent from my...

I've been told that Thoroughbred and Precision are the exact same tip, both imported from the same maker in China, and that the two companies sort and package them differently. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? KMRUNOUT
