I can’t understand my words for you. I said precisely what I intended to say. You apparently didn’t understand it. You seem to not understand modern equipment either. I use a long bridge. I use a mid extension full time. I am extremely sensitive to the weight and balance of my cue. My...

I’m pretty familiar with Kamui’s marketing materials, but I’ve never seen this. I *have* seen a chart graphing the elasticity vs hardness for the various tips they offer. Are you sure you’re not thinking of this? KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Why are you assuming that because there are differences, that the current choices “don’t matter”? Information evolves. Activities evolve. Equipment evolves. There are some things done differently in the modern game. The details of how they are done matter as much as they ever did. Understanding...

I’m fairly certain that once any compaction has occurred on a new tip, chalking habits are the only factor that determines a tips shape. The reason it keeps the same radius for *you* is because it is you who chalks it every time (I’m assuming). KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards...

The fact of the matter is this. A frozen 9 ball rack creates a dead ball in the corner from a range of locations and speeds. Once you learn that idea, most of the conversation becomes irrational nonsense. A template creates a frozen rack. A triangle, with a competent racker and good...

Yes, I didn't mention the applied score because I was replying to something else. Namely your error about the average innings. I'm extremely familiar with how applied scores work. You're still not quite understanding what information feeds into your handicap. Have you ever watched a...

You have a lot of misunderstandings. It's not clear whether that stems from a lack of information, or erroneous information processing, or both. No offense, but in this thread, it seems "common sense" means "Irrationally mishandling faulty information". Sorry...call it like I see it.

With respect, nearly all that you said here is incorrect, aside from the handicap being based on your best 10 of the last 20. Game scores are essentially irrelevant on their own. For every match you play, you get a single match score. The innings of individual games are not input at all! Only...

Just FYI, the Revo isn’t even the lowest deflection Predator shaft lol. Z3 lower. Older OB2+ lower, probably a few others lower. My turned down (way down) 314-3 is WAY lower deflection than my 12.4 Revo. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Without the slightest hesitation get the JB. Significantly better product with better support. The Omega is literally a design copy knock off. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I don’t see that information as particularly relevant to my pool game. It’s interesting I suppose, but has little bearing on how a shaft plays in my hands, with my bridge and stroke. Under those circumstances, my modified 314-3 has substantially less deflection than my 12.4 Revo. I guess from my...

Tell me more please. I’m interested in Joe Davis. Someone told me that Joe looked at the cueball last, as do I. I’ve never looked into it to find out if that was true about him. But everything I hear about this guy resonates with things I do. What should I look at? Where could I find more about...

Not really. If you’re testing the performance of various cars and some have manual transmissions, and you just leave those in 3rd all the time, you’re really not testing the capabilities of that car. Likewise, because different shafts have different natural pivot lengths, testing them all at...

Interesting observation. I quit using the Revo because it had too much deflection. My doctored yo 314-3 has *WAY* less deflection than my 12.4 radial Revo. The only shaft I’ve ever tried that had less was an 11.75mm OB2+ shaft with a very hard tip. I had trouble making a ball with that one it...

Smart question

I used to play a weekly tourney at a place in Quincy, MA. They had a 12’ Riley snooker table that was quite nice. One week, it was gone. I asked where it went, and it went to The Rolling Stones hotel suite in Boston for a week or so. Kinda cool! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards...

I’ve seen Mike Masse and Ewa Laurence in a tiny dive bar. It was great! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

This sounds like you are only valuing “grit” expended at the time of a competitive event. What about the lifetime of grit training and practicing and creating the ability to life 400 lbs? (Kind of a not so apt analogy to start given that physical strength has a huge genetic component...lots of...

This is a game where you have a sequence of patters, particular ball layouts. You have to run the pattern. Earl explained it to me and it actually sounds pretty awesome. It’s kinda like the different holes on a golf course Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I haven’t heard a word about the January event in Rhode Island. What will the payouts be? Is the event going forward as planned? Any update on equipment in the room? Is there a player list anywhere? Any and all info would be appreciated, but especially answers to these questions. Thanks! Sent...
