I know exactly what the threshold balls per inning is for a 9. Can’t remember for a 7 or 8 but I’m pretty close on those. I’d rather not say. It’s less than you think. Well less than 10. The APA has assumed that 9’ tables are a little harder to run balls. Their handicaps are based on 7’...

Its sadly quite common. KMRUNOUT

Correct. Which means neither do pool tournaments if there is any future for this game. KMRUNOUT

It's really impressive when the word is right there in his meme, spelled correctly, and he still can't spell it right. Bodes well for any info to follow :cool: KMRUNOUT

I don’t understand. Is this at the horseshoe? Last year when I was there there was a checkpoint where they stopped you and ID’ed you prior to entering the casino area. What’s the problem with that? Maybe they lived from the Horseshoe? KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

I'd say its a matter of competence. The job is to produce a tight rack. Every time. Not discounting lack of effort as an explanation for the lack of competence. Very annoying though. So far this Mosconi Cup seems full of issues. KMRUNOUT

are the refs instructed to rack poorly? I'm seeing lots of square hits from the side rail on the break, and no corner balls being made. KMRUNOUT

from CSI rules: Frozen Ball A ball that is touching another ball or a cushion. If loose strands or fibers of cloth extend from a cushion and contact a ball, that does not constitute that ball being frozen to the cushion. KMRUNOUT

I remember reading about Allen Hopkins being up 10-0 over Efren and Efren came back and won 11-10. Pretty sure that was much later than this time period though. KMRUNOUT

Well deflection is a term that is typically used synonymously with cueball squirt, and refers to the tendency of the cueball to move offline when using English. The Revo is a model of shaft produced by Predator know most for its innovative use of carbon fiber. So that is how those two things...

Ryan just played in the same tournament with me up at Snookers in Providence RI. Good guy. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

With a properly racked template? He probably would. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

This is simply false. The system whereby handicaps are set is a nationwide system. League operators have some discretion for raising people that they believe are sandbagging. Many players have nationally locked handicaps. I you want to be that guy that craps on something, try getting your...

This thread is extremely dense with misinformation. First, if any two players play 50 safes each, and there are 100 innings, then they both missed 50 times. Those players are not good. 1 inning involves a turn by both players. Second, the APA formula has *nothing* to do with your...

Kaci has some problems getting a flightZ. Apparently he booked a flight twice and both times they cancelled it. So it was just that he couldn’t get here! Sucks! KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

With respect, this is pretty bad advice. Tip position equals cueball path. If you’re not changing the cueball path, don’t change the tip position. The only real difference going from tip to tip is the amount of force required for various shots. KMRUNOUT Sent from my iPhone using...

Since I agree with what you say, and you seem to be contesting something I said, I’m going to assume you missed some point I was making. Also FYI, the break cloth is to safeguard against burn marks caused by the friction resulting from the quick acceleration of the cueball. I think if you’re...

Depending on the table and the cloth in it, jumping is usually easier off a pad. To be honest though, it is really a separate issue. When trying to deduce the effects of a certain situation, you have to be very careful about making assumptions. For example, the idea that a jump shot, in which...

Of course you are right. I also don’t bother ever breaking with a template rack unless it’s being used in a tourney I am about to play. I think the issue with the pad is more about the compression rather than friction. I put in time to learn how to smash the rack fairly hard with the pop and...
