Good deal. Yeah, sounds like you played great considering the lack or organization. Good luck in the next one.

Bummer. Its difficult enough to focus without worrying about that sorta stuff. Is she generally supportive of you playing pool? My GF comes to my league matches every couple weeks to support me and the team. Maybe next time you may need to put your phone away until you're done.

Dogging the winning 9 musta been a complete bummer. :embarrassed2: Sorry to hear that but likely an invaluable experience. Have thought about doing the same.

Yeah see, this is the kinda shit that really irks me. Its one thing if the LO actually WATCHED them play but to hear if from someone else and react so subjectively to that is complete BS. I realize the the LO's must have the ability to adjust player handicaps outside of the mathematical...

Great thread Dave. I find it very interesting to know what the pros play with. Can't imagine why anyone of us serious players wouldn't be curious. I have always been one to not pay very much attention to Cuetec products. Considered them just a banger's gimmick. Figured they were just sort...

Haha.....:D

Samsaras are a great tip. Had one on my prior break cue and was so impressed with it that I just picked up another to put on my new thor hammer to replace the tip it came with. My thor is 17.5oz. I much prefer a lighter break cue. I've compared it my buddy's break cue which is 21oz and I...

I'm almost the complete opposite. I play much better in 9b. In 42 8b matches I have only one BnR but I've actually ran out off my opponent's dry break 3 times i think. :p

Oh yeah. Especially right after getting home. She can always tell how it went pretty quickly. :grin:

Hmmm...wish we could do that. All I can see on the other teams are the "matches played" numbers for each player. Are you a team captain? I've asked our captain if he has access to expanded stats for the other teams and he said no. I guess its something that LOs can allow if they care to...

Good deal. Well, that win % is impressive to me. I just calculated that I would need to win my next 12 straight matches to get to 80%. I think I recall my best run was 7 straight and that was as a SL5 so I don't see it happening. Although I am on 6 straight right now and all as a SL6. I was...

Yeah I'm guessing that once you're a 7, you'll always be a 7. Would be nice if you could see stats of other team's players too. I swear there's more to the handicap system than simple mathematical calculations. I know the LO can change it as they want but it just seems like a lot of arbitrary...

I just joined APA for the beginning of last year's summer session. I have a 74% win percentage after 42 matches. I started as the usual SL4 but have since been moved to a 6. I have only played 9-10 matches as a 6 and feel its only a matter of time before becoming a 7 to stay. Our team's...

The way the APA handicap system is, I'd be very surprised if after 200 matches that an 81% isn't in the top 2% of members. Its one thing to be at 81% after 30-40 matches. How many matches do you figure you played as a 7?

or the country for that matter

Wait a minute...so this other guy starts hitting balls on your table in the middle of your rack as you're getting your jump cue together??!! I'd be pretty pissed too.

Congrats. Good luck

Exactly. Don't really want to take the chance of it being enforced. It would be nice if my teammates would stop playing so chitty! :D Last night was the third week in a row that I've scored half of the team's points. :p Maybe we've become complacent as we've finished in first place and won...

I played well last night. Beat another SL6 5-0. Didn't miss many shots, was not out of position much and kicked the ball well when he snookered me. Would've got another rackless patch if I hadn't lost the lag. Very surprised he was a 6 but he played a lot of defense once he got down 3-0...

Agree but sometimes I have a difficult time keeping my mouth shut to idiots like that.
