I totally agree. When someone wants to play bar rules many times I'll ask, "what are those, can you show them to me or tell me where I can find them?".

I don't even have to be addicted to do that. Network tv imo has sucked for a long time. I watch almost no network tv, occasionally news. You know you're addicted when your cue goes everywhere you do. Always ready for a game.

How is it bar rules don't allow for defensive play? I thought all a player had to do was hit the cue ball so it went at least 5 inches or something like that? I know it's different everywhere. I play BCAPL rules. I feel the rules were set up to keep fighting about the game to a minimum. Had...

Do you play by bar rules for 8 ball? At your table, not where you go to a bar and that's how they play. I'm guessing most here don't. What is it about bar rules that makes them not used? What is it about the rules you do play with that makes you use them? I have my answers for why I play...

I'll take a Yamaha R1 straight off the showroom floor, thank you very much. Better gas mileage, better cornering, better braking and pretty much blow away anything w four wheels on the street. Sure, there is always something faster but at what cost? Cops, what cops. I don't have to outrun the...

Love this bar.

How do the rules change during a match? That's garbage. That'd have me wanting my money back.

I'm familiar w Holland Barstool Co. Sold their barstools, they weren't great quality. Your interested in buying a pool table from a company that is known for barstools. That should set off the spidey senses right there. I'm betting all the wood is manufactured in China. If so, the finish on...

One simple word, focus.

Please record some video for us. Maybe you could post a few picks of this pool player slayer? Hope you get to feeling better.

So Jay and Dean are the only exceptions to your sweeping generalization that the people who gamble are the downfall of this game and people who gamble are not athletes, but unemployed bums w no ethics or morals. Got it. Thank you for clearing that up. It's opinions like these that give me such...

Anytime discussing opinions, there is always an assessment of those opinions. Whether it is vocalized or brought up is another thing. My opinion is your opinion is wrong and I demonstrated why it is flawed. See, we're sharing our opinions :thumbup: If I subject my opinion and I don't want to...

This is wrong on a couple fronts. I wouldn't say gambling took over pool. As long as there have been sports, people have gambled on them and some people try to tilt the playing field in their favor. Why is horse racing so respected? With horse racing you almost have to question, what came...

I just got back into pool about 10 years ago. I only started watching the pros play in the last 5 or so. All the pro pool I've watched, a couch potato could watch in a few evenings. Next year I will officially be old. I love watching the Mosconi Cup. Last year was the first year I saw most...

I had no faith in Deuel before he played and my thoughts were justified. I don't watch a lot of pro pool but what I have, that guy has never impressed me as a top tier player.

I've put in some time on my PSR. I'm blind in my right eye, play right handed. I stand behind the CB and look at the angle of the shot, this is when I determine speed and leave, track it a couple times, OB to pocket/CB to OB. Then I get behind the OB and get down and find the center of the...

I find that using english is magnified. Slight off center shots show. I witnessed this first hand when one of the places I play pool puts new cloth on. Then I experienced it in a couple other places when they changed the cloth. Our home league table just got new cloth, stupid fast. I told the...

Just curious if you all only vacuum your table? Does anyone use a brush alone? I was playing last week on a table w new cloth and one of the guys said the cloth will pill if it's brushed against the grain. Any insight on that?

League or tournament play is no time to be practicing. You run what you brung. When it's for money, you play within your game. Then there's practice. Winning shouldn't be the only goal. I'll lose for an hour if I can improve my game. I used to practice a couple days a week with one of the best...

That's a no Dean. It's been written, you will always play pool.
