    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    It's strange because my left eye so wants to be the dominant one even though it is blurry (even with corrective lens). I am going to try the patch thing though.

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    I get ya, but that has yet to help my pool game -- except maybe motivation :cool:

    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    As long as I have been aware, I've been cross-dominant, meaning right handed but left eye dominant for pool aiming. However, in the last year or so my left eye has developed a condition that has diminished its focus, so now I have significantly better vision in my right eye. The problem is, my...

    EFREN “Bata” “The Magician” REYES TRIBUTE … The GOAT’s BEST SHOTS EVER

    Efren pulled off a damn nice kick against me at Bogie's Senior One Pocket 2021. I was quite pleased with myself to have won one game, and although he only needed one ball at the time of this shot, I had everything on my side with dead and hanging balls lol. Stunned me for sure, as it happened...

    EFREN “Bata” “The Magician” REYES TRIBUTE … The GOAT’s BEST SHOTS EVER

    Also not on video, but I saw live -- against I believe Dave Matlock at DCC in 1P, with the cue ball lodged up against a single object ball near the center diamond on the foot rail (with both players having threats near their pocket), Efren perfectly masse'd around that lone ball in close...

    Your favorite Derby after hours match, and?

    My favorite too. Not the most money but def the most amazing display of One Pocket!!! Most amazing NOT at the Detby? Grady and Bugs at one of Strawberry’s tournaments early 90’s. One of the most amazing things recently at the DCC was the 16 yo girl shooting spot shots out of the back corner...

    Well, I'll be -- professional golf, one of the behemoths of big money sports, on purpose makes it tougher the final day? You don't say... maybe I should care more about... golf :LOL:

    I trust your #'s more than mine! But either way those are huge fields. Somebody mentioned a time study. Just looking at prior year results that they publish, you can tally up the game & round totals each discipline from those. That gives you one (or two) of your factors. Then there is the time...

    When I look at the completed results, it looks like it might have been as many as 598 in the 9-ball. That following 481 in Banks and 426 in One Pocket. These are my numbers and they might be wrong. Those are HUGE fields!!

    I’m not a 9-ball fan at all, yet I would hesitate on that compromise. 7 is really a toss up; I think it was reasonable to change it 9. Of course if they start talking about shortening the 1P races, I’ll be up in arms lol 😂

    Another thing they could do is at the time players initially sign up, they could collect the buyback in escrow. Which players could get that money back by withdrawing prior to the pertinent redraw round if they lose. And of course they could always just forgo the buyback option when they first...

    My very limited experience running tournaments, is mainly having a hand in our OnePocket.org members only tournaments. As you can imagine our membership includes a lot of classic one pocket players with a tendency to have some long games lol. But we’ve come up with a schedule after some trial...

    I I thought I read that they were planning to go back to 4-1/2” for the tournament floor tables. But the more difficult questions of how to make the schedule run more efficiently, the only “simple” thing I can think of would be to cap the entries at lower numbers. The potential for software...

    Bottom line is, it's obvious that the smaller pockets contributed to the schedule problems at this year's Derby, and it sounds like that is already being addressed by DCC staff. As for the TV table, I think it would be fine to have the pockets slightly tighter. I suspect Greg Sullivan, Pat...

    When a poster gets clearly and specifically warned, not to use “ma’am” and “panties in a bunch” ahem jokingly, referring to other posters known to be men, but they go on to ignore the warnings and repeat the targeted insults they’ve been specifically warned about, a normal person would expect...

    Nah you get the last twisted word 😁 Unless…. You wanted to bet on who has demonstrated more “care” for pool.

    Really. This is almost as silly as you saying Carl Bolm put up $10,000 so Tony Chohan and Shane Van Boening could play their next challenge match without smoke. I did get a chuckle out of the fact that you could not say you were wrong — the best you could do was say I was correct lol 😂😂

    The point is, it all fits with the lack of concrete standards for pool. Those slight variations are commonplace.
