    Does this action constitute unsportsmanship?

    I think is unsportsmanlike conduct under WPA rules. See below. I think falls under item b) "changing position of balls in play other than by a shot." 6.16 Unsportsmanlike Conduct The normal penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct is the same as for a serious foul, but the referee may impose a...

    Your greatest Shark Tactics

    If you break down your playing cue while your opponent is shooting and on the hill, you forfeit. Doesn't matter if you are "changing the shaft", still forfeit. Sharking is only "harmless fun" if your opponent sees it that way. Obviously you have a lot of class but unfortunately it is all very...

    congrats to Jose Parica

    I watched the stream today and Jose was really impressive. He missed a few shots that he should have made but his knowledge and control of the CB were a pleasure to see. He is a class act.

    Forfeit One's Integrity to Win a Game?

    I know there is no coaching in singles play, but am not sure there are any "official" rules governing assistance between partners in doubles play. In the leagues I have played in conversation or coaching between partners was allowed whether playing alternate shot or alternate inning. I do...

    KF cue ?!?

    Chao was in the past sponsored by KaoFa but I think that stopped several years ago after he moved to Shanghai. When I have seen him play in Shanghai he still used his KF cue, Model LE001, which is ebony/alternate ivory with little stars in the forearm.

    keep ferrule clean

    Any white tooth paste will work. Toothpaste is a mildly abrasive compound that will remove the chalk. I do this and then put a little neutral shoe polish on the ferrule to help keep the chalk from penetrating the surface. The most important thing,I think, is to chalk properly so this is an...

    KF cue ?!?

    I play with a KF ( Kaofa) cue and have for several years. I like it and have had no problems with warpage or any other defects. Prices when I go mine ranged from about $150 to $800. Not sure about now. Their higher end cues are semi-custom made. Designs are fixed, but customer can specify...

    Buffalo Chalk?

    Buffalo cues and other pool accessories with the same logo as the chalk are sold in Europe. I had a Buffalo cue for a while. Looks to me like Tweeten is producing the chalk for Buffalo and putting the Buffalo logo on it.

    One Foot On The Floor

    In the IPT 8 ball championship, IPT had their own rules and insisted that they were the complete rules for the tournament. They forgot to put in "on foot on the floor" rule. During play. both Nick Varner and Jose Parica, I think, had obviously actually read the rules, realized this omission and...
