I understand the us open straight pool will be returning to CT Windsor Locks, but does anyone know if the us open one pocket will also be there at the same time? And, is there any word on qualifiers for either of these? thanks ...

IMO, this game requires more CB control than just about any other game. There is no alternative to CB control and it isn't something that will just happen. There's a ton of reasons the CB doesn't end up going where you want it to go. From stance, stroke, follow through, level cue...

Ahhh... got it. Geez, guess I never noticed how well she did. As always, whenever I see her, I just enjoy how bubbly and beautiful she is.

There's no doubt there are far more better players today than years ago. And, at the risk of dating myself .... back in the day, you broke soft with outside english, hit the corner ball, two balls hit rails and went back in the rack while the CB went 3 rails and rested on the 4th head...

I gotta say that I've always thought she was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. For me, a one word description would have to be mesmerizing. I could look at that girl smiling all day. Now ... what was all that ", she cleaned up well" ? What did that supposed to mean? What...

My driveway if flat. My kitchen table is flat ... whoa ... even my pool table is flat. I just looked up a picture of earth in a book I have and I rubbed my hand across it. It is flat. I type with two fingers ... and now even my beer is flat. :thumbup:

I admit not having read this entire thread, so if I repeat what anyone suggested, I'm sorry for being too lazy to read. I have been involved with pool for 50 years. I've owned a pool room and have learned a lot from it. It a nutshell, and IMO, you don't to support anyone to grow pool's...

Everyone's likes and dislikes differ guys, and their perception of pool games are greatly influenced by their preferences. I've always loved straight pool and I still consider it the king of all pool games. The focus and concentration it requires for long periods of time make it extremely...

Who is the fellow sitting behind the Mcdermott banner? Looks very familiar

I still think my solution is the best. Hang this thing from the ceiling right over the table, put all the balls in it and .... three turns and let it go

They just said it on the US Open stream. Interesting. Wonder when the citizens of the USA will consider illegal aliens criminal? :shrug:

I really enjoy Danny's commentary also. In fact I wouldn't have any interest at all to watch 9 ball without some fun commentary.

LOL Bob ... but in the old days it seemed like there were only a dozen people who could win. Today .... everybody is a champeeeen! :thumbup:

My point is, what the heck difference does it make in the big picture of a game like 9 ball. Edit... btw, I can't play that game for more than 30 minutes wthout being bored silly, so I don't know one rack method from the next. Whatever makes it less likely to crap in balls is better imo...

Its 9 ball for crying out loud. This break thing is a concern, but its ok to smash kick at a ball when you can't see it, it then kisses off the 9, sends the 9 around the table like a pinball game, off three more balls and into the pocket. Happy days.... you win! Really? REALLY??? And...

Hard to tell this person's frame of mind based on an explanation rather than experiencing his demeanor at the table, at the time. Was he honestly unaware it wasn't going to be bih? If he thought is was bih, and as you mentioned, it was obviously not going to make it to the rail, then his...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... and we all will never miss again when Venus aligns with Jupiter. Shit man, I run 60 balls cold out of the gate, and then I can't put 5 balls together for the rest of the day. Now who's memory started giving up? Me or my shaft? :eek:

Funny how some things just get to us . This happens to be one of the topics that really irks me. How for the life of me, people can play "the entire ball has to be over the line" as opposed to the base of the ball is beyond me. The logic is simple. 1. You can (AND SHOULD) draw a line on...

not to mention ... players often call one ball ... walk around the table for some time and then decide on another shot. If its obvious .. they don't recall another ball ... so even if he did call the 2 at some point, IMO it doesn't matter. I didn't even see an available shot on the 2 this is...

I personally wouldn't want to take a cheap win like that ... the shot was an obvious 10 IMO
