    APA 8 ball rules question

    The book says something like "in order to avoid a loss of game...". Moving toward the marked pocket would be winning the game. Accidentally knocking the 8 IN the marked pocket would be different. If I'm a situation and had to rule on that, and only had the rule book to rely on I'd call it a win...

    APA 8 ball rules question

    I think once or twice a year they get a whole room full of people that get together and make it more concise. Personally I've never been involved, but I have offered

    APA 8 ball rules question

    It's really pretty simple, During a shot, if the 8 ball leaves the table (off the playing surface) you either win or lose, depending on whether or not you're the shooter; if it doesn't leave the playing surface the 8 ball stays where it is where it finishes and the game continues; and if...

    APA 8 ball rules question

    Perhaps because a 10 year old can understand them and a pool player needs you to be more specific. It's a gamblers mentality: Get that cash any way you can. and most of the time we just call the 8 ball pocket, I don't own a big arrow. I will mark my pocket with a marker if my opponent asks for...

    The Hustler

    Would the San Souci story make a good movie? Maybe a sort of a "Brian's Song" kind of story. Not many can claim quite the colorful history of a Kid Delicious, and I don't know a lot of the 'Ginky' details, but most pool players at that level were part of a t least a few interesting stories New...

    APA 8 ball rules question

    Because the rules are most likely at least a little different. The APA is set up mainly for beginning to intermediate players. Accidents like accidentally disturbing uninvolved balls on the table with your cue are generally not penalized, you just put the balls back and play on

    APA 8 ball rules question

    Given that normally you'd let an object ball stop on it's own, even the 8 ball, I believe that the rule says that ANY object ball that is in motion and makes contact with a bridge, cue stick, ... etc will not be replaced. This indicates that it is not a foul and the 8 will be left where it was...

    Okay scumbag

    Well, the guy is kind of a letch, no denying that, but he has a plan that he seems willing to stick to for as long as he needs to. Strangely, there is something admirable here. He’s offering a service, clearly letting the reader know the cost, if he finds a willing taker then everyone’s happy...

    Legal Safety When The Cue Ball Is Frozen To The Object Ball

    My thought would be, or the way I'd interpret the rule is that the action of shooting or the act of the shot wouldn't actually begin until the cue ball is struck from it's present position. Simply pushing the cue ball to a rail without it making contact with an object ball AFTER the cue ball is...

    Playing with a glove

    I have tried different gloves, I can't stand any of them. Have you ever watched the videos dogs wearing shoes? I feel like that. I do however have a Predator glove and a Molineri glove, both are supposed to be 1/2 fingers, but my hands are small so for me it's like wearing a glove with just the...

    What is the Deal with this G2 Chalk?!?! Good, Bad or too Good?

    I like the OB, but quite honestly it to me, felt very similar to Master. I have been thinking over the last couple of years that your chalk preference may have a lot to do with what climate you’re in. Up here it’s pretty dry the Kamui while it still makes a mess it’s a little easier to use than...

    Anyone try G2 chalk ??

    I believe you’ll find that which ever chalk you choose in the end it’ll be a personal preference for some reason all you own. Ask this forum about 20 different kinds of chalk and no one will agree on any of them. I’ve tried G2, to me it’s pretty much chalk and nothing more than that. If you...

    going back to el cheapo cues

    I think that unless you’re the scientist that Corey Deuel is and you get to rack your own, breaking can be a pretty chancey thing. The cue probably means little if you’re breaking in league on a Valley. Almost nothing is predictable and all you can really control is the cue ball, if something...
