He shot great! I wonder what his Accu-Stats rating was. I only saw him make one mistake - scratched on the break. Did I miss anything else?

Maybe they could foretell the future? http://dianahoppe.com/memorabilia.htm

He got tired and quit.

If it wasn't for the automakers we'd all be riding horses. Should I start my own car factory just because I'm not satisfied with the way they're building the car I'm about to pay for with my own hard-earned money?

I really like "The Left-Handed Gun", because he's like a gunfighter the way he calmly shoots his opponents down, like the original left-handed gun, "Billy The Kid". BTW I hate "Eagle Eyes". Don't blame him for wanting to change it before it's too late. Which it will be very soon, because he is...

Depends on the school, I think. My oldest boy studied Kempo at the Fred Villari school across the street from our business (it was convenient). My MA buddies called it "Belts Are Us", because of how easily a kid advanced through the ranks (with a nice little "exam fee" preceding each belt...

He ain't so dumb, and of course he's doing it on purpose, and has been since he joined. Keeps getting away with it, too. He's learned to hide behind the letter of the law here, while flagrantly violating the spirit of it's purpose here, which is to promote civilized discourse in matters related...

At which point it's time to go back to the Internet and look up a bunch of things about golf, baseball, and tennis that have absolutely nothing to do with pool, and present these factoids as proof (through some unfathomable relationship) that the "scientists" don't know everything... even though...

You're welcome! And thanks for the compliment about my Aussie. His name is a Tucker, and he's a big boy now. 49 pounds of playful exhuberance and affection. He's my constant companion, and will sit on the basement steps for hours watching me run balls. He's a herding breed, and probably...

Yes, I think that's the only way to make it work. Thanks.

Lol! Did you see the cheap cue case Shane was showing off during a TAR podcast? He folded it in half and laughed, "Look... It even bends!" If SVB can carry his cue in a flimsy plastic envelope case, anybody can. Just go and mingle. I am dreadfully shy myself, but I've learned to push myself...

Break stat is what's telling the tale of the match here. Morra - .200, Shaw - 1.000.

Even at 1.05 you run into a problem if you are shooting better than .950. Right now Morra is playing .962, which would give him a 1.010 shooting average.

With a 1.05 conversion factor, that would be like .990 on the 9'. :eek:

Watching these guys play on the Bigfoot, it's obvious that they are struggling a bit more than they would on a 9' table. And yet, Bustie is shooting .921 TPA and Ko is shooting .900 TPA. Any thoughts on how much harder the 10' is considered compared to the 9'? I'm looking for a factor that...

I'll bet the memories of actually being there are worth even more. :cool:

Actually, I said I didn't care much for Hunter's commentary. While I like him in real life (based on a few short conversations I've had with him), he acts very arrogant and confrontational in the booth. His back and forth with another guest commentator (I believe it was Joy Hass?) had me...

I thought Zion did a good job until he had enough of Frenchie's dog and pony show and bailed. Hunter, while a very good and knowledgeable pro player, did not act like much of a pro at the mike. When he started to quiz Snooky about what she thought one or the other player would do, he did the...

Thanks, Jim. I'll try to work though Dave's proof when my brain feels a little fresher (and the DCC matches are over for the day).;)

Cloth seems to be a big factor, but doesn't the mass of the ball make a big difference as well? Your experience with spin dying in snooker must have a lot to do with the lighter balls, don't you think? When I watch English 8-ball, the small balls just seem to die, especially the little, tiny...
