That was the one I was referring to above. It was a nice place, but it's gone.

I've heard that a young Corey Deuel was coached by Jimmy Caras. I've personally seen Mr. 400 coaching Rodney Morris during a 14.1 tournament.

I was through there a few years ago and there was just one place left with 9 footers and it has since closed. Don't know about bar boxes or about more recent developments.

Don't forget the ball shelves I never see anyone cleaning the shelves where the balls are placed for one pocket and between sessions.

Directional Vacuuming? There's a lot of emphasis in this thread on vacuuming in only one direction. Why does it matter on worsted cloth?

Note too that not every foul on the opening break loses two points.

Plastic is good. Plastic interlocking is better. Clear plastic interlocking would be even better. When you have a high bridge, it's hard to see the CB.

Hmmm, I haven't been able to find anything like that in the WPA/BCA rules.

Nope 17. CUE STICKS Cue Sticks used at WPA competitions should comply with the following during play at table: Length of Cue: 40 inches [1.016 m] minimum / No Maximum Weight of Cue: No minimum / 25 oz. [708.75 gm] maximum Width of Tip: No minimum / 14mm maximum The cue tip may not be of a...

I think it is apparent from Oscar's picture that it is more effective than stacking bridges.

The game is 14.1 - not that the game matters. The CB is very close to the stack of balls and the shooter has to reach over them to shoot. This makes bridging quite difficult. The shooter places a standard bridge across the table, one end resting on top of a long rail and the other end resting on...

Interesting. What's number one? Maybe the banks ring game?

I played there at UofM a few times and enjoyed the place, but I can't say I'm surprised that it is being closed. Any time I went there it was pretty much empty. I was there in the summer once and the place had no air conditioning. It was a long way from being a great place to play. With the...

Having a hard time understanding how this could work. Doesn't it mean that the break ball has to be the highest numbered ball left on the table when you get down to just five balls? No matter where it lies? And a similar problem with the key ball?

I prefer Dr. Dave's "Vision Center" exercise: http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/eyes.html#vision_center Making the ball is, of course, important, but it's just as important to see that on a straight in the cue ball doesn't drift left or right after object ball contact and that it has no...

Mr. 400 would be a good one to ask He often (maybe always) starts his 14.1 practice sessions by practicing rotation. He told me that it lets his stroke out quickly.

That wasn't the question The question was "Who is currently the best "pool" player in the world right now?".

Looks to me like the 1 is keeping me from getting to the 8. If that's true, I would make the stripe near the corner and go 2 rails to about the second diamond on the right long rail. From there, I would make the 2 in the side and stop or backup slightly for the 13 in the corner. If I miss shape...

Clearly, this method does not depend on being able to visualize the two balls colliding. I depends on being able to visualize the OB's contact point and the side of the shaft that is inside the angle.

I imagine it must start to fail when the CB is very close to the OB and/or when the cut is very thin. True?
