It's possible it was a match later this tournament. Jayson was doing this a lot after it happened.

Other than the ball spitting back out he had perfect position for the 9. But I don't understand why he had to turn such a simple positional shot into a tougher positional shot. Perhaps the angle I'm seeing is less severe than it actually was or I'm just used to playing on slower felt...

Absolutely. All of the other mega-poolrooms named in the thread are located in bustling cities. I mean, Fargo certainly isn't a gigantic metropolis, but you're looking at more than 100k people there. Statesville is middle-of-nowhere small town USA. If 150 N Out in nearby Mooresville wasn't...

Never heard of this guy. It's a shame I can't find any video of him shooting anywhere.

Sure does. And now I keep my case under the table when I'm playing. I also keep, and have for years, all my quarters on the ledge right below the mechanism you put the quarters into. I've had at least 3 little kids try to steal quarters right in front of me. And I'm constantly getting...

I'm with you...I can't tell any discernible difference other than the fact that it would be labeled "EC7" near the butt.

For LD production cues, and perhaps production cues in general, I'd say those honors go to Mezz.

I'm hoping to get on the 3 to where I can adequately control the cueball to bank the 4 in the opposite side. The 9 ball makes the positioning for that bank a bit tricky. It will be a slow speed bank. This slow speed will allow me to nudge the 6 ball in a controlled manner, thus leaving a shot...

Very well said. For the first 2 years I played, I was pretty much exclusively on 9-footers. When I moved to North Carolina from Mississippi, the closest place to shoot pool to where I lived had 7-footers. I didn't like them too much...seemed way to small for my liking. This is a point when...

I hope you're half-kidding and don't really mean inherent. I'm sure you know it's all about environment. When it comes to general talent within a region, that is a fact. But I'm sure Freddie wasn't suggesting this. He's just a proud native who can appreciate the fact that somebody else is...

I actually started a similar thread a few years ago, but didn't actually get contacts until this past August. It's been great for me. If you're not tall and are pretty flexible, like a Sylver Ochoa, then you might not see much of a difference. I'm tall and have never had great flexibility...

Seems like you had every right to call him out to me. Having to beat your opponent twice in the second match seems unfair.

I received a set of pool balls in the mail today...Aramith TV Super Pro Cup. It had no 8-ball and two 9-balls in it. I was super excited about getting them, so I was thoroughly disappointed when I noticed the error. I just hope the supply store I ordered from online can rectify it...already...

You have revealed your distaste for Americans in the past and have explicitly stated how dumb you believe we all are. Yet, wouldn't somebody intelligent know not to generalize individuals on account of their nationality? I love my Mezz cue and couldn't imagine shooting with anything...

It'll be 7 years since I began playing pool this August. It wasn't until several months ago that I went LD. About a year into playing, I ordered an OB and it just didn't feel right. Perhaps I wasn't willing to give it enough time. Then I tried a Predator shaft this past summer and after a...

Never done league, but I'd be a 7 if I did.

I've never seen it. I'd like to think they know something those ballplayers don't.

If I couldn't buy it and flip it, depends on the brand and shape it's in. Being that it was in the Bills locker room doesn't add any value to it, at least for me. If it has the Bills symbols and colors all over it, I'd wouldn't pay anything for it.

Surprisingly, he wasn't invited back.
