A hole in one in golf is comparable to breaking and running one game in a Ring Game. A hole in one is just a good score (eagle) on one hole. The golfer making the ace could end up with a terrible score for his 18 hole round. The only way a golfer making a hole in one gets any monetary reward...

Thank you for great one pocket video. It is much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

This video shows some of the things being discussed in this thread. Danny Harriman Straight Pool 2013 Derby City Classic - YouTube A 14.1 run being ended by a skid. A measles cue ball is being used. The player in the video inquires about using a different cue ball. The referee does not...

I think the only time a jump cue should be used is when you can't see the lowest numbered ball on the table after the break. The push rule could be taken out of the game. This would allow pool players who invested in their game to purchase a jump cue and be proficient with it, to use their...

There were many bank matches streamed this year! Accustats is great, but not the only game in town so to speak.

I have found that using Triangle chalk cuts down on the chalk marks on the cue ball.

So the Derby City Classic flyer says the event is using Cyclop TV cue balls. When I purchased a single red dot Cyclop cueball a couple years ago it was called a TV cueball. I would like to know for sure what cueball will be used in the Derby? Cyclop's version of a measles ball, or the single...

I know a cuemaker that swears the bottom half of the chalk is better. He takes a new piece of chalk and cuts it in half, uses the bottom half, and throws away the top half! You will get more use out of the "good half" of the chalk by sanding it down like you describe.

My shot is a six rail. I also know a five rail shot but a little different than most folks shoot it:) Try to figure it out by November. I could show you at Evelyn's event at Shooters....

My favorite proposition shot is to put a ball on the spot with a quarter balanced on top of it. With ball in hand in the kitchen execute a six rail kick, hit the ball on the spot with the quarter staying in place!

I am fairly certain that in this match a plastic diamond rack was being used.

Cue and Cushion in Overland will do a good job setting up your table.

You only get hit with a $25 extra charge if you sign up the day of the event. If you do not plan on getting to the venue a day early, sign up online.

A one rail bank in the corner was called before the shot.

A Bank that catches the point of the side and goes down the long rail into the corner counts as a 1 rail bank. This happened to me at DCC this year in the third round. A referee was called in to help.

Shooting your age in golf.

Thanks for the suggestions. I agree that the game doesn't need a handicap. I fear that only the same few "better" players may show up and chase away any newbies that may give it a shot.

I am getting together a three ball night at my local bar. The owner has agreed to add a little money and open the table for a period of time. I am trying to get people of all skill levels to participate. I have never heard of ways to handicap a three ball game. Any ideas would be helpful...

I have found that having a tip that matched the curve of a cue ball is most effective. I rough up my tip, then use the cue ball like a tip tapper to get that shape.
