A ball is placed on the dot, cue ball is placed anywhere behind the headstring to start. All you have to do to get a point is hit the rail first then contact the ball. Nothing has to hit a rail. If the ball goes in, its still a point and it gets spotted. It can be 1 player for a test trial or 2...
One of the knockoff Balabushka's. The GB-1. Think I'll have to get another cue, the other guy is right, 3 ounces is just too much to add unfortunately. Sucks cuz I am attached to this cue. It was my first cue and I've had it for 10 years now.
Say what you want about him but hes not rattled under the MC pressure. Thats the kind of guys we need. I want a team of Bergman, Sky, SVB (feels pressure but still gets the W's), Earl, and Archer.
Exactly. But see, thats the thing, people should already know these players through Youtube or online streaming. This just proves pool can't succeed on TV because the people that play that game couldn't care less about watching it or learning who the top professionals are.
The problem is that most pool players don't know who Efren is! Now I'm talking about the casuals and league players, but they make up a LARGE majority of the pool scene. Imagine a football player not knowing who TomnBrady is? Or a baseball player not knowing who Alex Rodriguez is? This is the...
Bought a Dufferin, best purchase ever, feel stupid lugging it around without a case tho lol I'll still look silly but hopefully a little less so. Anyone know where I can find one, or even something that would substitute as one?
I'm in South Dakota now for Sturgis. I didn't bring my stick and have been playing a lot at this bar with a stick out of the rack. They are all pretty much brand spankin new, bought in the past month. I'm amazed that I'm playing so much better with it. The hits just seem so much more solid. I...
I have a new one after just listening to the Earl/Efren 9-ball set at Steinway. Tony Robles was commentating and said one time Earl looked at him dead in the eye and said completely serious "I've never missed a shot that was my fault. It's always the table, the balls, or the equipment." :grin:
EDIT: sorry, I should have said mid 00s-2010
What did he do to revive his game? He wasn't bad those years but I'd take todays Earl any day over that era's Earl.
In other words, can you have the same butt your whole life, playing every day, just changing shafts when needed, or does the butt lose something little by little over time?
He can do it twice in a row but he can also miss the scratch a couple times in a row. He always gets the draw. He's so naturally talented. Shame he doesn't really love the game. He'll go months and months without touching a cue, join a league for a session, then quit for a long time again...
My buddy can put the cue ball hanging in one corner pocket, an object ball hanging in the other corner pocket and make the ball and draw the cue all the way back and scratch in the pocket the cue was near originally. On his 9 footer. I thought it was really impressive considering the distance...
