I'll tell ya, I've seen some great shotmakers at those skill levels. What typically keeps them there is the cueball control issue. And I agree about the choice. If I'm coaching my 3's and 4's and realize that the safe is as tough or tougher than the shot, I like to let them go for it...

Jeez...what the hell kind of place are you playing in?? :D

Thanks for the info. I have to find a way to get more into this game. I think I'd enjoy it once I figure out the rules.

I've been reading the posts from the DCC thread and am curious about something. I have picked up the general idea of one pocket, but don't know all the rules yet (not many play it locally). How do you give an 11-7 spot in one pocket? Once the other player gets to 5 or 6, you obviously can't...

I wonder who we could contact to start a campaign to get cues back on the carry on list. If they're allowing scissors and screwdrivers, certainly a cue wouldn't be a problem. I don't fly a lot with my cue, but it would certainly make the trips I do take a lot less stressful knowing my cue was...

I bought mine from Hawley's in Texas. www.hawleys.com Friendly people and good service.

Obviously, the first IPT event was a huge success by all accounts. Now that the dust settled a bit, I was curious what the players thought about the round robin format and the game of 8 ball on the slow cloth. Did players find it easier/harder than they expected? Did they like the change to 8...

Does anyone know why they have cleared all the previous dates and locations from the website? Are they looking to travel more or did they have some type of problem with Orlando?

The reason I saw for the $1000 entry for non-tour members was to keep out the bangers. KT is putting together a tour for the best players. As a league 7, I would definitely throw in $200 for a chance to play against the best. $1000 entry however, would keep me in the stands watching. I think...

I was wondering if anyone at the event could comment on the crowds. I was looking through the image gallery on the IPT site and the audience in some of the photos seemed a bit sparse. Is that because it's a weekday, or are people moving around to watch different matches? They advertised it as...

Where did Marlon Manalo come from? I try to stay up on what's going on, but it seems like he just sort of appeared this past year. Have I been missing something or has he been flying just under the radar? Looking at his results and listening to people talk about him, he seems to be a...

Does anyone know how they determine what group the 15 winners will be in for the 2 day? Is it random draw or some sort of seeding system?

I think it will help with female viewership down the road as well. I know my wife will be more interested because she knows the women players from TV and Valley Forge. Especially if they're winning...

Either their definition of "live scoring" is different than mine, or they are still working out the first tournament kinks. I can't wait to see how these first day scores shake out. It's exciting to think about that much pool talent going head to head in one tournament. Wish I was there!!

I'll be there CeCe. And I know a couple other guys from my area are considering making the trip. I'm looking forward to it!! Scott

I prefer 9 ball, but I'm much stronger at 8 ball. I guess that comes from all the league play. I recently bought a new break/jump cue and have been able to improve my break in 9 ball. It's amazing how much better 9 ball is with a good break. I've been able to break bigger, yet still control...

I realize it was the first one and they are trying to introduce the tour, but I was hoping for more actual pool. I think I saw LJJ take maybe 8 shots the entire hour. Also, get Kevin out of the booth. They put a top player in the booth for analysis and don't let him talk. The video side of...

Try Fox Sports Arizona or something like that. Just about all of them are regional now. Locally, mine is Fox Sports Pittsburgh.

I have a couple: Playing league 8 ball, the player is on the hill and breaking. He tries the 8 ball break from the left side. He hit it well and the 8 went straight in the side. The wierd part is that his tip flew off and landed in front of the corner pocket. You guessed it... The cue ball...
