The Rack This rack, or the reverse (as noted above in the Rules) is acceptable for "Couples".

I made up a game which is remotely similar to the game "Colors" but sufficiently different that it deserves its own name and rules. Here are the rules: OBJECT OF THE GAME “COUPLES” Colored-pair 8-Ball (“COUPLES”) is played with a cue ball and fifteen object balls, numbered 1 through 15...

the finished project

quit sharkin' During a game of 8 Ball, when I'm on the 8 ball and all set to hit it in a pocket, the opponent reaches into a nearby pocket (within my sight line) and retrieves balls for the next game; or gets the rack out and starts swinging it. Each and every time they do that I ask them if...

Boo hoo, mine doesn't have a pool table, just the little guy standing there with a cue stick.;)

Personal accomplishments My first local tournament win was in 1986 against a field of 32 (?) amateurs. I still have that trophy. On May 2nd, 2014, I shot 105 balls in a row while playing 14.1 On May 7th, I shot 116 balls in a row. On May 10th, I shot 118 balls in a row.

Congratulations It's a great feeling. Now on to a B&R in 14.1! :)

This is very well addressed in Dr. Dave's excellent book. :)

Drat it all! Any time I set a shot up for TOI I can shoot with confidence knowing it'll pot through the center of the pocket. I ran 59 balls yesterday and missed because of a miscue while trying a draw shot where I lunged at the ball. I guess it's time to practice drawing the CB again. :o

A question I've noticed that when the CB and OB are close to one another at angles of around 40 - 45 degrees and I'm shooting all the ways up-table, I have to apply very little TOI and the OB can easily go off course with too much TOI. Am I reading this situation correctly? Thanks in advance.

Meucci I have several Meucci butts and shafts and I love each and every one of them. Right now, I just can't seem to put my "Ultimate Weapon" shaft down long enough to go to my "Black Dot" or my old "Red Dot" or any of my old un-named Meucci shafts. I also really like their "Power Piston"...

Congrats to the Winners and to the Advertisers for their generosity!

If it's a "new" tip, it seems to be missing several layers. I fail to understand why so many layers would be removed from an 11-or-so-layer Moori or Kamui. :confused:

I just bought this table 3 weeks ago and I really like it. The cushions are great and I put new Championship Teflon-treated cloth on it. It's out in my shop where I can play by the hour totally undisturbed. I actually like putting tables together having done three now. My favorite parts are...

Meucci Meucci shafts are great! I super love my "UW"!

Meucci Meucci "Black Dot" and "Ultimate Weapon".

Interesting how you consider C.J's information "nonsense". I consider C.J. a "real instructor" and I also consider him to be "positive", not "negative". I have Dr. Dave's book and I've read through it many, many times. I also have another book on pool and I have all of Tor's dvd's. I have my own...

8 footer I have an 8-foot Brunswick in my home and it gets used every day.

What I've learned from you, so far, is that you're one who seems to have to judge people. I really haven't learned much about pool/billiards from you. But, with so much to read, I may have missed it.:rolleyes:

Enjoy learning on this site I've learned more from CJ than any other on this forum. I've tried and tried his TOI and it finally fell into place after countless hours of practice and I am delighted with the advancement my playing ability has gained as a result of his (and mine) efforts. I do not...
