    Position Drills VS Just Playing

    Repetition For me it's repetition - if I throw the balls out and run them, I may get that one tough shot every few racks, whereas drills I can repeat the same shot until I have it right... b

    APA Rules Question - Intentional Forfeit

    Fair point about depriving someone else a match, and thanks for the rule clarification. I will have enough people to sit this person and still get all five matches in. At that point I would argue that this is simply roster management. Thanks, b

    APA Rules Question - Intentional Forfeit

    Not if I have to have players intentionally lose. So far it's been working out okay to get to regional playoffs, then the teams that truly sandbag make it very very difficult to win to your point.

    APA Rules Question - Intentional Forfeit

    Great advice, I have a four that has only lost 2 matches in 2 sessions coming in second in the MVP rankings and somehow hasn't gone up. I'm sure he's a hair away from the cutover to a 5, and it's inevitable - but I'd prefer to get one playoff match in with him still as a four. I'm concerned...

    APA Rules Question - Intentional Forfeit

    lol.. Believe it or not I won't do that, I don't want anyone on my team(s) sandbagging or dumping games. I manage the handicaps by using all timeouts, playing time as well as matchups. Doesn't really work as well as sandbagging, but I can sleep at night ;) b

    APA Rules Question - Intentional Forfeit

    Hi - I can't find this information anywhere, so I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. What is the rule about intentional forfeits in 9 ball. Example is I have a player available but don't want to risk him going up right before playoffs and take a forfeit for the match rather than play him. Any...

    predator roadline

    I play with an older Roadline with a black forearm paired with a Revo shaft and I like the combination a lot. I tried the Revo on a bunch of butts, none of which felt solid except for the P3 and the Roadline. I also like the position of the wrap, because it is where my hand actually grips the...

    Designing a custom cue - templates?

    I'm designing my own custom cue with the help of an amazing cue-maker. I have some time due to the waiting list and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how I might play with some ideas. Does anyone have photoshop or image templates of a cue and veneers with different woods or is everyone...

    I want to see some hideous cues!

    Take a look at the thread with Dennis O's new Meucci.. Ugliest cue I've ever seen in my humble opinion...

    Dennis Orcollo's new cue

    Yikes, I think it's hideous. I also feel like any cue that costs more than $500 should have sharp points. I realize this is not realistic, so no need to tell me about all the awesome Joss cues or whatever with dull points... To each their own :) b

    APA Main Sponsor U.S.A MC Team

    To be clear, I'm not knocking it at all. I think it's a great thing, I'm hoping that 'main' sponsor means they get some airtime in order to get the exposure it deserves. b

    APA Main Sponsor U.S.A MC Team

    They were the sponsor last year as well right? I recall seeing some sponsorship marketing stuff on Facebook, but that sponsorship did not show up well during the actual matches. To effectively get people in, it should be obvious during the match and breaks that APA has something to do with it... b

    OB Cues DigiCue BLUE - Official Passaround Reviews

    My Review Here's my initial review after a few hours with it... Overall, it's awesome. The feedback level and the shot detection are excellent. Once you've got it seated it goes on securely and comes off without worry about damaging anything. It detected all of my shots without issue and was a...

    Can you change the join in a Revo shaft?

    His extensions are great, however I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to the OP question. I have an extension for my Mezz, and the fit and finish is perfect, but I hate the balance of the cue. Ideally I'd have the inserts in my uni-loc qr revo's replaced with a mezz wavy... b
