    Calcutta question

    More in golf than pool, for me, but I’ve been in Calcuttas where you were expected to buy half of yourself. If you didn’t, you were queering the whole deal. It was more than just frowned upon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    8 ball vs 9 ball

    Got interrupted during my last post, so to continue; I have always loved the different tables for 8-ball. Each player is playing a different table and that is what I love about 8-ball. Unfortunately, 9-ball is the gamble game, other than 1-pkt, and we don’t gamble on 8-ball as often. Only...

    8 ball vs 9 ball

    I play more 9-ball and am probably better at 9-ball but prefer to play 8-ball. I grew up in the 60’s and we thought straight pool, over 8-ball, was the game good players played. 9-ball wasn’t very popular and we were more likely to play full rack rotation than 9-ball. Sent from my iPhone...

    Is Hennessey considered top ( ) gambling?

    IMO, yes. As far as gambling and being in action, he may be just behind Chohan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cues that play similar to Southwest Cues

    This is the second time recently, that I’ve seen “a-joint” referenced. What part of the joint is the a-joint?

    Bought the new plastic template to line up pool balls for practice

    I’m not understanding what this tool does. Wouldn’t any straight edge accomplish the same thing? Couldn’t you get the same result with a 2x4, broom handle, yard stick or a cue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who was in the wrong?

    Not a bad idea. Maybe we need a thread placing the players in the “heel” category or the “baby face” category. [emoji1787][emoji41][emoji2957] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Electronic pool product question regarding USB Chargers

    I am 62. IMO, do not add a charger. USB-C is the right option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    speed of pool shots?

    FWIW, I did a trial run with the Predator break app. My breaks are between 17-20 mph and that same spot shot, shooting my normal speed to make the object ball, was between 3.5 and 4.5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cue brand

    Maker: McDermott Why: Fairly random choice made, in the mid 80’s, from the cues I could afford. Matter of fact, it was the top end of what I could afford. Have played with them since, because my talent hasn’t outrun their quality. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Should the elbow of the bridge hand ever rest on the table or rail?

    IMO, anytime you can comfortably rest your forearm/elbow on the table, you should. Watched Morra tell a player he was helping that it is beneficial to stabilize yourself where you can and I agree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    John Morra vs Tyler Styer race to 30 livestream

    IMO, Morra is playing the best pool, of his pool playing career. Even by his own admission, he is better now than he was as a right handed player. His Fargo Rate also supports that opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
