    Emily Frazer making a lot of sense

    Emily has made sense, since the beginning. Thanks to her willingness to interview, and she has interviewed often, we get a great insight into Matchroom's vision. I think it is because of her and a couple of very good podcasters, other industry leaders have publicly interviewed. Not to hijack...

    Players Attempting to Unionize?

    I think I’ve read all the posts in this thread but I hope I’m not repeating a thought that has already been discussed. I’m 61 and have been a pool fan/player for 50+ years. We are experiencing an incredible advancement in professional pool, like I have never seen. Matchroom, CSI with Predator...

    Your dumbest question

    “Sure I’ll play. Whatcha wanna do?” There has been more than few times, after the smoke cleared, I thought the above was a very stupid question on my part. I should have just said, “Nah, Ima practice a while and go eat dinner.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WWYD 9 Ball Pro

    Probably use the 3 ball to try and tie up the 5/6, while leaving the 3 on the rail, by the nipple of the side pocket. Giving up BIH would give OO a good opportunity to solve both problems with his first shot but I'm hoping to get lucky anyway. Kicking to the bottom rail is a sell out even...

    WWYD 8 ball

    Stop shot on the 9, stop shot 11 to the bottom left, follow the 15 to bottom right for position on the 14, played to bottom left, and go around the 7/2 for position on the 10, top right and play the eight in the same pocket as the 15. That's my first, quick thought.

    Value McDermott D-9???

    Just my .02. Restored it’s worth about $425 on the top side. As is maybe $325. D-series cues are good cues but not heavily sought nowadays. Most of us that want one probably already have one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    JUMP SHOT in Pool … Everything You Need to Know

    Me too. I’ve never made much effort to protect my cloth against breaking or jumping and yet, my home cloth is still better than most of the public tables I play on. [emoji15]

    JUMP SHOT in Pool … Everything You Need to Know

    I also liked your dart stroke instruction and plan to make use of the "anchoring your elbow" tip.

    JUMP SHOT in Pool … Everything You Need to Know

    Great video! I agree that keeping your personal "vision center" in alignment is required, however, that can be very difficult. I struggled finding the head position that actually put my "vision center" in alignment with the shot. It took a lot of time, experimenting, practice and patience...

    WWYD 8 ball

    I still think the 2 ball is the problem ball for a run out. If I can’t shoot the 2 first, or get position to shoot it with my second shot, I’m gonna start bunting balls around and play a defensive game. The three open balls up table give some nice options, once the 2 is gone. Sent from my...

    Replacement Shaft fot McDermott G206?

    I agree that it’s not that simple. The collar measurement will most likely be .855” or 843”. My G-Series is .855” and that may be what most of them are but it is no guarantee. The only way to know for sure is to measure your collar. Your pin, if original, is definitely a 3/8x10. McDermott has...

    9 ball is here to stay correct?

    For the record, I’m in complete agreement with everything you’ve said. I’m even a fan of call shot/call safe for taking more luck out of certain games. Your points are the same points I have frequently used, in an effort, to keep 10 ball from becoming a watered down version of 9 ball. Different...

    9 ball is here to stay correct?

    I agree with letting 10 ball be a more regulated version of 9 ball. No early 10, call shot and a bit more difficult break makes it a different game for most of us average players. And still entertaining to watch or play. However, I’ve mostly seen 10 ball played as call shot not call shot/call...

    I hope I have attached the link below correctly. It has some information about the shaft differences and addresses G Series specifically. https://forums.azbilliards.com/posts/6746065
