To clarify the poll, there are still simply two choices, but a zebra striped 8-ball will not be used. So please vote accordingly, the poll is still applicable. Solids / stripes numbered 1-15. 7 red / 7 yellow balls (no numbers) with one solid black ball.

As the title indicates, please provide your thoughts. Thanks, ~Razor The Accu-Stats Invitational will be an 8-ball event. Please see the following thread for more details: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=273887&highlight=Accu-Stats

Edit: Off-topic. I will see if I am smart enough to create another poll/thread regarding the red/yellow/zebra eight ball vs. regular balls.

Equipment Question, too... Along the same lines, I would like to see a poll on the balls to be used. I prefer the regular pattern solid and stripe balls (traditional), but I believe Accu-Stats is planning on using the red/yellow balls without any numbers (or stripes) and either a black or...

They played pool. Pool involves emotions among FIERCE COMPETITORS. Some may hold it in, or express it differently, but the gnawing feeling in the gut is there. Glad we got to see it up close and personal. I do not want a couple of robots or some forced script backed up by an arbitrary "code...

^^^^I read the first couple of pages and found this. ^^^^ My sentiments exactly, so stopped reading any further. Thanks to MainPlayer AND The Hatchetman (and everyone else involved with pulling it off). I will SPEND again... Peace. ~Razor

Truth be known, I would pay double what I paid last time to see the same match-up, same rules, same format, including the mic's. Just have them switch chairs (yes, where they sit). And yes I would buy it for the pool shooting. Great match. Great intensity. I think after three days, they are...

My $0.02 (send change, lol). It it what it is...I bought the PPV and enjoyed all three days of it, because I wanted to enjoy the match and support TAR in the new format. Mission accomplished. Not hard to fade any antics, perceived, real, imagined, whatever, from the recliner. I also have a...

Large screen, good resolution, paying close attention because DH said he couldn't clear the 8 ball so I was watching intently. IMHO, rail first, no rail after contact, bad hit. But, ICBW ...and didn't matter anyway, MD didn't ask for KS to watch. Thanks to JCIN and TAR for a great 3-day show...

Awesome News! Just left a message for Pat, I'm in FOR SURE. Great concept, great venue, PLUS you get all the matches on high quality DVD's. Go back to YouTube and watch some 8-ball tournament matches. This is one of the best games to watch these guys play, IMHO. In my book, only second to...

Thank you for the kind response to my question. I am inclined to think by what LAMas wrote that it sounds complicated, but then again, it is only $45 for a shot? Not much of a gamble there I guess, if I give it an honest shot and it doesn't "take", I am not out much if I can easily go back to...

Thank you for the feedback. Seems like on to "double the distance" and "contact point to contact point" is in order. I think keep it simple (for me) may be best. No need for the steps you mentioned, I think I can see through training and repetition the points needed (but can always be...

metmot, I found this from the rules: "8.2) The player is entitled to any additional balls that are pocketed on a shot, as long as he pockets legally his called ball; the additional balls count the same as the called ball." Hope this helps, and I agree, it is good for charting personal...

Well, I must be a glutton for punishment, lol, but I have read every post in this thread (nearing 800 now I suspect). From that, I cannot say I have learned anything new about aiming, at least that I can put a finger on... ;) I do not post in areas that I am not familiar with, so I have no...

I think it will really help my game, also. I ran through ten racks last night (my new daily minimum) and scored a 125. That was with 6 out of 10 total rack clearances, so I (and now everyone else) can tell that I am switching from the random to the rotation phase too late. And other racks I...

No, not that I'm aware of...and I have been there 8-10 times. :shakehead: My family likes to "vacation" there, obviously. Check out Lambert's on 65 if you like to eat. Best wishes, ~Razor

In six months, I can honestly say I think it will be this... http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=85753

And a good reason when playing safety to leave your hanger 2-3 inches outside of the pocket and not on a straight in angle, but sitll covering up a large portion of the hole, and hopefully blocking 1 or maybe 2-3 of your opponents balls. Makes the follow-in as noted above almost impossible to...

Thanks, Rod. Wow, that's some average. I was able to eek out 7 randoms and 8 rotations for a single inning 23 today. A perfect 30 seems awful elusive for me right now. :smile: Peace.

Soldiers Don't start picking off your own soldiers until you can "see" your way completely out. For example, if I can't see a highly probable way to get out, I may merely start my inning (after establishing solids/stripes) by placing one of my soldiers in a pocket where it is convenient for...
