I am still looking for the answer to this question from the players that are in support of call nine. What is, or what should the rule be, when the 9 is the only ball pocketed and it was not the called pocket? PORTER

I don't know Mike I have seen more than a few 9 balls spotted up in the past few years that we have had this rule , and by some pretty good players. Most often when a 1 rail turns into a 2 rail, or when a tough break out is being shot. Double kiss........ Our rule is that if the 9 goes in...

There is a debate in our state association as to which to use. I am in Arkansas. What leagues or tournements are using the call 9? What are the most widely used rules? BCA? Texas Express? Our state has been playing call 9 for several years and there is a debate on wheather to keep it or go...

The rule says touching the table by the coach during a time out is a foul and ball in hand. He touched it as he rounded the corner walking back to set down, away from the shot. I didn't even see it happen. O well, beers on me... LOL

I had a rule that came up in a BCA team tournement Saturday that I need some help on. 8 Ball, I am shooting and have a couple of options on how to get out, so I call time out and ask another player on my team, my 'designated coach' as I understand it, his opinion. We discuss the options and...

back to school Bobby Earl (Squirl) getting run over by a guy named Jimmy who was running with Scotty Townsend. It was at the Rack tourny in Memphis about 4 yrs ago. Jimmy kept beating Bobby and kept giving him more and more weight. Jimmy, "Do you wanna play again?" Bobby, "I don't know. What...

What is the correct way to shoot the shot when 2 balls are froze on the spot and you wish to force the front ball to your pocket. I have heard and used several variations of english and ball placement. My best results have been about 1.25 dots over and about 1.5 dots up with a lot of draw...

The Player is now an older gentleman, that is well known and well respected. In his late 70's. He said he did it many years ago, took his money and left. He was not proud of it. The story came up when he had me in the same position. He did advise me against ever using the 'move'. I have...

I was told of a shot that I would like someone to tell me the correct ruling. Player "A" needs one ball and he has one jawed up in his pocket. It is Blayer "B's" shot and there are several balls left on the table that make a foul shot by scratching or jumping the table a poor choice for player...

ball in hand There is no doubt that the popularity of 9 ball is based on the shot making aspect. Your typical spectator does not care to watch a defensive game. I believe it is all about the "time value of money." And the KISS system. Did I heard somewhere that TV is where the "ball in...

Have any of the major sanctioning bodies, or tours, ever tried to set table specs? Or at least recommend some? You know like the detailed stuff..... I have often wondered if there is a standardized specification for a table. It looks like the major tours choose a brand of tables based on...

I would think it would be succesful if you had a time set that members knew to visit. Maybe limit it to members only. Also if some of the better known players were to host a Q & A sesion that could be interesting. Porter

Is a chat room a possibility on this site? Porter

Arkansas is where I 'are' I don't feal as frustrated about our tournements after reading these posts. Open tournements have about gone away unless you advertise and get road players to come in. Then a lot of the locals pull up. A 32 man field is special any more. As far as handicap...

David I know what depth perception is. My question is how it applies to a pool player. My point is, A one eyed person with no depth perception that walks over to judge the distance correctly is doing what the two eyed person should do. Is being one eyed an obstical or an advantage? Or...

I know several players that have only one eye. They all play rather well. Well enough that I have thought about buying a patch. ha ha I am right handed but my left eye is my strong eye. When I line up under my left eye my stance and body position feals wrong. How is depth perseption...
