    Foul / No Foul?

    If he was shooting straight at the 10 ball and the cueball travelled forward like that I would call a foul. However, he was cutting the 10 ball way to the right so it makes total sense that the cueball would go forward. i would definitely call it a good hit.

    JoeyA's Aiming System

    Great poem Joey, fortunately, we have both made it to the late hour. I do use the system you are talking about, at times, to great results, especially on very thin cuts. I use a number of different aiming systems depending on the shot needed. I know there is some controversy whether aiming...

    JoeyA's Aiming System

    Haha. I hope you are only 13 now because if you think contact induced throw is going to help to make the shot I referenced you have a lot to learn. You are already missing to the right of the pocket so if throw is added you will miss more right. On a 45 degree cut shot the center of the...

    JoeyA's Aiming System

    Hi Joey: Your graphics are a little off on the shot on the left. A half ball hit as illustrated would undercut the ball every time. The green line should end up more to the right for a quarter ball cut to make the shot. Sounds like a simple system. Some day I will try to explain how I aim...

    Fight Night 20 November 8th-10th Danny Smith vs Justin Bergman

    Duh! He has only won about 10 tournaments in the last 2 years + $40,000 for the DCC Master of the Table in 2015 and 2016. You would have to be blind to rarely see him win anything.

    Oscar Left Out of Mosconi Cup... Again

    Sorry but that is ridiculous (of course it is your opinion so it is OK to be have a ridiculous opinion which doesn't seem ridiculous to you). You mention Archer, at 24 he was a decent player. He peaked in his mid 30's. He went from a way less than Oscar speed at 24 to an Archer speed in his...

    Oscar Left Out of Mosconi Cup... Again

    In my opinion, expecting the players who didn't make the team to go to England was ridiculous. If I was in that position I wouldn't go either and i think it was dumb to expect them to. They are high level competitors that didn't make the cut. If someone doesn't understand that then they have...

    What happens here?

    Funny. I had the same thing happen a number of years back when playing Hollywood Jack some 1 pocket. I did foul and called it on myself and went to spot a ball. Jack said "No FOUL". I said I did foul. He said "You can't call a foul on yourself unless I agree it is a foul". I said OK. Then...

    True Double Elimination vs Extended Game Single Elimination Match

    That is some really weird logic.

    Who Would You Vote In To the 1Pocket HOF

    John Henderson is highly respected in the one pocket community. He is known as an all around nice guy who does a lot to promote 1 pocket. He is the reigning Super Senior 1 pocket champion. He has been in action forever. He has an excellent record in the Northern California monthly...

    True Double Elimination vs Extended Game Single Elimination Match

    It depends on how someone looks at it. I think the path Shane had to take to win was way more difficult. His final record 12 wins 1 loss (with no easy opponent). 138 games won. Chang 7 wins 1 loss. 86 games won. Seems fair that SVB is the winner. I have been in the finals of hundreds of...

    Let's Make Sure There's a One Pocket Hall of Fame Dinner This Year @ DCC!!

    Ding Ding Ding. WRONG! The comparison was checkers is to chess like 9 ball is to one pocket. Of course chess is nothing like 1 pocket (you don't even have to get our of your chair). And checkers is nothing like 9 ball (in checkers you are trying to jump all over the place, 9 ball not so...

    Let's Make Sure There's a One Pocket Hall of Fame Dinner This Year @ DCC!!

    That's cool, 9 ball is like playing checkers, 1 pocket is like playing chess. A lot of people with brilliant minds like chess, probably more people like checkers (no brilliant mind required but it is much faster). To each their own.

    Sorry I didn't really follow much of your back and forth. Glad it was worth it but I think most everyone was aware that his postings were weird and he got sent to jail in the members section, too bad you were his cellmate.

    Let's Make Sure There's a One Pocket Hall of Fame Dinner This Year @ DCC!!

    It would be pretty dumb of me to think you would want to post there. Of course I never said that. I would be a clown if I thought you would subject it to a vote, of course I never suggested you should do that. I knew Freddie was dying before Billy posted it on the forum or his daughter posted...

    Let's Make Sure There's a One Pocket Hall of Fame Dinner This Year @ DCC!!

    To set the record a little straighter on the 3 regular posters who were banned from 1p org forum: 1. Cowboy Dennis - a good contributor at 1p org a lot of the time but a massive hater at other times reached a point of critical mass when he attacked Billy Incardona with a very hateful message...

    Haa haa haa! If Steve represented civility and had to give Lou a civility spot it would the 2 out and the breaks and 6 games in a race to 7. I am kind of surprised Lou can even use the word civility in a sentence.

    Anyone reading this should know that Steve is way beyond fair before removing the sh... disturbers. Lou stepped over the line several hundred times before he was finally removed. His constant knocking and unprovoked attacks reached a critical point before he was finally removed to the relief...

    What type of person would throw their hands up and yell in celebration after a miss?

    Don't worry about it you will never be in that position. The funny thing was Dennis chalked up 5 times on the ball before and that ball right before the miscue.

    yesterday (9/10) was a sad day for billiards!

    The odds of the 2 going in the called pocket and Earl pretending that is what he was trying to do = 1 in 747,000,000.
