There are so many leaps of logic in there that it is laughable. At 10,000 hours (or literally any other amount of hours you want to use) there is still a wide disparity in the ability level of all those people who have put in that amount of time, even when they have put in similar work and...

Yes, the site owner already moved it for you and it is indeed now in the main forum. All is good.

So part of your definition is that if you do not contract with another company to make any of the cues that carry your brand name then you are not a production company? Am I understanding that correctly? What do you think about the cue makers using blanks made by others, does that put them in...

Well yes and no. I think you are likely right when talking about the theoretical limit as few people ever put in enough effort to reach their theoretical limit to begin with because it just isn't practical to do so and few have the drive to do it even if it was. I do think talent adds a...

Here is my recent post on the topic that I think answers the question truthfully and accurately: "The simple answer is yes, it more or less is as simple as that [that talent level makes the difference in how great you will be compared to others] if/when everybody has the same drive and is...

He wrote an instructional pool column for Billiards Digest magazine for many years, has been a recognized valuable participant in online pool forums for decades, ran the straight pool challenge at the Derby City Classic for many years, is widely considered a top authority on just about all...

This is a topic that has been covered a ton over the years. The two options that by far make the most sense in my opinion and are the most cost effective are to get a rolling duffel bag that will fit your cue case as well as all the rest of your clothes and everything else you need, or get a...

What definition are you using for "production cue company" that would put Viking and McDermott as production but not Joss?

It was definitely a Joss butt and I believe it is the cue he was using at the time he was breaking into the pro level scene and getting more widely known and is the one I was thinking of. He didn't play with it for too much longer after that but as I recall he had already been playing with it...

I corrected some misinformation on here as gets done here many, many times a day, and it was done cordially. You expressed that you weren't able to understand it. I took the time to try to explain it, a couple of times, again very cordially. Then you got all snooty for no reason whatsoever...

Yup, the person that does actually understand was the one giving you the "advice" on the thing you clearly and admittedly don't understand. Only an idiot would see a problem with that. What else you got to indicate more of your cluelessness this morning?

It is obviously over your head. Just because you aren't able to understand the difference between the two things doesn't mean that it isn't huge and important. And then you try to go and pass judgement on something you clearly don't understand which even you should be able to see is not too...

It's one of those things that some people would have to take a bit to think out. Let me see if I might be able to explain it in a way that might be more readily apparent. He said over 70% of players could not tell the difference between joints in the test, which means that 30% of players could...

All the pool promoters as well as leagues etc are businesses, not charities. They are there to do the best for themselves, not somebody else, and as such they are competitors by definition and necessity. While it can sometimes benefit all the competing businesses in a sector to work together...

With more quality free match content out there than anybody could watch in a lifetime I highly doubt their library of tournament matches is all that valuable. Sure, many people would love to see it, but I doubt many would be willing to pay to see it. I also highly doubt they are going to...

Their having a house does not ensure you will collect on a judgement. If they ever go to finance another house that can help your odds because finance companies often but not always want the debts showing on you credit report paid off as part of the conditions for financing you, but I don't...

Exactly what I said. It was not 70% of the players that could not tell what joint was on what cue as the poster I responded to had said, but rather it was essentially 100% of the players that did not have any statistically significant success being able to pick out which joints were on which...

As I recall it was 100% of the players who could not tell what joint was in what cue, as in nobody demonstrated any statistically significant massive success with being able to tell which joints were on which cues. It was 70% of the individual guesses that were wrong which is a different thing...

I think it was a Joss butt but he did have a Schon shaft on it for a while.

While I 100% agree that it shouldn't have to be Matchroom's responsibility to verify certain players are actually going to have their visa's in order and show up etc, if it is going to have a strong enough negative impact on their business then the only prudent choice is that they absolutely...
