    Production Cues used by Pro Players

    There would be plenty if they paid them to as a number of other production companies do. I recall that SVB was playing with a Joss butt when he entered the pro scene.

    Just got kicked out from tourney

    Nobody twisted your statements. Easy-e mentioned that many tournaments are no longer available to him because he has been too successful and as a result gotten a fairly high Fargo rating. You then told him that was a good reason that he should have instead intentionally chosen to lose on...

    [WCOP] Team Philippines (Reyes / Biado) Withdraws

    Can you translate this nonsense into something that makes sense? Please read what you wrote out loud if you aren't able to look at it and immediately see what an unintelligible garbled mess it is. You need to get with proof reading your posts first so they can actually be understood. It would...

    What is This?

    According to the probilliardstour.com website, "a group of the top players reunited with former Commissioner Don Mackey to launch a reconstituted PBT". They are planning to "begin producing and distributing an exciting array of new billiards focused content". Some pros advertised as being...

    How to pack your cues on airplane?

    Some of the smaller to mid size locks in your local stores will be TSA locks as well, you just have to look at the front of the packaging and it will say it usually fairly prominently as a selling point if it is. And if the TSA locks aren't mixed in with the rest of the locks they could...

    Do these rules seem confusing to anyone ?

    See Rule 6.11 posted by Bob Jewett in post #30 (quoted and linked to below) as not only does it not say what you are claiming, it says just the opposite. In no uncertain terms it says it is not a foul if "the cue ball crosses the head string before that contact". Crossing the line before...

    Do these rules seem confusing to anyone ?

    The whole area behind the head string is the only way I've ever heard it used my whole life, and I've heard it used a billion times.

    Carbon Fiber Shaft Price Comparison

    Just became aware of Springfield Custom Cues carbon fiber shafts from another thread, $250. https://www.springfieldcues.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=50

    Do these rules seem confusing to anyone ?

    Pretty sure this is what he is trying to ask. Using your diagram from post #16, the cue ball is in the same place, and lets say the object ball is very close to the head spot but anywhere from just barely behind the head string in the kitchen to almost a full ball behind the head string in the...

    Do these rules seem confusing to anyone ?

    Bob showed an easier way to do it in post 16, but at the 1:51 mark in the video below is a good example of another way (at :20, 1:22, 2:23, 2:40, 2:50, and 3:01 are some other examples of essentially the same type of masse shot). It isn't actually as tough as it looks and can be done with the...

    FOUL Called on SVB at the UK OPEN

    Why a call was made wrong is important too though. If it is due to lack of knowledge of the rules, or lack of knowledge of how the balls react, then that is a problem than needs to be addressed and fixed because the person does not know all the things they need to know in order to be a good...

    Guidance on too-close-to-call shots

    That would seem to give the ref too much discretion. For example, the ref in the video in the post below would likely just say "that it was a foul was clear and convincing to me, which is why I called it, so a foul it is" and the rule above as worded would not seem to prevent that line of...

    FOUL Called on SVB at the UK OPEN

    Done, thanks. Hope I'm not inadvertently muddying the waters but the shot referenced in this thread is essentially identical in all the relevant respects to the Marlon Manalo shot (where the ref also made the incorrect call) that you discussed at the 10:47 mark in your video below (you explain...

    Guidance on too-close-to-call shots

    For reasons explained in the post linked to and quoted below, it seems to me that the above two rules aren't precise enough and allow too much room for confusion, misunderstanding, or argument. I would instead suggest replacing them with the following single rule: "if a foul cannot be...

    FOUL Called on SVB at the UK OPEN

    I think the wording of these two leaves room for confusion or argument. As to the first one, the ref that incorrectly called Shane's shot would often just feel and say "I had evidence, my eyes, and I think I saw the cue ball hit the rail before the three and with no second rail contact...

    Pool School Champion Billiards 2 and 3 July 2022

    Where the instructor ads go doesn't bother me much, was just pointing out that your argument, which essentially was that it should be allowed because it was a limited time offer, was not a good one because there are plenty of other limited time offers as well that you aren't wanting to see here...

    FOUL Called on SVB at the UK OPEN

    He also clearly stated regarding the rule he quoted that he was showing were the general idea of "tie goes to the runner" in pool originated from in 1992. In post 40 he is even more clear that the "tie goes to the runner" should be applied in this situation. I really don't know how much more...

    FOUL Called on SVB at the UK OPEN

    Your wording isn't the greatest but if you are saying what it sounds to me like you might be saying then you are also still lacking some basic understanding of the physics of ball collisions and should go through all of Dr. Dave's materials that you can in order to fully acquire that knowledge...
