I have a few Ginas but my league cue is a Dale Perry. I just don't want one of my expensive cues to get knocked over or grow legs and go for a hike on league night and I don't want to have to watch it like a hawk all night. I use my Ginas at home and for tournaments or money games.

It makes sense it is not a foul until the player is in the act of shooting otherwise when is the ball considered "in play"? For example, you have BIH and put the CB down then decide on another shot and pick it up to position it elsewhere. If it was like golf that as soon as you drop it or place...

I always call them as well. I like to double check that whatever items I'm including in my order are actually in stock and ready to ship.

At league I often direct newer players to these videos on your website just for that purpose. If a picture is worth a thousand words, your videos are worth ...:thumbup:

And darts. :grin-square:

I think Freddie and Dave covered it. The issue is the double hit foul. When the balls are very close together a normal stroke will usually result in a double hit. When they are frozen a normal stroke does not usually result in a double hit and that's why it is legal to use a normal stroke...

I thought about that a fan boycott wouldn't help the players get paid and in fact would probably hurt those chances, but this has been going on forever. A couple of people posted that if the players show up this year it's on them. I've been at that point now for several years. If you want to...

The part of the discussion I don't get is everyone getting their panties in a bunch over this and exclaiming that if the players show up next fall it's on them. Why now, why this year? This has been going on forever, except the one year the funds were escrowed. And I'm reading this from...

Or if you're at Hard Times, Lil' Al. LA is kinda a big place, may help to be a little more specific on the location.

From Roberta on 1/30: Hmmmmmmm. :embarrassed2::shakehead::rolleyes:

I'm not sure either. My understanding is host committees are allowed to choose one or two exhibition sports but I'm not sure if they provide a list to the IOC who then approves it or tells them which on the list are acceptable. I guess it's also possible the IOC isn't involved in approving the...

Are you sure about this? If so, they have enough. It looks to me like they need 10,000 signatures. According to the website right now they already have 7,939 but it appears they are looking for 2,061 more. Also, what's the current status? If I read this correctly, this is to petition the...

10 gets spotted and player continues shooting because he legally pocketed a called shot. It's covered under 9.9 of the World Standardized Rules for 10 Ball:

For me the advantages of using a good break cue even if not breaking 100% is that for any given speed I will get more transfer of power. To the extent that my control goes down the harder I break, this let's me get more control at any given speed. Or put another way, I can dial down a bit...

I'm not sure the way I explained it was completely clear so let me confirm. If you do not inform him he's on two and he fouls a third successive time it does not count as a third foul. But he is still on two, not back to zero. ;)

I think those BCA rules are old and out of date. My understanding is the BCA essentially did away with their own rule set and adopted the WPA rules in their entirety. If you go to the BCA home page and get to the rules through there, all of them are straight from the WPA and are actually on WPA...

It seems perhaps this discussion is somewhat dependent on what you mean by easier? On a bar box certainly the increased congestion complicates things to some extent. But wouldn't this same traffic also make safety play and ducking for cover easier? One often used reason for mitigating the 526...

Under World Standardized Rules, 3 fouls is covered under fouls for all games that have a three foul rule, straight pool included. You must inform the player he is "on two" when he comes to the table. If you fail to notify him and he fouls again the fouls do not reset but he is still considered...

Well yeah, that covers most play but there may be occasions when the cue ball is on the rail. Some players bridge with only the fingertips on the outer edge of the rail (the palm of his hand hovering above the floor). In situations like this a 58" cue could be hitting the wall. Even a wall 5'...

I suppose the host city/country gets to pick one or two demonstration sports, but as for any cue sport making it into the the Olympics on any other basis it ain't gonna happen for a long while...if for no other reason than there is a moratorium on adding any new sports to the summer games. So...
