    Pagulayan vs Morra - Live

    Correct, as I understand it. Too much pain from years of twisting into a pretzel to get proper alignment.

    Pagulayan vs Morra - Live

    During his hiatus last year he played exclusively lefty in local events here. He went back to righty when he came back, but I has now had to switch back.

    Pagulayan vs Morra - Live

    His vision centre caused him to twist his body to align his stroke. The accumulated strain of that caused too much pain to continue to play righty. You will see that lefty he’s got a perfect natural alignment.

    Canadian Eight Ball Championship

    During John's hiatus last year he continued to play in local events, but only left-handed. The issue on one of pain he feels due to his alignment (being cross dominant). He has now gone back to lefty. He beat some good Quebec pros in an event a little while ago. This event will be a big...

    Opponents with headphones

    I wear them. It helps me drown out bad music, annoying people talking non-stop, sharking opponents, etc. I do try to pay attention, however.

    Seeing FARGORATE stuff makes me wonder

    I think I had a discussion on here with Mike about women and 10b and my recollection is that Mike acknowledged that the 10b break could be an issue in trying to compare women’s ratings (based almost exclusively on 9b) with men’s if they were to play 10b. I know you said men, but wanted to make...

    Seeing FARGORATE stuff makes me wonder

    I would be interested in the data about Siming Chen, although only one event doesn't give a lot of data. Mike has posted an analysis of Karen Corr's results (she plays in lots of men's events) and her rating is almost identical if you use just her men's results and just her women's results...

    Seeing FARGORATE stuff makes me wonder

    But to win the event the 500 player will have to beat a bunch of great players and their odds against doing that are very poor. It’s the same reason that the pros in the 700-750 range can and do beat the top players in a tournament from time to time but don’t go on to win the US Open - they can...

    Seeing FARGORATE stuff makes me wonder

    "Could" win, maybe. Has a real chance to win, probably not. Even the most severe handicap selection of the fair-match system deliberately favours the stronger player. So my money is still on Shane, Alex, Dennis etc.

    Seeing FARGORATE stuff makes me wonder

    To add to that, Lyn is missing two points made in this thread: 1. There WAS a big gender-blind FargoRate tournament (the Western BCA) held recently, where they did away with the former division between men's and women's divisions and did it only on skill and the results do support the Fargo...

    Cleaning a JB Rugged Case Interior

    I can report that the JB sleeve things work just fine in my old Instroke case (even over a roll-on rubber wrap).

    Let's Get the TSA to Change Its Policy on Pool Cues

    Good luck with this endeavor. When I go to the Derby, I am always struck by the fact that the airport sells small Louisville Slugger bats that are TSA approved for carry on and make a far more effective weapon than a pool cue ever could. But I suspect that some Senator or Congressperson from...

    Dumb derby city question

    I did last year after just watching the few years before. Lots of bad players like me entering for the experience and because (as mentioned) it is about the same as the admission. Go for it.

    Why are Orcollo and Arenas not in the Pro Event at SBE?

    Did Walmart Guy play him even?? He was clearly playing well when I saw him in the action room but I wouldn’t have thought he could beat Aranas even.

    Why are Orcollo and Arenas not in the Pro Event at SBE?

    If I were cynical, I would wonder if Dennis let him win a set (being best two out of three) to keep him coming back. Not that any pool player would ever do such a thing.

    Why are Orcollo and Arenas not in the Pro Event at SBE?

    Based on the action I saw Dennis getting in the Action Room, I'm sure it was a better result for him. When I walked in, Dennis was spotting a guy 14-3 in 1p and stealing.

    SBE Pro 10-Ball

    Thanks for sharing that. I don't know how to share to AZ when doing FB live when I've only got the one device. And I'm glad to see no complaints on here about the stream. I do know it was hard to see what was happening when showing both tables, but with my fellow Canadian Britanny in the...
