Yes, I blew it by saying “inside English.” Please ignore that entirely. What I meant to say/describe is “transferred gearing English” that would throw the 9 ball in the direction of the corner pocket in question. Maybe there is a semantics hangup here? Do you disagree with the thought that...

Thanks for the reply. Let’s consider a scenario involving two frozen balls, the 1 ball and the 9 ball, located some distance from a given corner pocket, perhaps in the center of the table. The player wishes to pocket the 9 ball in that corner pocket by striking the 1 ball. The 1 ball and 9...

Dr. Dave - Thank you for your continuing excellent work. The fact that you do this without charge, for the betterment of the game and the enjoyment of fellow players, is remarkable. One question: I’m curious why you did not address combining CIT and SIT, whether to offset one or the other...

Actually, we are headed directly toward being like Italy, precisely because we were not prepared and didn’t react quickly and smartly. Perhaps you did not read about it, but in 2018 Trump eliminated the office of global health security within the NSC...

THIS. And we have a wholly self-absorbed con man at the helm who spent this past weekend playing golf with professional baseball players and political fundraising. Oh, and putting out messages that the virus really isn’t that bad and he’s doing a fabulous job.

This is his earlier analysis: Originally Posted by BC21 View Post Exactly. The latest total of confirmed coronavirus cases is around 121,000 worldwide. Around 4,300 people have died from it. That seems alarming, especially if you listen or watch too much fear-mongering news. The insinuation...

Well, the Spanish flu, for example, was certainly scary. And for good reason. As for seasonal flu, that term describes a whole set of viruses and strains of viruses. The vaccines that are developed every year are designed to address the viruses and strains that are emerging and expected. In...

Brian - The big picture that is painted by the article is that this particular virus, due it being new (the public has zero immunity to it), will overwhelm the health care system of even wealthy, western societies if not mitigated. The seasonal flu impact spans over the course of a half year...

The regular flu does not cause this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/coronavirus-italian-doctor-says-fighting-covid-19-outbreak-is-like-war-11954229 There is no reason to think that the coronavirus is not already spreading in the US the way it did in northern Italy...

Here’s a link to a 2011 article in the Tampa Bay Times about Ray’s induction and his win over Ortmann. Pretty neat stuff. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tampabay.com/archive/2011/09/04/it-was-a-very-good-day-for-ray/%3foutputType=amp

Thanks, Jay.

What was the occasion, and what is the patch on their jackets?

Yes, he was terrific in these 8 ball matches in 2005. Now, for those who haven’t seen it, here he is in 2011, in his mid-70’s, taking out the then-defending champion of the World 14.1 Tournament - Oliver Ortmann. If you like to watch straight pool, you will be in heaven watching this match...

Apologies! Typo. Now corrected.

Yes. You and I agree, as does Trent, that Glen treated a customer (and seemingly nice guy) flat out badly. And we all agree that Glen is making things much worse, not better. And we all agree that Glen needs help, because, obviously, he is not proving himself able to deal with this as he...

Actually, not on the money, and not fair on your part. Trent clearly said that Glen is in the wrong here and is going to have to pay for it. What he contested was the claim that Glen had not helped others. I think that if you pause and think on it for a minute, you will agree that most people...

Please take the political message to the Non Pool Related section.

It did happen to me. Scratches that were very noticeable, and they were right in the area of the shaft that you’d be touching with most shots. Right then and there I sought out a better mousetrap. Found out about the justa bridge, bought one and man am I happy with it. 100% endorsement.

Interesting advice from Mr. Eckert. Thanks for posting.

Dr. Dave - It was also liberating to watch this video of yours. For two reasons. First, my stance is, or is closest to, the classic pool stance that you demonstrate. But unlike Mark Wilson, on whose written instruction I had built my stance, you advise that the right foot should be on the...
