    Rules question for most any game...

    I am not sure it can ever be both. Once you pull the ball from the pocket, the OB ball is either going to fall in ore not...resting or not. But ANDREW, I have no idea what the deal is if it is too close to tell, before you remove the ball from the pocket. One thing is for sure, if this is the...

    Rules question for most any game...

    BTW, I am a big guy and I can get from corner to corner on a slow rolling shot. It really is not that hard.

    Rules question for most any game...

    Well, that is how I see it, but I was just wondering. Heaven forbid somebody did knock a ball on the table and pick it back up before interfering or something like that. I was just curious how you guys saw this. Thanks for the comments!

    Niels

    Niels is one of my all-time favorites! This was a real treat. Thanks so much for sharing this....I did not know this happened back in March of 2002. It seemed he got tentative around 98 and 190, but hell, who wouldn't? LOL I thought it was interesting how many time his break shot went...

    Rules question for most any game...

    I was just sitting here thinking and wondered... If a player (let's say they are playing 14.1 for our example) hits a slow roller to a pocket, looks up and sees, the pocket is full. Is he allowed to run around and take a few balls out before that ball gets there? AND what would happen to the...

    What is your favorite shot for...

    A quick note on this shot David. High-right English will get this done with some consistency. I've even made this shot once going the long rail, but it was a "just for fun" game. :)

    Nice find at Barnes & Noble

    Actually, you should get both of Freddy's books, becasue they both have great stories in them. Hell, you get some great banking instructions at no extra cost too, what a steal! ;) ALSO...DO NOT MISS Amarillo Slim Preston's book, In a World Full of Fat People. You will not be sorry. :cool:

    What is your favorite shot for...

    You know what is so funny? A really good player asked me how I would shoot this shot. I looked at it and did what I showed. I looked up and he was standing there with his mouth open when I went up and over and said, "umm, yeah, that is a great way out of that, but umm what I was going to show...

    What is your favorite shot for...

    Getting Out of Trouble. There are certain situations that we have all gotten in and we have found creative ways of getting out of them. What are some of your favorites? Not everyone can use the new cuetable...although I found their instructions to be great. (Today was my first real attempt at...

    Background noise when you play?

    Hind sight is always 20/20...I forgot about Jazz and Rap! SORRY EVERYONE! With only 10 choices aloud, it was tough to narrow this down. Now after seeing some early results, maybe they should have been in there instead of Talk Radio and Classical, but heck until you do a poll, how could you know? :)

    Background noise when you play?

    Room Owners may care... The problem with choosing more than one with the polls is that the percentages will be skewed, but I think this should turn out to be an interesting thing? This maybe particularly interesting to Pool Room Owners. I like having the Jukebox there if I want to play...

    Background noise when you play?

    Guess who's back... could it be fast larry

    He has proved one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt....He proved using the Internet anyone can create a legend. :eek: How many people can honestly say they have never heard of the guy. Many right? but I wonder what the real world percentage would come out as? Using the overly used "Fast"...

    "measles" cueball

    My take is that measles cueball is one of the best inventions of recent times for our sport, because it helps beginners learn at a much faster rate. I say this, due to the fact that it is easier to see what someone is doing to the cue ball as far as spin goes. When I was younger, I had to see...

    Cue Shaft Cleanliness

    No VD on my shaft I like to keep my shaft protected and clean. No VD on my shaft....Visual Discolorization. ;) Magic Eraser to clean it, buff it dry with a paper towel, Use leather to burnish it a little and throw on some cue silk. That's it for me!

    best cue in $100 range

    The $100 Cure! (This one is not in KT's Book) When you want a cue for under a hundred bucks, start cheap and customize it for yourself. That will really stretch your dollars. :) I could be crazy here, but I think most Sneaky Petes (Players, or whatever plain wood designe you can find) is a...
