In APA it's legal to use the chalk cube as a target, but you cannot use it to mark (draw) on the cloth. "No one is allowed to mark the cloth in any way, including, but not limited to, using chalk to draw a line or wetting a finger to dampen the cloth. Teams may be subject to sportsmanship...

Hilarious! Although I first read "personal benefit and permanent development" as "...detriment". :confused:

Thank you, BA, but my asking for "considerations" was more like "compensations", as my personal playing style/technique is not a traditional one. I only sometimes stand far back from a shot to 'see' it, as I more see/imagine the shot line, get my cue on it, and the get down to shoot--often, I...

It's likely that most members do not stray outside the Main Forum, and CTE has been beaten to death in the Aiming section. Since later in this thread you show that you have already web-searched on the topic, I'd think you would have a fair idea of the system, but maybe this will help.... The...

Fran and Bob, thank you for the replies. It seems that as long as the standing-aiming part of the PSR is solid, and the player can get on the shot line, then the downward sighting is not an issue--or at least not one that is any different from another, in requiring practice/repetition to...

Instructors--When you work with a student that has a high stance, with their head like a foot or more(!) over their cue, and due to body size/shape simply getting lower is not an option, do you alter any of your teaching of fundamentals to accommodate--what are your considerations?

#4 maybe? http://www.sfbilliards.com/miscellaneous.htm

Indeed, most leagues are team-oriented. For example, your APA team has to win a regular session/season, then play "Tri-cup" events against teams from other areas. I always think there's another round, but can't recall--"Cities" maybe? Anyway, after those events a winning team goes to Vegas...

Right now, Mueller's page shows "In-Stock", but you can't trust everything you see on the internet....

My mistake--I sit at an angle to the monitor on which I view the forum, and the dot was (is) close enough to center that the combination made me view it as in the center. Thanks, for the correction.

The inset cue ball showed a little follow on the 1B, but the result looks like you got a bit of left spin. I only comment on this, because per the diagram I thought it looked like center-top would have hit the 9. With the same speed it probably would have still sent the CB on a good line to...

IMO, the "Ninety-nine percent" number is the professors making a throwaway comment. And while I mostly just scanned the article, right after that comment *he* immediately counters with basically the opposite claim--at least, specifically for "visual spatial perception". And while that guy is...

I should have realized, you've got an answer for everything--and I mean that in a good way! Also, I should have complimented you on another great idea for content, and the execution, regardless of my nit-pick. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to plan, film, and edit videos. High...

I often see the 8 left as a duck in/near the jaws of one of the foot corners, with the 9 in/around the foot spot. No example for that setup? I mean, not the hardest to position (assuming a plan to pot the 9 in one of the foot corners), but it seems most lines wind up "crossing the wedge/pie...

I've been there, in the way that you convince yourself of being safe from the scratch, and yet find your best laid plan going astray! Btw, nice work with the Chalkysticks pad.

I was just going for a hit on the 8, and not a light touch safety. And since I planned for the cue ball to come off the second cushion, I hit fairly firm, to avoid a "no cushion after contact" foul. --Yes, the 9 probably would have made contact with less power, but I tend to default to hitting...

The 4th side *does not need* to "have an effect", but it's necessary to have a playable table. The assertation was that the table dimensions had to be 2:1 ratio ("Twice as long as it is wide!") for the system to work. There is no direct correlation to a 4-side requirement, as far as the...

Playing at the local restaurant/bar, first in warmup game, and second in match--8-ball, Race to 1, 7-ft table, "call shot" rules. I lost the games via ridiculously low-probability shot results. This one--I don't remember the previous shot, but I think it was one that left me without limited...

Do you still have a copy of the "Banks are Always Open" poster, by Ray Higley?

Around here, aren't those "CTE gummies"?
