I really enjoyed watching as well. Dennis made a few mistakes, and the guy would generally get his 3 balls immediately, but the mistakes were so few that Dennis easily won the match. I think it was a race to 4 games per set, and best of 3 sets. I saw a comment that the other guy actually won one...

I was watching a FB stream early and FB crashed. I can't find it now. Does anyone know who was streaming? Seems like it was something "underground", maybe....

Here is what I would try to do. Cue ball position after hitting object ball is shown in that balls color (yellow lines are cue ball path after hitting 1-ball, etc.)

We had one of those nights at league last night. I am usually very focused and serious when playing. Once in a blue moon I will catch someone's comment and chirp back at them, but usually I completely miss it when I'm in a match. Last night, everyone was in a good mood, a guy from our other...

I agree. Last time I had a BAD loss I had to wait a few days, instead of posting next day like I usually do, but it felt good to post about it, get it off my chest, and then move on.

I like this idea. I get that tradition has been singles, but this is a twist, just like having 40 people show up. If you have any kind of ranking/stats for the season, split the group based on win/loss and select one partner from each group. I know in our leagues, I talk a little to opponents...

Maniac... there is nothing "bragging" about these posts. This is just water cooler talk between people we don't work with. I don't know about you, but I don't work with anyone who cares about pool, so it is great to have a place to chat about our week with people who actual care and understand...

I have a McDermott that I absolutely love. It REALLY all comes down to what feels the best for you. Find a pool hall close to you, chat up the owner and customers the best you can, and offer to buy them a beer if you can shoot some balls with their cue. Most are more than willing to help out...

Sounds like a lot of fun to me! I've never had one that good, but those days when you're playing at your best are always a blast. Enjoy it and remember it.

I know... I have a long road ahead of me. We are dropping the Monday night and switching to Sunday, which starts at 4:00 or 4:30. That should make my week much easier. I have also skipped one Tuesday this session. We were out till 12:30 last night as well and this morning was brutal. I think my...

Congrats Matt and Maniac. Sounds like your sessions went/are going great. We had our local semi-finals last night. Our team was dead last in the division, but drew the wildcard into the 4 team playoff. Our captain is the owner of the APA in the area and has been our recruiting for next session...

That is exactly my case! I am getting better but am not consistent enough to be a SL6. Most of my APA season i was a SL4 and finished at 7 of 11 matches. I don't plan on dropping to a SL5 because I plan to work hard, but I also think I will struggle to maintain. Hopefully I am wrong and really...

Seems like it has been a few weeks since I posted. APA 8-ball (SL5) - I haven't played much lately. I was out one week for work and had a few where we played other players. This Monday I played a pretty good SL6. He definitely gave me more chances than he should have, but I played pretty dang...

I'm going top right because even if I miss it thin, there is a good chance it goes off the rail and in. When looking at the angle of being able to make it, I would think you have a "wider" pocket when including the rail you can hit and still make it. I'm a novice at best though, so take it for...

Beautiful cue! Definitely makes me want to look into making cues.

Good to hear you guys are doing well. We played the in-house league last night. Our team won 5-0 against the last place team. Although we won most of the matches easily, every game was very tight. My wife (SL2) beat a SL4, 2-1. She made another great bank shot at a critical moment, and was...

I didn't play in APA last night. It was a rough night for our team as we lost 7-5, I think. My wife had an interesting match though. She had to go to another location before this match to play a make-up from last week (we were nice and let them play a make up instead of playing a player they had...

So Player B should have stated he had a time/money limit. If neither of them mentioned it to start, neither of them can complain later. Are they supposed to just play forever or until they break even? Statements like this make no sense. You can't assume that you get to play till the bar closes...

Monday night APA - (SL5) Shot a really good SL4. First 2 games took a total of 2 innings with her winning both. 3rd game she broke and it was questionable if it was a legal break (no one saw for sure if enough balls hit the rail, but it was close.) She gave me the option as to whether we called...

Why is it assumed that it is Player A's responsibility to say when the session can end? He gave Player B one set of notice that he wanted to quit. At no point did Player B say he wanted to go a certain time/number of sets. Player B has no grounds to whine, and OP should stay out of it. Let it...
