    Chicago pool happenings

    First time I saw the mammoth apartment complexes was mid 80's, from our vantage point as best as I recall it looked like 2 white towers side by side. Not sure what the Robert Taylor homes are but I just Googled Cabrini now and it says its a "gentrified mixed race" neighborhood. I suppose it...

    Chicago pool happenings

    You could see that detail because once again, we took that route many times a season, I have no reason to make shit like that up. I also spoke with many Chicago area residents who gave me the lowdown on our views thru Chicago. The picture you used as an example is a pretty poor example, the...

    Here, this is just for you, since Cabrini Green no longer exists this is what AI says, do try to get over it now please. I guess my Xray goggles worked pretty good. Are you trying to make a fool of yourself? You are doing a pretty good job of it. "Yes, the tall Cabrini-Green apartments were...

    Chicago pool happenings

    Now show me moving views from a mile before in each direction. Your little handycam photo isn't a very good representation. I have to say, judging from your other posts I expected a little more from you. Why are you so triggered over this in the first place, did you call Cabrini Green home??

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    Let me ask you a question. I also have a GC at home and play on Diamonds away from home. Do the Diamonds feel bigger than the GC when you play on them? For some reason a 9' Diamond always feels bigger than my 9' GC, maybe its the big flat rails Diamond uses, I like the GC tear drop rails much...

    How Many of You...

    I had a new piece of Great White with a magnet on it, a team mate wanted to borrow it so I left it with him and said I would get it next week. The next week I ask for it back and he informs it went down the pocket on the table, I said no problem, just get me another piece. He says he figures he...

    Yapp’s Controversial Tournament-Winning Shot in the 8-Ball World Championship … Was it a Foul?

    If the refs do not know the cue ball physics exactly what do they think they are watching for? What do they believe that they will see with the naked eye that will have a bearing on the call either way??? The sanctioning body really needs to look at that and ask the same question before...

    Chicago pool happenings

    I absolutely said that one. Yeah, the missing windows and the white what I'm assuming were bed sheets being used as curtains floating in the wind outside of the windows were all the clues I needed from I94 to know that I did noy want to be there. Plus its not like it didnt have a not so stellar...

    Fortunately Chicago government doesn't take kindly to guns so I believe gun laws are pretty strict there, apparently the laws are effective and nobody can get guns, especially perps. 🤣🤣

    Possible but you would think he is smarter than that. So you reckon he thinks its not possible to have driven thru Chicago many times on many different paths? Or maybe he simply doesn't know that surface streets are city streets that are not the freeway/Interstate/expressway/highway. During...

    Imagine how many might visit if not for Chicago crime constantly being in the news.

    What do you mean "a mile away", are you suggesting I'm flying???

    Chicago pool happenings

    If you are driving on what's referred to as "surface streets" you can absolutely tell the kind of area you are in. I could tell from I94 that I did not want to hang out at Cabrini Green back in the 90's.

    Chicago pool happenings

    You're right, it was Stoney Island!!!! Cicero is on the north side, isn't it? Whenever I saw the street sign for Cicero I always took it to mean we were now entering Chicago. What is Stoney Island? A road, a town, an ice cream stand????

    Chicago pool happenings

    We were headed north thru Chicago on the way home from a race down south on a Sunday night, we got off on I think it was the Coney Island exit with a trailer wiring problem, the police pulled up next to us and said "you folks should not be here at this time of night" he escorted us back to 94...

    Relaxed vs raised shoulder?

    I don't see any issue with the shoulder in the video. There is far too much fidgeting going on after you get down on the shot. Once you get down on the shot all you should be doing is confirming your aim with your eyes, then a few practice strokes, and pull the trigger. As Bob Jewett said from...

    Relaxed vs raised shoulder?

    A stroke that changes direction will never be "fluid". If you watch many of the high level pro's they have a pause on their back stroke. Skyler Woodward is one of the few who doesn't have a pause and his stroke looks rushed, not "fluid". You have to release one muscle and tense another to stop...

    Automatic Shot Clock

    Sounds much more complicated than Digiball and a timer. If the camera wont catch spinning balls its really of no use.
