    Cell phone junkies

    These days for local events....the score is no longer a coin under the rail.....now the score is kept on your phone and updates the bracket real time........so you are kind of forced to have your phone with you during a match. I get the jist of the OP though........I update the score and turn...

    Happy Ending!

    I asked AI to explain the Birds and Bees in 2024......This is what I got. The whole 'birds and bees' thing has become more difficult nowadays You gotta explain all about the birds and the bees, the birds and the birds, the bees and the bees, the birds that used to be bees that still like birds...

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    Exactly what I was getting at in post #32 with the ESM formula. For me it is a must to play that way as my eyes just don't work that good.....when someone comes up with a good brail aiming for pool system....I will be all over it.

    Increasing stroke speed?

    I have not seen this mentioned .....so here are my "observations" and input that you can try and see if it helps.....As far as "technique" goes I am self taught through reading, observation and trial and error.....I also drag everything I know from Golf into the pool world.....So take this with...

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    I am just not sure about that.....If that is what it takes to be a top player.....I have no chance....zip zero nada.............I made a ball with 32 contrast lines to help make it easier to prove you right....(which obviously actual balls don't have)....I don't know about anyone else....my eye...

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    I don't know who this is......but I probably most likely know you......My comment was obviously an exaggeration.....but there are only a couple three guys in AZ I am going to take against Shane on his worst day.

    Contact Point and Visual Distortion

    I kind of doubt it is necessary to have 32 fractional points on a OB to pocket all the shots.....I also doubt there is anyone that precise in stroke accuracy..... No matter what tool you use to get aligned....ultimately there is going to be a need for some feel (aka confidence) for making a...

    PUSH OR PULL

    Hmmmm....interesting.........In Golf this is a shark move.......If a guy/girl is putting well...making everything they look at and you want to try and get into their head............. "Man you putt GREAT!!!....You make everything you look at.........I am just curious....Let me ask....Do you...

    Your "first five" pointers...

    Personally....I would throw them all out for a complete novice....I would start them off with the foundation of success. Grip Stance Posture Alignment Literally everything else they do in the game of pool will be based on those 4 things.

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    In any sport....you have your top speed...low speed and your average speed.....you rarely play at your top speed...you rarely play at your low speed...the majority of people perform mostly somewhere from a little below to a little above. As you get better your low speed will go up....until then...

    If pool is not a sport is it an art

    Well hey.....I tried ....but it's not my fault.....I keep putting the stick to whitey but he won't listen to me.....and the colored balls won't listen either....I keep sending them to their holes to get away from whitey but I guess they are afraid of the dark.

    Source for Eyeglasses Allison Fisher was wearing this past weekend

    What if you are far sighted in one eye....near sighted in the other....vertical astigmatism in one lens and diagonal astigmatism in the other lens (not cornea....corneas are 20/20)

    Set up for Centerfield drill

    +1 on this^^^^^^^^^ You don't get to make a box on the table at the start of a match.........and finding the location of the 4 balls is pretty simple....You could even modify the drill and alternate and say put each of the 4 balls closer to the rails 1/2 diamond away instead of 1 full diamond...

    BHE vs FHE

    Unless of course you are Efren......I watched Efren play one pocket against a local public opinion very good one pocket player that knew the right shots.........I watched Efren.....He knew what the other player was going to do and where the CB was going to end up before the other player knew...

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    For most there is also the natural tendency to play to the the level of your opponent......If I am playing in a league/tournament that the highest is a 600.....I most likely won't play my best.....Play in a local tournament that has a weak field and just destroy everyone....You most likely won't...

    Some evidence of what I have long suspected about Fargorating

    So....if the highest Fargo in the league is 602....and you say you don't try.....It suggests to me that nobody in the league takes the games "seriously" Sounds like a social league.... I see no games at all against a 700+ player ...I suggest move to Arizona...there are multiple leagues that...

    Dumbest tournament rule ever???

    I guess they need to add some yellow red and green lights at the end of the table....do it like drag racing...bump in and turn on your yellow...opponent has 10 seconds to bump in and activate his yellow...lag on green light....lag early and you red light....don't lag after 5 second green light...

    BHE vs FHE

    Yes...I may not have explained it very well....There is a center point where the ball meets the cloth....Perhaps a better term would be I align where the ball lifts away from the cloth....there is a left side and a right side (looking at it in 2d).....aim to the right side to cut left....aim to...

    BHE vs FHE

    I think we most likely shoot with very similar methods......I am having flashbacks on my conversations with Hal.....The very first conversation was where he told me about the 3-line concept (CB 1/4ball / edge)........IIRC that is the first method of all of them he would teach.....basically the...
