Thanks Doc.....I still wonder if shaft taper/flex plays any role....If you ever need a new project study I guess.....to add to all the great ones you have already done....(y) I think a lot of things boil down to mental perception.....We "think" we are doing something but actually not quite...

Observation / Hypothesis......I have zero scientific leg to stand on so this is just a "pondering" I notice at the 6:30 mark the good accelerating stroke ball picked up forward rotation before the others...That seems to be a significant difference IMO....I wonder if the same effect would happen...

IDK.....I went 2 years without playing a Fargo match.....My Fargo went up in those two years. The problem (as I see it) is that the TDs are using Fargo to limit the field.....If a tournament is capped at 599 and under.....How are those players going to get a Fargo above 599? Also....playing in...

I would be curious to know if there are any plans to break out the players rating by discipline.... Example 9/10-ball (rotation) = rating 8-ball = rating Straight Pool = rating 1-pocket (specialty games) = rating Overall = rating Some players only seem to get ratings in 8-ball (league) or...

Chump change....I am over $4k....and that is probably low compared to some

$40.....wow...and they are selling?....impressive.... Honest opinion.... I 3D print as a hobby......I made a chalk holder because I wanted a cover for the case...and did not like the hard plastic ....way too breakable........I designed what I call a comfort grip....has finger indents and a...

I'm pissed off when I don't run as rack I am supposed to be out.....I'm pissed quite often.....LOL.... Can't really judge off of video performances....some don't perform well on camera.....Could video performances be a modern day dump...to generate action???? There is also levels of...

I am going low left to hit that coin marker and drift down toward the end rail........That is the easy one though.....Shooting the 8 and going 3-rails is the hard shot...(depending on how you land on the 8)....All kinds of ways to scratch or come up short..or over run your position on the 9 .

My everyday nick since I was a kid is "Goose"....no great story....just based on my last name. However.....For a weekend....I was "Kentucky Ken"...I was told this after the fact....I did not get to participate in the generation of the nick. 4 of us went down to Tucson to play a state tour...

Perhaps it has faded with the new generation...I was pretty much on a pool hiatus for about 7 years....Just recently started putting some effort into the game again....So many new faces I don't recognize..

He used to hang at the now closed Alexanders waiting for action......Now he is usually at Bull Shooters....Recently inducted into the AZ Hall of Fame. Both him and Freezer know my nick......LOL

In my neck of the woods we got The Freezer....pretty popular name if you know anything about 1-pocket.......We also have Big Daddy...If you are any kind of in the pool scene around here you will know who that is....Big Daddy cut a few road players trips short back in the day.

I hit both shots for the heck of it.... Not knocking the creativity and fun of a rail first shot there.....but just be careful....adding an element (rail first) brings with it all kinds of crazy not desirable outcomes....or scratch possibilities....Just for kicks and grins I set up and shot...

I would guess 720 for top 1000.....680 top 5000...601 top 10,000+... 750+. - pro 680-749. - Road Player 650-679 -A 600-649 -B 500-599 -C <499 - Recreational

When the OB ball is that far off the rail you kind of have to judge the track line exiting the second rail to the third...I guess we will see if answers are different...but the way it lays to me is the track line is going towards about 7.5....The CB is sitting just about the 3.5 track line to...

I still think the 1-rail is the right shot here...(especially for a lefty)......but since the discussion is more of the 2-rail option (for someone that does not seem to have a lot of background in 2 rail shots or likely shape in general)...I will throw this out....I know the application of both...

First off...I am left handed....so it sets up easier for me I think... For the 1-ball kick...I am actually going to kick that 1 rail....The 2 rail kick to me is a sell out.....The 1-rail kick I have a chance to make the ball and land on a shot on the 3...or miss and leave my opponent...

That is very probable....I don't have anyone standing behind me so it is very possible even though I feel I am shifting both I may actually be shifting with my front hand more than the back....When I used BHE I made the adjustment while down on the shot and most times just erred right or left on...

I use a method of "triangulation" of the cue.....It may be overlooked by most that I do this as it happens fairly quick. While standing I visualize the shot line the cue needs to basically lay on always starting with a center CB hit....I turn my cue along that shot line then set my feet to the...
