See my hand written handicap chart on post 23. Most spots don't need over 9 balls (in which case a tray holding 8 would work), until you get to huge spots like 10-6 and 13-5.

I take it back, looks like the ball tray for house balls can be used cleanly. This picture just came across my FB today. Looks like someone just screwed the ball try, without cutting it, to the underside. Sort of looks like legs/knees would hit it though. But hard to say for sure unless at the...

One thing I learned 25 years ago is there is zero game no matter how much both sides talk about it, until the coin is flipped.

The game wasn’t set in stone. Just talking. Once we were both there and ready we made the game.

Agree he won't stay #1. But other than Shane and Fedor, I doubt the other USA players will surpass him. I'd guess he's going to go to every WNT event. The other's won't.

One more, there is no such thing as 3 fouls is a loss of game, correct? It can't come up?

I lost! hahaha. The game changed to called shot 10 ball, magic rack, on a 9' with pro-cut pockets. Race to 15. I get 2 on the wire. My 500 to his 400. He came up with it. He had a very bad couple of days and just wanted a really long and expensive race to take his mind off it, and knew I'd be...

So a pocket scratch is BIH behind the line, with pocketed balls are spotted? And if the lowest ball is behind the line, it gets spotted #1 in the lineup on the spot? Any other foul such as failing to hit the lowest ball or no rail, (2 in a row) is BIH anywhere?

Top 3 in automatically. Johann won't have a choice to leave Thorsten off. He has a big lead over the pack after 4 months of the year have been played.

No one is making anything nice with a plastic ball rack and saw and drill. It will look like crap, jagged edges, won't fit well, and will still need a way to attach to the legs. $100 for a set of 2 that is well made of powder coated steel, plastic inserts, and a perfect fit is a good price, imo.

Yes, those are the ones I remember seeing. They look well designed from the pictures. I've never seen one in person. The ad does a good job in showing why they are better than the diamond wire rack also, which are the same things I ran into using them. They hit your legs, and there is no...

Yes I’d allow breaking with a house cue. I definitely want the push out version, because I’ve been hearing about it for 20 years on AZ Billiards.

I want to run a "retro" 9 ball tournament with 1970-1990 rules. Pre Texas Express. Can I have some help? I didn't start until 1990's. I want the "push out" rules. Can someone spell them out for me? Is it basically just like the modern push after the break, but at any time? I'll have no jump...

I'm 570. Opponent is 542. Opponent offers me a spot of 2 games on the wire going to 11 playing 9 ball, if I put up $400 to his $300. I accept. I feel I'm stone stealing. If you are me, would you play the game on the 7' or the 9'? Both of us are equally adept on both tables. Both are new...

I agree, he was a great player. Maybe the lower tier of the upper level pros in the USA. But if you read his posts on here the past 20 years, which I'm sure you have, he was the second coming according to himself. That's what prompted my response:)

CJ was only dominant in his own mind.

A couple guys were in the pool hall the other night, wearing "shorts". The counter was all wondering if they went for the other team. Then we heard them speak. Ah, ok, they are European!

Future headline: "Team USA gets player Team Europe discarded 20 years ago."

Someone who will become a 700 level willl be a 550 for about 2 months. You either have the genetics for it or you don't.

Team USA will now have 3 Europeans, hahahah. Johan, Gorst, Hohmann...
