Or how about a cue with some buttons like a toy bazooka. Call it sharkie. You can press the button when you make a good shot that sounds like you just picked up an extra life in Mario. And when you play safe good press the button to say “ooh that’s gotta hurt!” Think NBA Jam….

What about a cue bumper that makes noise when it hits the floor…..

Where’s Earl?

Well how serious is the player? At that price I’d suggest he/she just get what they like because they will probably want something else later on. If already semi-serious buy a used plain jane “real” Viking/McDermott. Not the lower lines of Valhalla/lucky. Really any good used manufacturers...

Thanks for the video Dr. Dave.

And as I’m reading it now maybe there is a bit of wiggle room to go up 2 SL if you get to the later rounds. If you go up 2 in 2 rounds maybe team would be disqualified but if you play 6 rounds there would be a solid argument for your team to not be DQ’d. The way I’ve always looked at it is if...

Sorry JV. I did read Vegas incorrectly. Not sure if St Louis raises people in team format before the tournament. They do in singles. Now I’m feeling tension. In the team format. Maybe other LO’s do it different. But I’m so used to having the citywide event here with about 6-8 rounds to get to...

Another myth about Vegas and also a reference to the LO having a say. I won some minis as an SL8 in Vegas but was only a listed SL 7. I never got raised to an 8 for that. I’ve been told that once you win playing as a higher skill that’s what your new handicap is going to lock in as. When I asked...

A Actually this isn’t true. St. Louis raised at least 3-4 players in our league alone +1 2 or 3 weeks prior to going last year. LO has no say in that. They review all players beforehand. And you can go down a level in Vegas if you aren’t locked in beforehand. They don’t lock you in until it’s...

Well I wouldn’t be either. look at the guy next to him with the two big vericose veins sticking out next to him. “It’s not a dumor!”

I didn’t realize that. After downloading Salotto I dont remember getting the option to report to fargorate. Then after playing a tournament and was assigned one, I linked it to Salotto and then had the option. Except I am pretty sure it wouldn’t let kim(my wife) and I report to fargorate until...

If you don’t have a fargorate. You have to request a preliminary fargorate from fargorate. Then you need to get the Salotto app and register your name with Salotto. Based off your name you verify that it is you listed on fargorate. You then can create a match through Salotto. In order to...

Dammit I did it again. Didnt I? Trying to work on that one. I’m the guy usually blunt and to the point and just encounter way too many people these days who require an explanation after that. Or get butt hurt.

Occasionally. But also hearing about the rough ones, some can relate to. More or less-“damn, I have the same issue”. It gives players more to think about and/or practice. And some might really have a simple solution for those looking for one. It was more open ended than anything as to where...

Well, that would require me to give you the shot if you can’t envision it. I’ll leave it for you when we play. J/k but the thread isn’t about showing the shot although I’m maybe posting a picture later. This thread was more about an explanation of the shot. All in all talking about the hard...

Following….

Damn. Is it the fact you are worrying about too much follow/miscue?What about shooting over balls?

What’s difficult for some is easy for others. I normally can hit a stun/slide shot ok. It was where the 7 had to go that was the problem. The only open pocket for it was the corner on the other side. I had to play the short side to that corner. Too short and the next shot was a scratch in the...

Anybody have one they’ve come across lately? I came across one of the toughest shots I’ve encountered in a while the other day. And that’s how this thread came to be. Worst part. It was just a center ball shot! It was a light angle near the rail long shot on the 5. Cb slightly outside of...

Here. It’s crazy saying alternating break cant get a lower high level closer to a better high level player in ratings.ATTACHMENT: International 9 ball open. In turn more 790s looking like 800’s. It’s more emphasized at high levels but trickles down. Simply put if a field avgs 30% break and run...
