Dennis, are there any discounts for ordering 2 or more?

Another good resource for pool related concepts in general is a web site by Dr. Dave at http://billiards.colostate.edu/. There are plenty of videos from basic concepts to advanced concepts.

Way to go Mike. Who were you playing? As you know we only have 7 people in our division this season. I know you're not a fan of the tables, but they do play a lot better with new cloth and new rails.

I use a 19 oz. and a lot of spin. As for you comment about 9-ball, longer shots, heavier cue; remember kinetic energy is defined as 1/2 * m * v^2. m is mass and v is velocity. Doubling the mass only doubles the KE. Doubling the velocity increases the KE proportional to the square of the velocity.

I tried this shot on the break and could get close but couldn't make it. I trained my table when I bought a Sardo rack years ago. I assume "tapped" is the same as the training I did for the Sardo rack. At first I loved the Sardo rack and got perfectly tight racks for 8-ball, 9-ball and 14.1...

Oh yeah, that's right. I wish you didn't remind me of that. :frown: It would be difficult to justify especially since I probably would only be able to take advantage of it just a few times or so over the course of the next 16 months. It sounds like a great place with a lot of interesting history!

That's what I thought. So for this special offer, $135 (before Sep. 1) gets you a membership for the rest of this year and all of next year, right? No registration fees on top of that?

You mention above that with a membership there is a 25% discount on billiard charges. Is a membership required or is it open to the public? What is the cost of table time after the 25% discount?

I too like the BCAPL rules. I'm not even talking about players disputing a call. I'm just referring to situations that come up where the ruling involves a ref. For example the "serious fouls" penalty relies on a ref to declare the penalty as a 1 point foul, 16 point foul, loss of game, loss of...

I agree. I like rules that are clear too. I also have a difficult time understanding why it's the norm to answer rule questions with WPA rules in mind. Yes, they are the official professional rules, but all too often the rules refer to a ref presiding not to mention that most of us aren't pros...

Fair enough.

Mr. Jewett's response suggests that jump cues are illegal regardless of the material used in the tip. I assume this is based on the minimum length requirement of 40". This just brings up another question like by what rules do the pros play when they're jumping in 9-ball and 10-ball?

I'm confused. WPA Rule 1.3 Player's Use of Equipment states that a player can switch between a playing cue, break cue or jump cue. I personally don't think they should be allowed in any game, but that's just my opinion.

I don't see it in the WPA rules but the BCAPL rules state that, "jump shots may only be attempted with your playing cue." I believe that's a fairly common rule. Maybe Mr. Jewett can chime in with the official WPA rule.

My understanding is that the event will be streamed too.

Thank you for making DVDs of this great event. I'm sure you'll sell a lot. Can you please provide some details? How much are they? How many DVDs are included? Which matches appear on the DVDs? Can individual DVDs be purchased or do they have to be purchased as a set? How can we order them...

Thanks Sean. It's such a great community we have here in the 14.1 forum. Everyone is so supportive and genuinely wants to see people improve their game. Jim

Thanks, Dennis. I'm dying to get past my career high of 50.

Finally, back in the 40s! I ran 41 at home on August 9th. I haven't ran 40+ in almost two years. The practice is paying off and my new Diamond ball cleaner / polisher isn't hurting either. I was a half ball width away from perfect position on my key to the key ball. So I ended up trying to...

Me too. I use it all the time whether playing a game with someone or just tracking my high run progress. I've introduced to to others and they have asked if it will be offered on Android devices. Will other devices be supported?
