What's the difference between a convex ball and a normal spherical ball? A sphere is convex right? What am I missing?

Also known as Cicero Ave in Chicago.

This shot is nowhere near a 10,000 to 1 or even a 100 to 1 shot. More like 10-1 as @Bob Jewett noted. Still very impressive to play and pull it off in that situation. The traffic on the table makes it more impressive. I have made it multiple occasions on League, shooting fun in a bar and...

I feel attacked. :D

I think it's this table: https://valley-dynamo.com/shop/pro-cat-coin/ I don't know when it was created but I don't remember seeing it anywhere before. I'd like to try it out!

I bought a brand new 1995 bmw 325is in Atlanta while I was working there. I got Georgia plates and at the dmv I gave them my Colorado address. She said “oh, out of state” and didn’t charge sales tax. When I took it to get plates in CO they said “Oh, transfer from out of state” and didn‘t...

Funny exchange on Fedor’s channel after his match with Erik the Red. Fedor: he racked very well for me. Perfect rack every time. I felt bad because I couldn’t give him as perfect a rack though I tried. (Paraphrasing) Collins: Do you expect the same racking from Shaw? Feder: nope. Lol

Well. They had almost 1600 total viewers while other tournaments at the same time were in the range of 13. Collins is building a community more than just bringing pool matches to people. If you watch it for a while you see how many people come there for the chat and to interact with him and...

Excellent post. This discrepancy between what we think our body is doing and what it actually is doing can be the reason that in both golf and pool, when we try harder we play worse. Because what we are doing is trying to be more precise in our mental picture which forces our stroke or swing...

That’s a good question. Almost everyone had maxed their reputation before so I don’t know if Mike would have bothered.

I just want to point out that reaction scores are relatively new so longer term members had a lot of posts that people couldn’t ‘react to’ when they were posted. I have 14,000 posts and 5,000 reactions (roughly). - I don’t know how many of those posts were after the change.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. My best memory of Scott was playing him 9-ball at his bar in Springs, I think it was called "Rack and Roll" - I was a lowly B+ player so I was getting weight. We were tied hill-hill and I broke and ran out. My first one in a tournament, I believe. He didn't...

I think he meant 7 in 8-ball and 8 in 9-ball. If he meant 7 or 8 in 9-ball then I agree with you. EDIT - Just read his original message more and you are correct, he meant 7 or 8 in 9-ball.

250-300. :D. j/k - I would think at least 560 or so.

The key is to drink enough so that you don't wish you were playing. And to not drink so much you *think* you're playing and it's your turn. Forever.

I must have it! j/k, with my stroke I'd probably break my arm. :)

Ignorance is bliss for me. I don’t know or care when someone is sharking me. Many times people will come up to me after a match and say my opponent was sharking me by xyz… Usually I didn’t even notice.

I've given up saying anything. Every polite thing you might say can be turned against you. I just smile and shake hands or fist bump.

What a beautiful cue.

I'm in a similar situation in that I quit for about 10 years and then started again regularly and then quit during covid for 3 years due to lack of time/opportunity to play. An important thing to remember is that your strategy when you could play better is not necessarily your best strategy...
