That reminds me of when I was much younger studying jazz drums. I watched a Buddy Rich solo. Made me want to quit. This out is having a similar effect. Lol.

Really? My dogs, my stupid joke…. Post in thread 'Funny pic/gif thread...' https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/funny-pic-gif-thread.93024/post-7927169

Please correct me if I'm wrong: in the instances where the winners jump on the table, aren't those the finals where there will be no more play on that table, and it will soon be disassembled / moved? If that's the case, I don't see it as disrespecting the table. It's going to be reassembled...

“thats intridusing” ?!??? Please stop “intridusing” politics where it is not relevant and likely not wanted. Poor choice to use as an example. (And for the record, I am solidly blue. I just don’t want to read about politics while reading a post about cue weights.)

The Lion says he plays with different cues for 1p and 9b because in the former he moves the CB in tight spaces, and in the latter he needs more power to move the CB greater distances. (I would equate 8b more to 1p and 14.1 than 9 or 10b.) It could be because Alex employs a very compact stroke...

Wow. Just…wow.

About whom was this written (“from Facebook”)? What tournament and when? And what was that person’s accomplishment in the tournament?

A round piece of Taom stays in the usual square flexible soft plastic or rubber chalk holders. I tried coins underneath it to bring it flush as it wore down but eventually the coins were too heavy and caused the chalk to fall out. So I use folded paper under the chalk now.

I will state up front: I suck at pool, a lowly APA 6/6, officially FR411 (but playing last six months at a 470 rate.) In league play have two 8b BNR EVER (not in a row), and one solitary 9b BNR. Why the hell am I posting? Because of this: When I was in college around 1974 or so, I ran 35 in...

How do you spell “relief”?

I had not seen that content before. It is a very good explanation on why I feel CTE is not for me: too many variables to determine and control. If it works for you, great. Thanks for posting the link.

Never mind. I get it. I just saw your CTEL diagram, the one with the purple, red, and yellow legend at the top. You’re keeping the CB in one spot, moving the OB, varying the distance from the CB. I thought you meant moving the CB along the shot line, OB position unchanging.

I have purchased and sold a lot of stuff on FB Marketplace, from used furniture, to electronics, tools, and yes, even cues. When I am interested in an item, I never simply respond using the default "is this still available" text. I always make my note personal and specific to the item I am...

I'm sorry, but I can't picture this. If I were to draw a line through the center of the CB to the center of the GB, and place the CB anywhere on that line, 6" or 6' away, how can distance between the OB and the CB create a different shot line? Are you really saying that a shot a different...

….AND yet another thread in the Aiming Forum ruined, devolving into the same old debate about CTE, by the same cast of characters. You simply can’t help yourselves, can you? (A psychology major could probably write a PhD thesis using the AZB Aiming Forum as a case study.) Sigh.

Huh? Ok, I set up an OB and the CB as you described. Yes, eventually the edge of the CB is visible at the edge of the OB. If I am doing this right, it’s 90° from the dead-on line. Is that correct? Ok, I agree that the edge of the CB and the center of the CB can be seen on the OB … until I get...

I have taken lessons from: - An instructor listed in the PBIA for my area four years ago. This instructor ignored my request for fundamentals, spent about 15 minutes with that, then fell into a "formulaic" instruction set he gives everyone. I mean, showing me bank drills are meaningless if I...

C'mon, let's use our brains! Let's say a pro misses 5% of his/her shots, and the slightly lesser player misses 8%. That's a 95% make rate vs a 92% rate. Now tighten the pockets. The better pro now misses 7% but now also the lesser player misses more as well, 10%. The numbers might not be...

This reminds me of the schisms in auto racing a few decades ago. IRL (Indy Racing League) v ChampCar for control of IndyCar racing. GrandAm v IMSA for control of sports endurance racing. In both instances, the warring factions were both hurt by the splits, and continued to be hurt divvying...
