For those who have seen him play . . . does it appear he is a user of a leather break tip or the hard crack of phenolic?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcJ3xwHMQ8c At "39:20" on this video we see why pool will always have an up hill battle for real dollars and real sponsorship. Maybe an adult diaper changing table should be installed at tournaments. If I were the Tournament Director here . . . match over and...

I'm starting my 30th year as an APA member. I noticed the other posts had mostly newbies. Here are my records: * 8-Ball Matches Played Lifetime: 1334 * 8-Ball Matches Won Lifetime: 1049 * 8-Ball Lifetime Win Percentage: 79% 8-Ball National Lowest Attainable: 7 I know most love to complain...

3rd Place - Great! What handicap are you? 8 or 9 ball?

Randomly throw 4 stripes and an 8-ball onto a table. Ask the top 100 pros to run out and watch the sequence. How many run the balls the same way? 50%? 90%? I often wonder at what point is sequence: precision vs. art vs. statistical accuracy. This often separates the "A"s from the super Pros.

Does anyone make higher quality one piece cues with nice linen or leather wraps and full length lamination?

Data for 8-Ball . . . Coins? Cost? Table size? Type? Thanks.

Hard Tip Data Thanks a ton for the information. Excellent advice for me to try. I really appreciate your ideas and help.

Can anyone share their method for making a tip harder for breaking? Water, pressing or other ideas? Thanks. Just wondering if methods work as well as buying harder tips. Thanks.

Does anyone have a stream link to the tournament at The Break right now?

Any with a valley bar box and/or a diamond bar table: please measure from the head rail bumper to the foot spot. I'm trying to see how much of a difference there is between tables when breaking. My home table just seems smaller and would like to compare. Thanks for any info.

Break Shot Notes You did a great job here. I know it's a real pain to edit this type of video and you did a great job. Here are two thoughts: 1) You are doing an excellent job with your extension of level follow through. This is one of the keys to a great break. 2) Slow your back swing...

Can someone explain a typical BCA league play night? One match at a time? Handicapped by games or balls? How many games? Is a player handicapped or a whole team? We do not have BCA in our area and I want to understand how an evening is played out. Thanks for any info.

Last Pocket 8-Ball Always was a common game in Wisconsin.

Match Times Will the tournament director post match times on the bracket board?

Tournament Info Will the tables be open or do you need quarters?

I'm just curious, how many people compete on a regular basis either tournaments or league play on the exact same size table as they have at home? I play pool leagues on bar boxes so that is what I put in my home room. A large group of my league players have tables as well . . . 8 and 9 footers...

Nightly Rules Although not listed specifically, our APA league (for the past 28 years) has always used the equipment specified by the "home team" listed on the score sheet. The home team has always determined the table and the type of cue ball used. I think the rack type would fall into this...

Table Type What kind of tables are used? Size?

What are the best thoughts while waiting to shoot? Watch the table? Study the player? What do you think is best?
