I'm not sure. Judd Trump is a great shooter, and did a credible job playing 9-ball, but wasn't anywhere near his capabilities in snooker. In the same way Corey Deuell or Alex Pagulayan didn't perform to scale when they tried Q-school in snooker. Thinking about these three players where we...

Exactly this. With good imagery, to scan a table and fix a position for each ball isn't difficult. To determine makeable shots isn't difficult. To pick the easiest shot isn't difficult. Picking which of the makeable shots is best for position on the next two balls starts to get complicated...

I second the idea of a time-series graph of a player's rating, say one point at the first of the month over two years. It would be nice to see if players are getting stronger.

I always thought the whole point of drills is to practice normal playing situations in a structured way. What drills are you thinking of?

See ENIAC, MANIAC, IBM 601, 602, 701. CDC 6600. They were doing calculations for thermonuclear weapon design among other major problems of the day.

Found it at Edit: Actually, this video is one of those cropped videos where they just crop out the center of the screen.

His first video on this channel, with Mark Williams, had 150K views in four days. His second on cueing mistakes had 93K views in 2 days. He's a popular commentator on snooker tournaments, and his channel seems to be well-received so far.

I spent decades away from pool but when i decided to get back into it, i decided to start over from scratch and focus on fundamentals. I've also spent a lot of time developing training systems, so I took a few lessons to see what modern training was like. I took a lesson from two different...

It must be a complex undertaking when you consider keeping straight the players. In some major tournaments it might be easy, but others would lead to problems distinguishing between Jayson Shaw, Jay Shaw, Jason Shaw, J. Shaw. If tournaments and leagues want to have their data entered into...

It was common for the commentators to talk over each other. When there was a third person in the booth, it was common for all three people to be talking over each other. It didn't help that the commentators were so often wrong about what the player was going to do next. I've grown to like...

I don't think this qualifies as a 'campaign'. When you look back at this thread there's only a couple of people pushing the idea that Hogue is underrated. As you've pointed out, Hogue is known as a good regional player, but few if any people would consider him a top player at the national level.

That's cool! I can find Hogue's page on AZB, and click through to each tournament to see the tournament results, but where do you get the individual match results? AZB's table is only showing tournaments where Hogue placed in the money, not all the tournaments he played in 2022.

So in 61 games against players who are 700+, he won 26 and lost 35.

Didn't the Sandcastle Open only have 32 players? Not a lot of matches with that size of field, and they were races to 7. Hogue beat Vangelov, Olson, Lampaan, Pinegar, Dominguez, and Olson again, if I have it right.

I watched a couple of guys playing with the Rempe ball, checking the chalk mark after each shot, and heard one say to the other, "I think I need a new tip, I can't hit past the 3 line without miscuing"

Ha! Ha! And you said earlier today you had posted a video months ago. Post that one again so others can see it. I think you're actually 12 years old and think you can claim top secret work as an excuse to prevent people from finding out that you don't know what you're talking about. It's...

You've said your magnetic balls were ready to be demonstrated at a public lecture, but now that we can set up the public lecture, you can't do it. You've said you would describe the mathematics/physics behind your Maxwell cloth at a public lecture, but now you can't do it. Just hot air. You...

You've said the magnetic balls were ready to be demonstrated at a public lecture, but now that we can set up the public lecture, you can't do it. Now you say the video was posted months ago. It should be real easy to post it again. Where is it? You've said you would describe the...
