    Where is the rule banning the "lift stroke" and the "sideways stroke" for close balls?

    The rule stating the stroke must explicitly be a "forward stroke". Not those illegal for 30 year strokes where you lay your cue on the table and lift the tip straight up (or sideways) grazing the CB. I just searched the latest WPA rules and I can't find the clause. Would someone help me find...

    Carom table hierarchy for serious players

    I know most of the pool table brands inside and out, for play, quality, design, reputation, long term durability, etc. I know very little about 3 cushion carom tables. I do have a few years of play on a Chevolette and a GC1, but both were 20 years ago. Would someone with very good knowledge give...

    Where is the contact point, considering tip compression

    The top layer of my tip fell off the other night, and I've been playing with it in that state the past few sessions and I'm still playing the same that way. That got me thinking, when the tip compresses and strikes the CB, where is the theoretical "contact point". Is it at the center of the...

    Common trick shot high karate video real or fake?

    Real or fake? FB account may be required. The reaction doesn’t look right to me. The arc is delayed, then too gradual when it finally starts. The speed of the whole shot seems too slow. What say you? https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1GPFN7sFRg/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Commentator mic for streaming

    I currently have this mic and love the sound quality. Unfortunately, when I have people in the booth everyone holds it at a different distance and the volume is all over the place. Is there something of equal quality that is headset based, so the mic is a more consistent distance to the mouth? I...

    Can a 3 piece slate ProAm be moved on the cart?

    If someone orders a 9’ Diamond ProAm, but gets it with 3 pieces of slate instead of one…. Can it still be tipped on its side fully assembled and moved like the 1 piece slate models on the Diamond cart? Let’s assume the slate seams are bonded together with paper drywall joint tape and CA glue...

    Where are all the CF butts?

    Why haven't we seen carbon fiber butts proliferate the market? I'm talking about a CF tube with no paint on it, so it will look just like all the CF shafts. Would they be too light? I suppose they could be filled with something like the shafts are to get the weight right? Is there some other...

    How did I make this bank?

    57:48 if the link doesn't take you there. It looks like the 9 jumped over the CB missing the kiss. I'm not sure if that's what really happened or it's a video artifact. I mean the 9 def jumps, but whether it jumped OVER the CB IDK. Thoughts? I hit the shot with low inside to shorten it as much...

    Highest percentage way to shoot this with BIH, playing Back Pocket 9 Ball

    Not a joke. This shot comes up playing "Back Pocket 9 Ball" a bit. I don't think it comes up in any other game. Opponent scratches while pocketing the 9. 9 spots and you must shoot it to your far pocket. I've seen top local players miss it over the years. How would you shoot it? How much space...

    Smoke eaters in pool halls - owner perspectives

    This is a bit non-pool related, but I know tons of the pool rooms had smoke eaters on the celings before the smoking laws changed over the past 20 years. I have a new house and a smoker just moved in and smokes outside. It gets into the new house. I've talked with the neighbor trying to come up...

    1970 9 ball rules

    I want to run a "retro" 9 ball tournament with 1970-1990 rules. Pre Texas Express. Can I have some help? I didn't start until 1990's. I want the "push out" rules. Can someone spell them out for me? Is it basically just like the modern push after the break, but at any time? I'll have no jump...
