Say you just broke and dropped 5 balls. You run the four, and need another. Do you spot up all five at once, or just the one you need? I imagine this would happen with handicapped matches or people who owe 3-4 balls but start running out.

I know all banks have to be clean, no caroms, billiards, and the cue ball has to hit the target object ball first. While playing last night, a shot similar to this left me a bit confused on the rules, though. (http://endeavor.med.nyu.edu/%7Ewei/pool/pooltable2.html) START(...

reading the 9BB rules at the DCC site (http://www.derbycityclassic.com/ninebanks.php), I'm unclear whether I'm allowed to kick to an object ball and have the object ball then bank in. Something like: START( %Aq6E1%BL7P8%CJ5O4%DL7N1%EM7P1%FK6P1%GK6N8%HM7N8%IL7O4%JK6M5...

Say you were at a popular local hall. Say you were playing at a table that, while providing sufficient room for a stroke, was still pretty close to the darts area. Say you were pulling back after a shot and something hits your cue. Say the tall metal-edged table the darts-throwers rest their...

Which members, what game, and what spot (if any) would you most like to see if all the AZ folks were together in a place with all the right equipment? Personally, I'd dig seeing Fast Larry play SILENCER at 14.1, just to see what would happen. Or SILENCER and Sarah R. playing any game for some...

Hey folks. As some of you know, I just got a nice Scruggs cue off of Mr. Donald A. Purdy. So far I've only been sitting around staring at it (so much work to do on my vacation!), but I played with it the night he showed it to me and love the feel. I generally take really good care of my things...

Pardon my total ignorance of this part of the game, but I have a question related to gambling... when playing, say, 9-ball, and someone spots you the last two balls, does that mean that you are just shooting for the 7 as if it were the 9, but your opponent is shooting the 9? and what happens...

For a given player, how much does a lighter cue (18.5, 18) affect a smooth, straight stroke and follow-through? Since the cue is lighter, there is less inertia, and it's easier for the tiniest sideways movement before or, more importantly, *after* hitting the cue ball to 'take' - right? Of...
