    I did a load of laundry and missed the game...and the US open needs a shot clock.

    Watching MIka, Shane in the worlds, I go do a load of laundry and come back up and its 10-3 Mika, go do another load and come back and its 10-10. I did another load watching the US open with Shane and Kazakis, went downstairs at 1-0, come back up and its 2-0. The US open needs a shot clock...

    Stroke help

    Stop trying to apply back hand english...stop thinking about english entirely....stop thinking about eye patterns...stop aiming. You will figure all of this out with the "sams" method. (Shoot a million shots) Watch the pros...they stop, drop and shoot. That's it. If you are doing any more than...

    Would you call a foul on yourself?

    I find its the opposite.

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    All good points. The reason I don't care about the tournament rules so much, at least the ones that I feel stifle me unnecessarily is because I am doing them a favour by attending the tournament, not the other way around. Certain rules bother me, like I have to wait for my opponent to finish an...

    Would you call a foul on yourself?

    The amount of money you are playing for shouldn't dictate how you play. Also, I wouldn't gamble with cheats.

    Would you call a foul on yourself?

    There isn't always a ref. It is very poor sportmanship, and shows lacking in character. Winning a game, while getting away with a foul is like cheating on your spouse, or them cheating on you but you don't see it. How would you feel about your marriage if you kept it from them, or find out they...

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    It's not the players responsibility to abandon all morals to appease the bettors. Again they should know who they are betting on. If they want a player to play like a sleaze bag, then bet on a sleaze bag.

    Would you call a foul on yourself?

    Anybody who votes no probably lacks the skill to be able to win without abandoning all sportsmanship.

    They should know who they are betting on then.

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    I added some real world examples in my previous post, and a video of Kyron calling a foul on himself. Battlefield? Have you heard of a ceasfire? By your logic winning at all costs would mean you would shoot anyway. It's like when you watch ufc and a fighter goes for the fake high five and slips...

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    If that's the case I would have taken the loss. I would have spoken firstly because I don't care what the tournament rules are when they infringe on my ethics...if I see someone making an honest mistake then I will speak up. Winning is a relative thing...not an absolute. If I knew a player was...

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    You sound like someone who has never won anything in their life. Winning without pride is losing. Shane lost.

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    Winning at any cost is not truly winning. I see Shane didn't get far in the tournament. Karma.

    Touching the cloth with hands or cue?

    All of the pros "aiming" is done standing up. How do you guys not know this? This is why I don't understand aiming systems...you arent aiming once you are down on the shot lol.

    Touching the cloth with hands or cue?

    I wouldn't hinder my game with systems...they are fools gold. Top pros don't use the diamonds. It's all about feeling the angles. You can never be as accurate with a system because the system breaks down with so many variables. Heck you could line up perfectly with your "system" and then hit it...

    Well it happened...Shane vs Tate US open

    That's garbage...the announcers say it has happened numerous times but this was the first on the tv table. To say its the players fault is just plain stupid. What is stupid is changing the ball colours. Hey lets just randomly change all the colours every year just to force people to buy more...

    Touching the cloth with hands or cue?

    Yes at the pro level...this isn't paint by numbers. You shouldn't need them...I can hit 1,2,3 rail kicks all day long without using the diamonds as a guide. I mean if you use a diamond system, same like if you use an "aiming" system, then I know right away you can't play at my level, so I don't...
