Let's say that's true- that the atmospheric conditions will effect the way a shaft plays. Why wouldn't learning how that is and adjusting to it be beneficial? Everyone knows humidity changes the way a table plays. That isn't speculation. Having a CF shaft will not save you from that type of...

Lost his mind is such an exaggeration. He was upset obviously from the antics coming from his opponent. By the way, why is this conversation prefaced by talking about how Archer was out of line or had just lost, etc ? If Martinez had behaved the same way against another top player, it would have...

To a point, yes. It can keep you sharp and also trying to break your high run can create a pressure situation that might not be present in drills. I think you'll eventually identify some weak areas however which is where some specific drills could be helpful in improving further.

Am I missing a valid argument there? I don't see one. I guess categorically a major tournament is not league night. Ok... was that woman a persistent "problem"? That doesn't seem to be the case so I guess that solution wouldn't be effective there. The fact that league night is relatively more...

Same, same run last week. Lately I've been entertaining this idea of quitting my pool league/playing in rotation tournaments and instead just practicing 14.1 all the time.

Is that the one with James Caviezel? Random, but I was working for a Porsche dealership that outfitted the car in that show (sinister I think the car was called). He was on the phone with my boss nearly every day for a month asking for this and that detail to be included in the car. Drove my...

I generally agree. I don't even think it makes sense to make a fuss about it since it's typical human behavior. Aside from that, how would that kind of thing be enforced? I don't see a reasonable way and it's also interesting there hasn't been a public statement made from Kristina herself...

Ehh. Non issue. There's no way to really stop that if it's going to happen so why even bother making a fuss about it.

Some guys from Ohio were talking about how Corey Deuel as a youngster may have displayed some autistic traits. Playing with the rack a lot, just staring at the balls when racking for a long time, etc. Maybe that contributed to his innovative break techniques 🤔

Since we are on the topic, does anybody know of any other extensions that use the same pin as the cuefits? I have one of their bumpers only. I believe it's a 5/16x14 quick release. The cuefits extensions look okay but charge over $40 shipping which I think is absurd.

That picture you posted is of the cuefits system. They also sell different extensions that work with that bumper. You can just buy the bumper itself with an extension. You don't need to make your own.

I was fortunate to meet him (Salazar) last year before he passed. I found it interesting he was from Tracy, CA, where I was living at the time and there's not a single pool hall for many miles there. I heard he was one of the very best on a barbox.

Quite strong. A friend of mine once broke and ran out three consecutive three-game sets (9games total) after winning the flip. He was a 200+ ball runner in 14.1 but 8 Ball was his best game.

99 critical shots is sometimes considered a beginner's book, but a lot of the shots are somewhat advanced and as he notes in the book, sometimes the concept of what makes a particular shot work is what you'll be able to apply to other situations as they come up.. Even if that situation isn't an...

Reminds me of a story Eric Durbin told about getting stuck like 200+ games for a good amount of money playing bar-table in SoCal. Quite a blitzing.

I was talking to a friend of mine about 14.1 and he mentioned his practice partner running 100+ on him one inning which got me thinking. What's the biggest package or run (rotation, 8 ball or 14.1) you've had to sit and watch in the chair? Mine was just practicing before a league match and my...

Surprised to see nobody mentioned Evan Lunda. One of Michigan's finest.

I ran 47 on a 9' GC1 this weekend. Decently clean run until the end.

I contacted them recently trying to order a tip press and her responded fairly quick.

I could ask but he seems easy enough to get ahold of on facebook if you reach out there. Replied to me right away.
