True, but the rails, they won't fluctuate. :)

Decades ago, Single Elimination, best 3 outta five sets.... I always barked it works, but promoters need guarantee$$$$$$$ to the hotel and staff, so they want ''At least two nights of the Soft money, not One timers/players they ck out early. But.... the location Needs that money to profit...

The American demographic pool thinking here, does not feel like MR support thinking in Europe, cept for theUS Open Purchase, a way in, but no support on the country that created this game. bu$$ine$$ sometimes doesn't think straight.

I tried this. I have 5 different cue balls. I'll toss em all on table. I'll shoot and then start taking tough shots. Like when I shoot an hang up whitey, I then shoot whitey from there. Having this selection of cue balls ''all on table'' I've found very productive in improving/FINDING shots...

Here's bite from John McEnroe on their current state of tennis. "Obviously, the key thing is, we gotta get a Ben Shelton to win one," McEnroe said. "We gotta get some American men to win some majors. And that would make it, to me, much more interesting, if Tiafoe, or Tommy Paul (stepped up)."...

Growing up in the Chi town area, never did see that Manhattan Club chalk. I stayed away from Bensingers in my youth, probably would of seen some there. Thx for the pic.

Round ''rolls'' and they are hard to find under a table. Surprised round was invented.

Ironically I sold my GCI that was totally redone by Dave Isaccs. The locals didn't like it, too tough to play on, I hope this owner has friends that can put up with not making allot of their shots.

Rec players will never do this, they pay the rent. I think everyone at a bowling alley should bring their own ball, and the owner should not have to supply balls. :)

OMG, just saw a pick of SVB with his knees on the table, at Buffalos, and the chalk was on the rail. LOL

No...... if I have to pay room/board/airfare and shuttle costs. Throwing away 3-4K is allot of money knowing I likely won't cash. It's important for the players that do win to Realize this. When I played in two WPA events, everything was covered cept food. bm

The etiquette in pro play is totally different than bar table events, as to be expected. The etiquette of a pool room is to have cues and chalk available for all patrons. Often the bar tenders don't know where the chalk is. And when found, it's horrible, drilled to the bottom, ruins ferrules.

I've seen Efren pour powder on the top rail, put it on his bridge hand. Extreme humidity and dirt, allows a great player to change the play/dirt conditions, giving Effie a big advantage.

I never did either since my beginning yrs in the 60's. If you don't like it on the table, then pick it up. What I don't like is a pool room that has NO chalk, or a golf course without tees.

I grew up on 9' tables, I find it a waste to have to walk 15' and back 15' to grab one piece of chalk. Pros always put the chalk up right.

When I come to the table, I place 2 pieces of my chalk on the top rail. So I don't have to walk around the table to get one chalk. I had an opponent telling me that I should pick up both pieces before I sit down. Well, I ain't goin' there. bm

If they don't go do they get the winnng money?

Nice post fb. Talked with John Lewis yesterday, and he's said it before.... events with no added money keep the better players away. In talking with a TX holdum poker pit boss a week ago he said this. Entry fees are the payouts.... no money is added. In pool..... No added money.... Keeps the...
