Can you provide any credible evidence to back up this claim? Andrew

Ditto. I'm not trying to complain or even suggest that TAR chose the wrong price point, but I think this sort of feedback may be useful to them since this is their first time doing this. At $35-50, I would have bought this in a snap, but $75 is way too much for me. Maybe it's a decent value...

Does the amount of $$ matter? For those of you who don't approve of quitting winner: Does the amount you're playing for make a difference? I beat a guy a few months ago in a 9-ball race to seven. We were playing for table time. The match went hill-hill, taking longer than I had expected, and...

Sorry if this topic has been discussed to death already, but I think it's pretty eternally relevant. I dealt with a bad case of the jitters in league last night, and thought I'd share the story. I'm rated C+ in my 9-ball league, though I've been improving lately and may be creeping into B...

Wow, what great news! Congrats, SJM, and best of luck in the main event. You'll have all of AZB rooting for you. Let's meet up again to shoot sometime after the competition.

very poor website Seriously, the website you provide doesn't help the credibility of your case. Did you really take a critical eye to it? Their understanding of epidemiology & statistics is very rudimentary, skewed, and often just plain wrong (trust me, they're pretty liberal in their use of...

To be clear, the $30 estimate was for two hours (charged double time), not for one hour. It's normally something like $8 per person per hour in the evenings, if I remember correctly. I think their rates are actually not bad at all for what you get; it's just the charging double for one person...

Looking for other people's opinions & experience with this. I moved to NYC a few months ago and quickly sought out Amsterdam Billiards, having read about what a great pool hall it is. I love shooting there, as the equipment is immaculate and talented players and top pros abound. I've taken to...

That's really impressive that your one experience with your doctor was so demonstrative as to render the statistics that Russ provided "totally meaningless." Yup, always a good idea to put more stock in isolated, anectodal incidents than CDC data (Russ didn't post the link, but this is the...

If it makes you feel any better, when someone first asked me which is my dominant eye, it also blew my game and set me back for quite a while. ;) Some things are best left unexamined - your body automatically knows what to do. I almost always focus on the object ball last. I think that if you...

invasion of the robots? I'm having a hard time understanding this characterization of European and Asian players as emotionless robots. This may be tangential to the main point of the thread, but this stereotype has been tossed around enough in this thread that I think it merits addressing...

Thanks for the invite, JLW! I'm a graduate student in Boston. Haven't had much time to play pool lately, but I'm always practicing shots in my head while I'm in class. ;) I've been playing for about 5 years, and while I wish I had more to show for the countless hours I've devoted to the game...
