Agree, I seem to remember hearing that Filler runs 200 almost every day on 4” pockets.

I’m not sure that’s necessarily true. Charles Ursitti claims to have seen a run of close to 600 and Willie also claimed a high run 609 or something like that.

Presumably Eufemia ran 625 not long after but it wasn’t accepted as a record. Video evidence and an adjustment to the definition of “exhibition” played a major role here.

20 years ago and no one you know saw it. They went to the other school.

I agree. If we look at every game that has captivated the public at some point (14.1, English Billiards, Snooker, 3 Cushion/Straight Rail), they’ve all had some high run component to them. And those high runs have been a significant talking point, whether it’s records or just frequency...

Unless it’s not the head of the nail, you’d be surprised. I have duramith balls and havent had another scratch in years.

I put electrical tape over the screws and that solved the issue. It also helps protect the balls if you miss more.

Based on this it would seem that scratch is equivalent to 708. There are roughly 2.4 million golfers in the US with a handicap and 40,000 of them are scratch. So about 1% (1.6% to be exact).

I don’t know the exact amount of time but the threshold for a view is not high. With that said, total watch time plays a large role in whether a video gets promoted or not. So while some people are certainly only clicking on for 1-3 minutes, they wouldn’t be getting those views consistently if...

Sorry I keep forgetting to remind them to send me the contract so I can sign.

Like I said, I’m not speaking to the claim. Only clarifying the comparison. A 20% BnR in competition would probably be a 700+ standard with relaxed rules.

Without speaking to the 20% claim, those stats I believe are probably for the 9 on the spot, break box rules. When they could break from anywhere, it was as high as 40-50%.

I think I’ll be in the minority here but 8 ball on the big table has to be winner breaks to be interesting for me. Alternating breaks, I’m just watching to see who makes the first mistake. But at least with winner breaks there is that high run component to see if they can put a big package...

I agree with your instructor about info overload. In such a short time frame the best use of multiple lessons with your instructor would probably to have them act as a coach as you work through your exercises. Having someone there for a couple hours to make sure you are applying the advice...

I agree that probably the best way to get an estimate is to somehow input historical matches into the system. I’m guessing if you stuck with the Derby, US Open. Sando Regency and whatever accu-stats have in their classic newsletters that would be enough to connect the eras and get those players...

That the events aren’t on the CSI website is intriguing. If they still have a major hand in producing and promoting you’d want that to be on your website. And then there is also the lack of CSI dignitaries at the World 8 Ball trophy presentation. Finally, a new pro billiard tour YouTube...

At least it’s not best of 2 sets, I suppose.

I hate calling something a major before it’s ever actually run. Wasn't the international championships supposed to be the “fourth major” at one point? And the Grand Prix before that?

My personal experience is that practicing on a table that is looser than what you compete on sucks for all the reasons mentioned. It’s just hard to feel completely in flow unless you get ample time to warm up, which isn’t always guaranteed. And then, having the same pocket size isnt ideal...

I don’t see myself in the data here. Can you drill down to fractions of percents? I want to know my chances of beating Jaysons record.
