    Development of Streaming and Professional Coverage

    Too all 'Streamers'...first of all thank you so much! Secondly, please do NOT show multiple tables. Watching streams are for learning and entertainment. In order to learn we need to see large images of their hands, bridges, shot choices etc. Showing small images limits the viewer on...

    Carbon Fiber for Breaking

    Just curious...how much of a breaking advantage does a carbon fiber shaft really give you when breaking? If a machine broke with the same perfect stroke 100 times with carbon fiber then maple...what difference would be seen? Or does carbon fiber only make up for issues in the stroke? I'm...

    Luck vs Skill Percentage - What Do You Think?

    Soooo...if a player makes a 2 rail kick and cuts the 8-ball into the side pocket which was 12 inches from the pocket...is it luck or skill? We re-setup the shot and it took him 23 tries to make it again. Is 5% a luck shot or is 10%? Where is the line? I'm thinking anything less than 10% is...

    Break and Run Math - Odds

    Sooo...any way to calculate the odds of running two 8-ball racks in a row on a bar box based on Fargo? My example: an established 350 Fargo: I'm thinking 400,00 to 1. Thoughts any math people? (Yes, of course it happened, and I smell a rat.) Just curious.

    Fargo Rating

    Is the math around this number calculatable or is it a "secret" formula we don't really know? (Apologize if this has been beat up already.)

    Jump Shots - Form or Cue?

    The Pros jump balls with such ease and precision. More a matter of great form or does the carbon fiber jump cue make things easier? Is jumping 95% mechanics and only 5% the cue? Or is a carbon fiber jump cue a 'must have' in the case? Thanks all.

    8-Ball - Open... After the Break... % Thoughts

    I'm just curious on what you all believe: how much of a percentage advantage is there to having the table open if a ball is made on an 8-ball rack compared to having to 'take what you make'? 10% better chance of running out or a 50% better chance of running out? I'm thinking the odds are...

    Practice - Drills...NOPE!

    Just my opinion, BUT 90%+ of the pool population need to work on how to physically shoot the ball in the hole with repetitious form. They do not need to do drills to get better. Until having a Master Instructor "scold" me into shooting with repeatable form was I even allowed to shoot a single...

    CSI/Tournament Las Vegas - Total participant question

    As a regular pool player in Vegas...it is always less expensive to stay at least 5 miles away from the strip and rent a car to go back and forth. Do not stay on the strip for a hotel or meals.
