Who is ahead???

My mistake...my bad! I remember now it was Lechner I saw with the goatee. Fortunski would probably look good with one too though! An NO...no man crushes here!!! 😒

I saw him on one stream where he had a goatee. It looked good on him. I'm glad he finally snapped a decent tournament off. He was due.

Also, it is possible that the tolerances on the ball "cups" of the trays may not be consistent, making it appear there is that much difference in ball height. Measuring ball size while sitting in a plastic tray is not very scientific and quite possibly inaccurate.

Agreed. I am also a SL6. The way I get down on a shot is so ingrained into my muscle memory/pre-shot routine that I never even think about it. Don't overthink it. You'll end up with "analysis paralysis". Maybe watch this:

My favorite paragraph of 2025 thus far! ^^^ FTR, I've gambled one time in my life (in pool). I saw a post from a fellow AZB'er that was going to be in the Arlington (TX) area and wanted to know if someone wanted to meet up and play some cheap sets. I told him I wasn't a gambler, but that it...

I don't perform much research/testing on table pockets other than occasionally setting two balls between the points. Regardless, in my experiences with Valley tables, they are the easiest tables I have ever played on as far as pocketing balls is concerned.

I'm still looking. Not any luck on here (or Ebay). I don't even know who in the dallas/Ft. Worth area does cue work any more.

Yep. But...why shouldn't they be? At least the newbies could start out with a CF, low deflection shaft. Back in the day, Players, Action, and Viper cues were the starter cues. IMHO, at least these cues are a step up from those. Have you seen today's prices on the Players/Action cues? It's...

The two I ordered both had the leather grip. I like your wrapless model. The choices change weekly. I suppose because of avalability. I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of such an inexpensive cue, made (I assume) in China or Vietnam. The overlays were nicely done, I cannot find a...

Not likely!!! 😅

In the APA rule book, it states that a ball that is moved before the shot is taken MUST be moved back to its original positional prior to the shot being taken. It's a good rule. APA got SOMETHING right. 🤔

But.....should they be????

Surely you've heard of the shot clock, right??? ;) Why couldn't they incorporate the same shot clock system Ultimate Pool uses into the 9-ball tournaments? I'm pretty sure THAT would speed things up!

Also makes it harder to figure out the proper shot and everything that needs to go into that shot. Sloppy pool starts showing up. I don't hate the Ultimate Pool format, I just pefer a good ol' nine or ten-ball race to 11 with a 30 second shot clock.

My personal (and humble) opinion is that the posters that bought the less expensive cues ($129-&159 range) did not get as good a cue as you would have gotten if you had purchased the $189 CXD Series Pro models. Without a lot of table time on the CXD model I purchased, so far I cannot find a...

I feel the same way as you, Jen. Nowadays, I'm going to find the Reyes Cup far more interesting and my only watch.

I absolutely love the fact that the 30-second shot clock is in use. I wish all pool tournaments could find a way to implement this. What I don't like is the time limit for the match. I don't like that the player in the lead can literally stall (by taking the whole 30 seconds on shots that could...

This was my review from another thread. I purchased one of the $189 CXD models: Cue came about an hour ago. It was everything as advertised (almost). The fit was perfect. The finish was nice. It rolled dead straight. Tip measured (with dial calipers) at exactly .5", which comes to 12.7mm on an...

Cue came about an hour ago. It was everything as advertised (almost). The fit was perfect. The finish was nice. It rolled dead straight. Tip measured (with dial calipers) at exactly .5", which comes to 12.7mm on an inches to millimeters conversion chart. It surprised me because it appeared to be...
