Too bad he took that one right handed shot near the end, I think he realized it after the fact and then missed the second to last ball. And wow, nice stroke. I'll have to watch one of his right handed frames and see if the stroke is the same.

I would be interested in seeing a similar HSV demo but with tighter angles and no setup ball (it would get in the way anyway at the angles I'm interested in).

I always thought that the reason pounded banks went short was because of the OB basically being enveloped by the rail and then the ball is effectively spit perpendicularly out of the rail, thus negating some of the original incident angle. It depends on how hard the rails are, softer ones make...

The only time I know for sure a guy tried to shark me, I didn't even see it and had to be told about it afterwards. Apparently my opponent was flipping an ashtray around and managed to drop it on the floor just before I pocketed the 9 for the match win. He was even in my LOS but I was too...

Lol, this time I have to go w/no (if true). Why, did you or someone you know play him in Vegas earlier this year?

I heard second hand that Bobby McGrath Jr. successfully defended his title yesterday. Can anybody verify this?

Simply amazing. But the real question in my mind is why is it that when he's talking I'm thinking he sounds like a Latino Ferris Bueller? That's got me a little freaked out right now.

...and/or doublebye caught a necroban, necroing long dead threads being a bannable offense on some of the other forums I follow.

Okay, I've never had a proposition shot to hang my hat on but I'm close. I constantly work on 'the shot that can't be made' from Pool Hall Junkies. If you aren't familiar with it, the OB is frozen to the side rail 2 diamonds up from the corner pocket and the CB is frozen to that (so its one...

I have the opportunity to pick up a 9' Brunswick Anniversary that I used to play on when I was in college. It's in great playing shape but there are a ton of circular dings in the tops of the rails (which I believe are walnut). I can get repro skirts/blinds and anything else that might be...

I was somewhat disappointed when I finally tried this shot, as I hit it good my first 2 tries (didn't leave the CB 5 widths off the rail tho!). Now I just settle for the vicarious thrill of telling other people about the shot and watching their reaction. :-)

When the OB is trapped against the rack you can transfer a lot more spin than the standard 2 percent. I assume that accounts for the spin that you see off a break shot occasionally.

Right, but we only care about the movement of the tip during contact w/the CB, and if the bottom of the pendulum stroke coincides w/that very short time frame, then you get a linear stroke when it matters (w/no complications from the shoulder joint).

You are absolutely allowed to go get your break cue and use it to shoot a jump shot - w/2 conditions. One, you must shoot the shot full stick. Two, it cannot be a 3 piece cue (ie a J/B cue), it must be a 2 piece cue (the Predator BK cues are legal and work well). That is the current APA ruling...

I'm a SL9 in APA 9-ball, and I manage to field a team and even play most weeks w/o resorting to recruiting the mentally impaired. Also, you dont have to come in as a SL4 - just have your LO put you in as an 8 or 9. There is some talk about APA changing the SL cap system so that 7's 8's and 9's...

I have a theory/WAG on this. If you imagine that at one tip of draw the CB is not spinning backwards at contact w/the OB, then that's when the coefficient of friction is maxed out because you're talking more static rather than kinetic (static coefficient always higher than kinetic coefficient)...

I wholeheartedly endorse this product and/or service.

I'll have to try this out on an actual table later, but to avoid the possible battle over the stalemate (which frankly you have the worst of) I would probably play safe behind the nine, and then assuming I get BIH I would again play safe behind the 12 and then win. I have only seen one actual...

So Sputnik was the shot heard round the world? :schoolhouserock jam:

This might be a silly question, but what was the sellers feedback status? I simply won't do business w/someone on Ebay unless they have a rocksolid history.
