Generally everything in this area is VNEA rules. I completely understand when you call ball/pocket it doesn't matter how it gets there. The sticking point comes in when all banks must be called and then the shooter "accidentally" banked the ball it starts to get into the gray area of...

Thanks guys for all the answers. It was just a hypothetical question that someone asked me about. I probably shouldn’t have used the 8 ball in my example since most rules require that to be called anyway. Though in our local leagues if it’s a straight in shot it generally isn’t.

I have a question for the rules gurus. You’re playing 8 ball and the rules state you do not need to call an obvious shot, but you MUST call all banks and combos. You end up straight in on the 8 ball, but miss it so bad that it goes 4 rails and falls into the pocket that you “obviously” were...

yep, I did an image search, and you are correct! Thanks!

Does anyone recognize this logo? This particular one has a one-piece butt that has been coder. No weight bolts and bumper was attached with a wood screw. Came with two flat laminate shafts. One is a 12mm player and one a 13.7mm break shaft. The logo is placed just above the butt cap...

Had a chance to take a close look at a shaft with an IB+ break tip on it and I'm 99% sure it's the same material. The color is identical, and it even has that very slight/small yellowish ring right at the edges that you can see in Kim Bye's picture above. I'm guessing Tiger isn't going to...

I made the comment during the Doggin' it Podcast that "Putting SVB in the Mosconi Cup is like scratching on the same shot 20 times in a row and still shooting it the same way next time"

Honestly, if your fundamentals are really solid, it shouldn’t matter. Think about all the guys who show off by closing their eyes or turning their head. My opinion, not that it’s worth much, is that it truly doesn’t matter, as long as your eyes are still. I do think that looking at the...

Before LASIK it was only CB After LASIK I tend to go more OB. In general I think I still look at the CB on short shots, especially when using English. On long shots I tend to look at OB. It’s kind of like open vs closed bridge. I tend to switch between them without much thought. I think...

possibly. It also looks a lot like the same material as their newer Icebreaker+ break tips. Maybe I should get creative and try using one of those as a "pad"

I have a Tiger Fortis shaft with the orange ferrule, my eyes aren't what they used to be, and I feel like I see it much better than the white ferrule on some of my other shafts. I'm thinking of putting orange on some other shafts just to see how it goes. Anyone have a recommendation/source...

I'm mixed on this because ultimately, it's personal for Fedor and generally not my business, but that being said I'm very also very curious about a lot of things. I believe he mentioned briefly in an interview that the reason he did not go home to Russia when Kristina did a while back was...

I’ll take it. I sent you a PM.

Are they both 30” 12.5mm? Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums

Wow, how do you get a hole offset like that in a lathe? I've had a few Schmelkes and have always used other shafts with them. I have not had that issue, but I can certainly understand why you are disappointed in them.

Billy and Sky seem to have a lot of fun together. Maybe Bob will send them out to do some exhibition matches together.

I just want to be clear on what you mean by "offset". Are you saying the pin is not centered in the butt, or that the diameter of the joint collar is not what you requested?

Looks like Meucci Cues picked up Billy.

I have a question for you guys about break cues/shafts. For years I have always felt like I break better with my playing cue. It has a 12.5mm shaft and a Medium-Hard tip. Of course repeated breaking tends to flatten the tip, so I would prefer to use a break cue. What I have noticed is...

Wearing a mask when you have been in a “bubble” with a small group of people who all tested negative multiple times seems a bit silly doesn’t it? And the all pulled them off to talk while literally rubbing shoulders with each other anyway. Sent from my iPhone using AzBilliards Forums
