Thought I'd add on an article I wrote about the Nap and how and why it affects balls the way it does.

Slow Cloth versus Fast Cloth and Stroke
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
Cloth ...
I think a good player can adjust his playing to any table
conditions within about 15 minutes, as long as the table
is not just plain sh*t.
I like faster cloth and good rails (bad rails can really present
problems at times), but handicap tournaments are harder
because lessor players get better breaks, and they get
shape easier than a slower table. I mean if you are playing
money games and giving up weight (especially the breaks),
you do not always want to play on real fast cloth with super
rails, sometimes less than perfect table conditions will tip the
game in your favor if you are the better player.
I can adjust to slower table conditions probably better than
96% of the players my speed, probably because I am a firm
shooter, and getting shape is one of my strong points about
my game.

How do you know it's 96%? Maybe it's 95%....or 95.5%....or maybe even 95.75%. I think we need accuracy here...don't just round it off to the highest number to make yourself look good.
I KNOW it's not above 96%...from a number of your posts I thought you were kinda full of shit and not that good to begin with.

D'maker,
Perhaps you've not studied statistics in a while. Its a well known fact that 74% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot.

I may have posted this before, if so, too bad, I'm posting it again (slightly modified for effect
:Three fellows show up for a job interview, a golf club maker, a doctor, and a statistician. The interviewer asks the golf club maker "What's 2 plus 2 ?" The golf club maker replies "4". Then the interviewer asks the doctor "What's 2 plus 2 ?", to which the doc replys "Somewhere between 3 and 5". Then the interviewer asks the statistician "What's 2 plus 2 ?" . The statistician replies "what would you like it to be ?".
On this matter though I tend to agree with DM

I was referring to local players here in town that are my speed, sorry,
forgot to qualify that ..... one swat on the back of the hand with a ruler ...
If you want an opportunity to see how good I play, we can work that out...

Sounds good to me...I ain't coming out to Kansas EVER on my own. If you'd like to pay my round trip 1st class air fare, a week at the Hyatt Regency or Ritz Carlton, and pre-book as well as pre-pay a full size car for 7 days in my name....I'll come. We can play for whatever.
Otherwise, if you come to my neck of the woods on your own, PM and I'll pick you up at the airport or give you my home number if you drive.
Quick! - Everyone to the monkey bars, there's gonna be a fight! lol

Snapshot, I'll need a room also; the Hyatt, Ritz, or Swissôtel are fine, but I need a corner room with two-person bubble jet jacuzzi tub (I like to stretch out). I'd also prefer a Bentley and my own driver. Suicide doors preferred, but I hate to sound picky.

Nah...I think Scott is too smart for a long distance woofing match. I think I am. That's why I'd just like to extend an invitation to get in touch if he DOES come.
Of all the things you can get into on AZ such as arguments, disagreements, flame wars, and such...there is NOTHING more stupid than two guys going off from 2,000 miles away trying to prove whose dick is bigger than the other with neither going to get up off of their ass to play with someone they more than likely don't want to play to begin with. Besides, I really don't have any ill feeling towards him as of now. We can flame about something ELSE though...hell, pick a subject.

I don't think I'd be corrupting you...if we were in the same room for any length of time (wouldn't take much) more than likely I'd be spanking and whipping your (favorite body part) just for good measure...not to speak of keeping you in line.
