If someone asks, I'll tell them. I have nothing to hide!
Filler was my pick to set the record. He shoots as straight as Jayson and he plays straight pool even when he doesn’t have to lol. I figure he will be putting up big numbers at the same pace as Jayson or better. I think he said something like he runs 200 a day on 4.25” pockets.
I watched an earlier rack on another run where he had maybe 5 balls in the spot area that only needed one or two balls cleared but he ignored that and went another way. I forget what he did but he got out of that rack anyway. I'd like to see the winning run - especially the epiphany and transition. Genius in action.
Your kidding right? Most golf scores are made or not made by the pros based upon putting scores. Increasing or decreasing the size of the golf hole significantly would cause havoc with scores- both up or down based on the change. Golf courses with smaller golf holes will play to higher scores and vice versa. Records for the best scores on any course will be shattered on the courses with large golf holes.
You would win that bet. Unless one of these guys figures out a way to play that super close position like Mosconi. Missing a break shot will end a lot of runs BC you either need to get steep angles to hit the break shot more softly and still break up the rack, or hit the more shallow break shots much harder to open the rack- either way the miss % on your table goes up over 20 racks.
Mike, respectfully, I’m not sure what happened here. But I have no idea what you’re saying and how you got there from what I wrote, which did not even mention increasing or decreasing the cup size, but talked about the difficulty of different courses. And no, I wasn’t kidding.
Well, then, I'll continue to the next logical sentence from your statement, better players prefer tighter pockets because, to them, it makes the game more pure, less slop, more skill, which, then ,logically is just saying that the tighter pocket is one factor that makes the better player a favorite. Unless someone has a different definition of what makes a player "better" than another player.
Home run distance is different in every park, just saying.....
Sorry if I mis understood.
All tighter pockets do is give the lessor skilled player a faults sence of security by convincing that player he/she has a better chance of being able to at least prevent their loss, or maybe even a chance to win. What they fail to realize, even with tighter pockets, if they're the lessor skilled player, they're still going to lose. Its not like the better player is going to say, omg, I can't play on a table with tighter pockers.
All good my man - always enjoy your posts.
And so is the distance of long shots between a 7ft, 8ft, 9ft and 10ft pocket pool tables!
And yet, its the same distance between the pitchers mound and home plate, regardless of the outfield fences, right?
What do you want to bet its the same distance for a runner to run the bases requardless of which Professional base all field they're playing at? Just saying....
Did you know home run hit balls travel further in Denver, CO than they do in Seattle, WA?
Here's a few more thoughts...
Wait, what temperature was the room Jayson ran the 714 in??? Was that regulation??? Must stay between 67 and 69 degrees at all times.
Why so tough? Can't be much fun.
