what the heck is wrong with my team mates ?

cant get better if you focus on just making balls....

most judge their game one dimensionally.....aska player to rate their gmaes and they will start with what they do best if they ever even get to mentioning what they do terribly.
 
So your team mates are like every other "serious" player (I include myself and everyone on this board, bangers and pros alike)...everyone thinks they're better than they actually are, and when it's demonstrated in competition rationalize the reason why. Human nature. At least they love the game.
 
As for the five who wants to be a six, a good captain will make sure everyone on their team knows their role along with where they actually stand on the table. This should be done honestly and constructively. Let him know what h the needs to do in order to really be a six.

As for the four, if your asking if he should tone it down a bit to suit your needs for a strong four then you are doing him a huge disservice and should tell him to join a team that needs a five or six.
 
At one of those special spas, a 3 quickly can very quickly and easily become a 6.

fyi,

I know what the problem is. A blind man could have seen it in a second. You're not drinking enough.
I have watched league players from across the room and have noticed that (bless their little hearts) they tend to consume vast quantities of adult beverages. And watch their phones. That's what you need to be doing more of.
I know, back in the day, pocket pagers were the big thing. You weren't cool for shit if you didn't have one hanging on your belt.
Well, I couldn't afford a pager so I clipped my garage door opener to my belt and headed for the bar to play pool with my friends. I had dropped it once and there was a little bit of duct tape holding it together, but no matter. I was cool. :smile:
 
That explains it

In high skool in the 60's, I had an old phone in my car and at a stoplight, I'd pretend to talk on it as other drivers saw me.

As usual ...another thread veers off course. No surprise there .

What's. Surprising is how it morphed from apa players to spas where you can get your cue extended 3 to 6 inches to pagers and garage door openers.

Simply amazing :D

lorider is being faceitous with the original post...he's poking fun at the general misconception that all APA players are snadbaggers, and want to keep their Skill Levels down. Cuz he has three new players that all want to go up.

He won't be asking them to tone it down.

Good stuff, lorider :p
