Yeah, that was brutal. Not nearly as brutal as the color of that cloth. What in the actual f*ck is that all about?

How can deflection be used to advantage?

Well for one, it can be used to skirt around a ball that partially impedes the path between the cue ball and object ball.

Earl is mentally ill, he always has been, it’s just become more evident as the years have passed. I remember the first time I saw him in action around 1980, that look in his eyes like the lights are on but no one’s home.

Hi there! I’ll take the BK Rush Combo [emoji736]

i assume there's no shot clock on side tables. big kaci was torturing this guy obaidli with his slow (and rather poor) play. the guy blitzed him in the second set, as to make a point. won in the decider too.

this is the toughest loser's round 1 i've ever seen. filler, fedor, albin, kaci, and the list goes on..

That is because this Goofy set format. Why they cant just play race to 9...

Yeah, but is it what he said aloud? If everyone needs to be aware of the call, shouldn’t it be vocalized clearly? Regardless of the ‘obvious’ play. I need to watch it again now, but if there’s a level of doubt that can cause that eruption, you’d think to be clearer. I remember finding it funny, but on the side of Shaw watching it previously.

Which ball do you follow after contact

Click to expand...

Most often it's the cueball as it's final resting point is my target. The object ball can find it's target at a wide range of speed. Cueball speed and spin after contact is where precision is rewarded. Planning a precise resting place for the cueball is important for me on every shot. There was a time when I didn't devote as much attention to the cueball finish on game balls. I found myself missing simply because I had not completed my plan with a precision cueball resting place. Even when a scratch isn't the hazard I need to plan the shot to the cueballs's final resting place exactly. Missing game balls is like eating smart pills. My Dad called rabbit pellets smart pills.

So many posters miss the point……please think of it this way which is the correct way, IMO.

The weight of any shaft can certainly seem very heavy when you compare it with a lighter weight shaft.

The shaft weight relates to the balance, feel and energy transfer of your stroke. The shaft doesn’t need to be
heavy. I cannot be clearer. A shaft does not need to be 4 ozs. or heavier. Even a shaft as light as 3.25 oz., which
even my biggest pundits should concede is a relatively light weight cue shaft, can be a great match with the
right weight cue butt. I am not blindly endorsing heavy weight cue shafts. I’m referring to weight proportionality of
a cue’s two halves screwed together. And I will remain persistent that the best names in cue making built their cues
with the shaft and cue weights being proportionally matched and consistently within the % weight ratios I posted.

The premise involves the optimum weight match of a shaft to a cue’s butt weight. A 14.75 oz. cue butt will have a target weight range for a shaft that will vary slightly from a lighter 14 oz. butt or a heavier15.25 oz., 15..8 oz,, or 16.5 oz. butt.

A shaft doesn’t have to be 4 ozs. or heavier. Stop that nonsense because I never said it but some readers might have mistakenly inferred it from my thread about a heavier version Kielwood shaft I wanted built. The KW shafts I needed built
had to be at least 4 ozs. so they could match the orig. maple shaft weights my cue maker used when he built my cues.

is this the same publication as "On the Snap"???

There are at least three different magazines with about the same name. We're talking about the one that was published in Florida.

I like the one where Earl waves his cue at JJ. Bet he shat a little when JJ beckoned him outside
