Another bad sport story:

I don't like this one so much because its just bad for pool. I wouldn't want to post this on AZB, but its true.

One night around 5 years ago I am invited to act as a...

I wonder if they use a crappy ball set with heavy cue ball for these matches. That's the only way a B & R might impress me. Otherwise, its just too easy at their level. I'd like to see them play on...

Lol Eric, yeah I knew that. I'm shallow and all, but she was just too drunk to be taken advantage of. Probably couldn't even stumble out to my car!

So many come to mind, but I will mention a few.

Long ago there was a bet going on between 2 guys, Lenny and Gloves. Not sure what went wrong, but the next thing I know, the biggest guy in the...

Not for nothing, but this new format sucks. I cant call this an improvement, seems like we took a step backwards in time. If I was the spammer/hacker who caused all this, I'd feel pretty good about...

Sure, the MR is designed for a tight rack. People can get sneaky though, create a trick MR template. Its probably possible to file down the holes in a certain way, to make the 9 ball move more.

So...

For me it was more of a mental thing I had going on, and the mounting frustration that goes with it. I call it "the sports attitude." Had to make my number 1 rule: No matter what happens, dont get...

Check the gaps he makes around the 9 ball when he racks. If the gaps are consistent, he may be guilty. To be sure, see if he can do the same on another table. (That would be tough to "accidentally"...

When is the calcutta? High roller that I am, I got 10 bucks on Eric!

Muhahahaha!

I hope to be able to make this trip sometime, its on my bucket list. Have fun people!

Rotating cue balls is a good idea mac, I did that alot before I got the polisher. My post made it seem like the stuff I use is waxy, but its not. Its a clear fluid, works great. If I only had 3 balls...

Youre probably right, we dont need to chalk as often as we do. But if you run the balls through a machine after each use, they stay clean enough to use all day. That way, you can chalk to your hearts...

Rich, my wife doesnt play either..... how else could I claim such status?!

Effectively? I dont like to brag or anything, but I am the best player in my whole house!

I agree with you Dave, different methods for different shooters and all. I dont seem to notice any throw if I shoot hard, especially if the balls are clean. I'm sure its there anyway, but not enough...

Interesting Dave, thanks. On #35, I can relate to inside being more consistent, throw wise. But personally, I still wouldnt consider that helpful overall when it comes to pocketing balls.

On #36:...

Assuming a player habitually strikes a quarter tip left or right of center, an opposite type of offset can help. But using inside english alone wont do the trick, that would only confuse a player...

Brad, for what its worth, RKC says any table with k66 rubber wont play the same as a brunswick type table. The faster cushions have a k55 profile, either artemus or brunswick superspeeds.

From what we know of him, Sid does seem to draw some conflict. I just wonder what set his opponent off like that. Someone must have said something they shouldnt have. Or was the guy just pissed off...

I would have gone diamond, but they dont use those in my area. If RKCobra lives up to half of his name I'll be fine anyway. I think he will do a nice job. As far as a claim goes, I dont see why not....

LOL Rich, count me in on that one. Nice cases but I will never support that lunatic. I once asked him to see the proof on cte he claimed to have, and he ended up threatening me!

If it came new, its probably what they say it is. Only way to know for sure is to cut the rail cloth, but that may not even be the problem. I would want to see if other tables like it played the...

Brad, was it a reconditioned table? See if you can find out what kind of rubber came with your table originally. If it was k55, you got hosed too, bambuzelled, hornswaggled even!
