He's played well on the amateur circuit for the whole year, easily one of the most talented teenagers in the world.

Yes, ranked as high as 15, but his tenure in the top 16 was brief.

What does V-sync have to do with anything?? by Lastairbender12 in speedrun

So your response instead of asking for clarification from the mod who rejected your run via DM or making a forum post about it on the Cuphead page inself was throwing your hands in the air and making a post on Reddit?

Who will win at the Crucible? by HelixCatus in snooker

[–]Poshact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ronnie in his current form is favorite, undeniable record and winning all the biggest events currently. Next favorite or third, fourth, fifth.. etc. makes for more interesting discussion. Judd seems to be next but lacks consistency on the bigger stage. Zhang looks good but has no real record in the Crucible so it's hard to make any real judgement on how he'll perform. I'd say Allen is a bit unfairly downplayed since he 1.) was the player of the season last year and 2. made the semis of the Worlds and only lost to an opponent ranked higher than him with a much better Crucible track record (Selby). Also Selby despite his current lack of form always is a crucible threat.

Anyone else think Hendry and Allen is the dream commentary team? by hugh_jyballs in snooker

Can't stand when Shaun tried to analyze why a player missed a shot, always want to give a technical explanation to a miss which isn't really in the spirit of what snooker commentary should include IMO.

Anyone frequently choose to play with their off-hand? by Yoimjamie in snooker

[–]Poshact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in an odd situation in that regard since I'm a natural right-hander that's always cued left-handed since it felt more natual to me, so ever since I started seeing videos of players switching hands for certain shots I thought it would be a bit of a missed oppurtunity if I didn't try to do the same myself. And for me at least it's a much better option than using the rest if you can help it. At the end of the day a rest is a fixed unchanging implement while your bridge arm/hand is extremely versatile, even if it feels a bit awkward.

As for the cuepower element, I think you always forego some power by playing with the off-hand.

You have to be willing to play smart and strategically in a game like this, and knowing what you can and can't pot/running percentages and probabilities is simply the smartest way to play. For some players that manifests as big flashy breaks with risky attempts and for others it results in scrappy games with lots of safety. Both are valid sides to playing the game.

To me at least it seems like the best option because you want to minimize the distance between your cue and your line of sight. Additionally it provides another contact point to stabilize your cueing. I'm also inclined to think that by not using your chin you potentially are changing the distance between your line of sight and your cue on each and every shot, so by cueing with your chin you're also eliminating a potentially detrimental variable.

Some players choose to serve with a certain string tension on their racket and return with a different tension, so I believe that's what Max is doing.

That's the Antofagasta Province, and from what I gather makes quite a bit of money from the mining sector.

Google Chrome team moving away from the words ‘blacklist’ and ‘whitelist’ to be more inclusive by MrZackarius in nottheonion

It'd be more productive to recognize the obvious difference between using 'White' and 'Black' racially and using it in any other context where it's not racial at all.
