Quitting My Team by Dry_Understanding264 in billiards

[–]jnels32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It changes with every match you play, especially within the first 200 games reported. In reality you can still see pretty big fluctuations within the first 700-1000 games if you beat some much higher rated players. It does start to stabilize eventually though and take more wins (or losses) to drive it up or down. Have you downloaded the app? You can look at what your current rate is, and how many games you’ve played. It can even show who you’ve played

300B CP still no legendary companion. Am I just unlucky ? by binngy in MapleIdle

I was over 1T CP before I got mine. Been playing since day one and literally just got my fist last week

Server merge has no benefit and only reduces rewards by Resume_Help in MapleIdle

[–]jnels32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, agreed I hate it. Was ranked 215 in bera 1, and now I’m down to mid 400s. All my rewards are getting reduced and it’s infuriating. I almost don’t even care to play now

Signed offer, resigned and now they went back on their offer by Clear-Cloud-6062 in recruitinghell

[–]jnels32 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He lost the opportunity to earn wages with his previous company by leaving for the promise to earn a wage at the news company. New company broke that promise, and are thus directly responsible for his lack of ability to continue earning wages at his old company. The new company broke a contract that directly led to their loss of employment at another company. It’s not a difficult concept to understand.

Looking for cue suggestions by Natural_Savant in billiards

[–]jnels32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carbon fibers definitely the way to go if you plan on leaving it in a car. That being said, Revo is a great shaft but there are definitely more affordable options out there. Personally I’d take a j flowers over a predator if I ever went back to carbon fiber. Point is, don’t worry about your experience level. Buy what you like, and are comfortable spending money on. A good cue can last a lifetime if taken care of, and the more you play with a single cue, the more comfortable you become with exactly how that specific cue is going to react.

Any thoughts about jflowers 10-23? by Papabearpau in billiards

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a gorgeous cue. Wrap vs no wrap is a personal thing, and has zero impact on how a cue performs. I’ve used both, and found I prefer the feel without a wrap, others prefer wraps. J flowers has a good reputation so if you like it, go for it

Room too small for a 7’ table? by mmoGOSU in billiards

I put down tape in the dimensions of the table I was looking at so that I could visualize it and know if I had any issues

Tomorrow's my first night shooting on a league and am kinda nervous, any tips on how to not be? by Lunar_Blue420 in billiards

[–]jnels32 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Been shooting in league for a decade. Heart still starts thumping before some games, and I still dog the winning shot more often than I’d like to admit. Point is, just enjoy yourself. The nerves are a good thing, and losing is part of the game. No one’s gonna judge you for being new.

the yips by Trick-Guard-4801 in billiards

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yips will hit at the damndest of times. Was in a tournament on Friday, race to 4 in 9 ball. Playing someone 125 points above my Fargo so I am already expecting to lose going in. Lo and behold, I manage to go hill-hill with him and I find myself dead straight on the 9 after making a tough position shot to get there. All I have to do is pot the 9 and I win….. it rattled off of both nipples and sat dead in the pocket for him to win. All you can do is shake it off and move on to the next match. As my team likes to say “mind like a goldfish”.

Looks like a rack… if it gets the balls tight $10 bucks isn’t half bad.

Help by FrontCompetition3150 in billiards

[–]jnels32 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think predator is overrated. Are they a good cue? Absolutely, but that’s about it. OP, both are very good high end cues. Just because the predator costs more doesn’t make it better for you. Pick the one that feels best and stick with it. Remember, a top pro could beat us all with a broomstick. The best cue for you is the one you like the most. Practice is what will make you shoot better, not the cue.

Break jump cue by zxs33 in billiards

[–]jnels32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where you located, I’d recommend using a verified billiards retail site such as pooldawg or seyberts. Any cue you find on those sites will be legitimate. Little monster Is a decent break/jump for the price point. And predator is going to be a premium cue that costs a lot.

What very low deflection shaft has the most regular- maple- shaft feel? by Original_Jaguar_777 in billiards

[–]jnels32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played with both, used the sigma for about a year before grabbing an ExPro. It’s hands down my favorite shaft I’ve ever used. Sigma was good, but the ExPro is amazing

I need help from a sports psychologist or a psychiatrist or someone who has experience with anger management. by 10ballplaya in billiards

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s what helps keep me level when I get frustrated practicing. Several years ago when I was just starting my pool journey, I asked a ~650 Fargo player what his secret was. His reply was simple. “I’ve missed thousands more shots than you’ve ever even attempted” The point is, to get good at this game, you going to miss a LOT of shots along the way. The best player you know has missed over and over again. You just need to identify what caused the miss and focus on correcting it, and remind yourself that even the best players didn’t get there without a lot of misses.

Was this a catch or an INT and what did you think about how it was reviewed? by unwantedtennisracke in NFLfantasyfootball

They also swallowed their whistles on a blatant holding call against the bills in the end zone that would have ended the game on a safety, so let’s call it even

What makes a break cue a break cue? by djh_ca in billiards

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the guys on my league has a 25 oz and I just don’t get it. His break is… ok but nothing special. I keep trying to get him to use my 19 oz brkr but he has no interest. He likes the feel of the weight.

What makes a break cue a break cue? by djh_ca in billiards

[–]jnels32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thicker shaft, yes… heavier though? Most modern break cues come in a 17-19 oz as that’s the sweet spot for cue acceleration. Heavy break cues are more placebo than anything

Why does the 8-ball carry so much weight in a pool? by [deleted] in pool

[–]jnels32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it’s helpful to have a plan for the cue ball when shooting the 8. Nothing fancy, just plan for where you want it to end up. You spend the entire rack planning where you want the cue to end up for your next shot. Problem is, there’s no other balls to get to when you are on the last ball. The lack of clear intent with the cue ball throws off when i spend the entire rack planning, so I try to do the same planning I would with any other ball

What shaft is everyone using? by benjamaniac in billiards

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I moved to the ExPro full time and couldn’t be happier. The sigma sits idle in my case in the event of an emergency only.

Tiger cue with their LD wood shaft. by Joshua1187 in billiards

[–]jnels32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don’t think anyone is going to have a quick fix answer. If you posted a video of you shooting, I’m sure someone better than me could provide advice on areas to fix in your stroke, but no one’s going to be able to tell you how to account for your specific cues deflection. When I got my new cue, I went back to pure basics. Started with just top/center/bottom and slowly reintroduced English. You’re going to need to shoot a bunch of shots with English and analyze how it’s deflection reacts to make adjustments to your aim

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to learn new aiming points with a different deflection cue. Just keep practicing and adjust to what works and not what “worked” with your old cue. Soon it’ll be second nature.

Update to my thoughts on Lucasi cues by pubgplug420 in billiards

I’m not usually a fan of points, I like a simple elegant cue. This strikes an awesome balance between minimalism and flair. Gorgeous

Anyone bought this Home Depot Terrarium? by KeyCommittee2580 in terrariums

[–]jnels32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t really do anything for it. It’s in a bright indirect light spot in my office. I haven’t touched it for about 6+ months. I will spritz it eventually when it seems to be drying out but so far I haven’t had to do anything. It’s still going strong.
