    Best and worst commentator??

    Scott Frost and Josh Roberts are my favorite commentators for One Pocket. I don't like Nick Varner as a commentator because he begins every sentence with "and uh"; it's kind of annoying after awhile. However, I do like his indepth knowledge of the game. I like Ken Schuman as a commentator. He...

    Turning Stone Classic XXXVII Underway

    I watched it for a while on youtube and noticed the rather unusual single globe pool light over each table. Does anybody know anything about that type of light? It appears to be illuminating the table surface quite well.

    Best commentator in pool

    I thought the commentator for the 1966 Crane vs Balsis straight pool match was amusing, but certainly not the best.

    OMEGATV WILL HAVE OUR OWN ROOM AT THE DERBY CITY CLASSIC-HIGH STAKES ONE ON ONE TOURNAMENTS-EARLY BIRD PASS AVAILABLE NOW-WWW.OMEGABILLIARDS.COM

    I keep getting an "Unknown Error Has Occurred" when watching the reloops. There is no audio of the players interaction or crowd watchers reaction in attendance. So far, I'm not happy with this PPV service, maybe it will improve over the next 4 or 5 days.

    Pool is dying as is, why make it worse by turning it private?

    I appreciate the opportunity to choose a PPV service to view top ranked pool players competing against each other because I get to see the players close-up and at different camera angles along with expert commentary. My only complaint is that some PPV services lack quality, like the audio and...

    What Pool Table Lighting Would You Like to See ... ?

    How about a racking template with a source of lighting embedded into the template material. That way the racker could easily detect whether or not each ball is frozen to the ball next to it because if the ball wasn't frozen light would shine up in between the balls where the contact point is...

    What Pool Table Lighting Would You Like to See ... ?

    What is most important to me is a lighting configuration that is as close as possible to creating "shadowless illumination".

    What does pumping the cue over and over up in the air before their shot do for the pros?

    It's equivalent to playing the "air guitar".

    What's up with Rodney Morris?

    I was one of those military guys on R & R in Hawaii from Nam back in 1970. Went there to meet my New Jersey girlfriend and had no time for shooting pool. However, I did make over $5000 gambling by shooting pool against other military guys in the service recreational club houses in 1970. I was...

    SCOTT FROST VS FEDOR GORST FINAL DAY-WWW.OMEGABILLIARDS.COM-14-9 FEDOR LEADS

    I thought the match would be closer but it wasn't, however, I still enjoyed it. Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 Reloops all had synchronization problems, that is, the audio was ahead of the video, very annoying. The real time streaming was much better but it did have some sychronization problems as...

    Day 2 loop, Scott & Fedor?

    I watched the Day 1 Reloop yesterday (Saturday) and the video quality was ok, but the audio was not in sync with the video, so I heard the results of the shot before the video showed the shot actually being executed. Kind of annoying so I just muted the commentary. Day 2 Reloop not available as...

    Personal Safety Thoughts When Returning To Pool Rooms

    How about combining all the recommended low tech ways to protect yourself with a high tech solution, namely, a portable, handheld Ultraviolet - C (UVC) wand to kill the COVID-19. I'm not sure how effective these devices are but they say it's especially good for sanitizing cell phones and...

    First states to reopen Pool Halls?

    In Florida, during the Phase 1 re-opening which started May 4th, bars must remain closed. So, I think any pool room that serves alcoholic drinks is considered in part a "bar".However, I did notice that one pool room in Ocala, FL re-opened May 4th at the 25% capacity rule, I'm guessing that they...

    The Color of Money (film 1986)

    Song The song "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon remind me of the movie TCOM I liked both movies. I would like to see a Quentin Tarantino version of a pool movie.

    Top 10 Things You Need to Know about THROW

    3 eights inch gap For me, the take away highlight from your videos is the 3/8" gap between balls demonstration. Very good to know. All of what you demonstrated is kind of instinctive to me after shooting balls for over 50 years. Very good demos as to why and how.
