    Predator Training Academy in Estonia

    https://www.azbilliards.com/predator-billiard-sport-academy-opens-in-tallinn-estonia/ This is the second training academy with an affiliation with Predator, and Predator brand tables/products. I hope they expand all over the world, and especially in the USA. It could be a resurgence of serious...

    Scheduling conflict- Matchroom Hanoi Open and Reyes Cup clash with Predator World 8-Ball Championship

    It looks like I owe a dozen dollars. Although maybe a doughnuts are worth more today!

    Scheduling conflict- Matchroom Hanoi Open and Reyes Cup clash with Predator World 8-Ball Championship

    I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that MR made up PRA today, out of thin air, as a reply to WPA's letter.

    Scheduling conflict- Matchroom Hanoi Open and Reyes Cup clash with Predator World 8-Ball Championship

    I emailed Predator basically the same thing several months back. Switch to 9 ball and partner with Matchroom. I didn't get a reply. I'm not sure it went to the correct people.

    Scheduling conflict- Matchroom Hanoi Open and Reyes Cup clash with Predator World 8-Ball Championship

    How many acronyms does matchroom have specifically for pool now? 10?

    Play the table not the player

    Dead wrong IMO. If you are playing a much weaker player, and have a hard shot on the 9, you play safe. Win the safety battle, and win the game. That same scenario vs a much stronger player, you shoot the 9. That's 9 ball. One pocket is like that to an even higher degree, on pretty much every...

    Perimeter vs Lite Systems

    I guarantee the raw LED's (the diodes) are the same.

    Scheduling conflict- Matchroom Hanoi Open and Reyes Cup clash with Predator World 8-Ball Championship

    "If" both sides wanted to work together, they would need to do so well before publishing any dates. They'd have to start during the brainstorm stage, IMO. It must take many months to finalize a date with a venue, vendors, broadcasters, etc.

    Perimeter vs Lite Systems

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C9CK1V4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought these for my shop a few months ago. Qty 10 8' long "strip" LED's for $170. They can all attach end to end daisychained. They also sell them in shorter versions. You can buy the shorter ones for...

    Perimeter vs Lite Systems

    When the 2x4 LED's came out about 10-15 years ago, some of the entrepreneuring pool table specific people were selling them for $400 a panel. It was the bare panel, nothing pool specific about it. The same panels were 1/4th the price on Amazon. Now they are even cheaper as they are all...

    Perimeter vs Lite Systems

    I've played under perimeter lights and qty 2: 2x4 LED's end to end. I don't understand how anyone can say the perimeter lights are better. If you add up all the surface area of the 2x4 lights, it's got to be higher. Plus, it's over the bed of the table. The perimeter light is over the rail, so...

    UK OPEN 2024 - Matchroom fails to complete the field, 20+ players short

    The brackets are out and I count 17 byes into round 2, which went to the TOP TOP TOP players, as they should. Maybe it was intentional for the top 16 to have a bye, (and #17 was unexpected)? I'm just thinking out loud...

    WNT Nineball Ranking Event : Scottish Open (1-5 May)

    How are the Vietnamese doing on a world scale in carom billiard sports? Every time I visit a Vietnamese owned room in the USA, the more serious players are on the carom tables.

    Right english results on the oldest pool drill

    Call up geno machino. He will get you straight quickly. Gene Albright (probably wrong spelling). In a nutshell he will have you move your head until your eyes sort of lose focus. Then you move it a hair back. That will get your dominant eye driving the shot. You would do it on every shot, not...

    WNT Nineball Ranking Event : Scottish Open (1-5 May)

    Probably the best thing for our sport is if Vietnam dominates.

    International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

    I think I want to play this event with a buddy of mine that lives in Florida. IDK if I should do the pro or amateur event. I'd obviously be a better fit for the amateur.

    International Open 9-Ball 2024, St. Augustine, FL, Nov. 18-22

    Doubtful, unless their LO is an idiot. Usually a 600 fargo would be an APA9, or whatever the max is. A 600 in APA is God. It is a huge mismatch to make it 650 and/or APA 6. Pat must not have any idea about APA ratings is the only explanation. It's quite possible, as he's been entrenched in pro...

    Scheduling conflict- Matchroom Hanoi Open and Reyes Cup clash with Predator World 8-Ball Championship

    Can anyone find the WPA statement? I saw it on FB on my phone yesterday. But now I can't find it. I'm not implying it was deleted, I just forgot where I found it.
