The problem I have is that Gray doesn't look good on either my Gold Crown IV or Diamond Professional. The GCIV is Mahogany and the Diamond Professional is Oak/Cherry. Gray just doesn't look good on either. Gray looks pretty good on a black table, however.

Guess I will go with Apple Green on the Diamond and Powder Blue on the GCIV.

Camel on the GoldCrown. I have gold Simonis on my mahogany GC.. would use camel next time.

I’ll have the fish fudge Mcflurry please.

I'm getting pretty psyched about Kaci vs Filler in the semis. Here's how I see it.

I Strength of Play

A. If one of them brings their "A" game and the other brings their "B" game
The player bringing their "A game prevails here. Each can dominate the other on the right day.

B. If both bring their "A" game
I think Kaci, because of his incredible break, has a slightly higher ceiling than Filler, so I think he wins if he's at the absolute top of his game.

C. If both bring their "B" game
Filler is better at defense, kicking and is more creative in his use of two-way shots than Kaci. I'd say they are even at jumps and at push-out strategy. Filler is a slightly better runner of the table. If nobody is dominating and both players get a lot of table time, I think these advantages will mean Josh wins.

II Type of Match

A. Offense Oriented
If the match is offense oriented, Kaci needs to outbreak Filler, as Filler runs the table more consistently than Kaci.

B. Tactically Oriented
Filler's advantage in the tactical portion of the game is substantial, and I can't imagine Kaci outplaying him in this part of the game.

C. An Even Mix of Tactical Play and Total Offense
In this scenario, things should stay close all the way to the end..

Summary

I have no idea who will win this, but I cannot wait to watch at 1:00 AM New York time.

Just found out a bunch from David Micah Sanchez after finding his following ad post on facebook:


So, going back to this picture:



The second tool in the right column is for using specialized curved blades (more expensive and harder to find) and is not necessary. The last tool in the right column is an additional screw for holding in the blade assembly, again not needed. He also state there is a self centering plastic collet that runs the full length of the tool on the left side of the picture plus the tip centering applicator and some extra blades for $90 shipped (no taxes, etc.). He was very helpful and is a member of Kentucky Billiards Market on facebook.

Looking forward to trying this out with some cheap tips and the old crusty and unclaimed shaft I found tucked in a back cabinet where we play.

That pink is disgusting...

Baseball and golf are so highly analyzed already that it would serve little purpose.

My son lives in San Diego and was fitted for a full set of clubs (14) at the Taylor Made factory in Carlsbad where all the top name equipment brands are located. I gifted him a full set of Shafowfall irons, Qi4D driver, 3 wood, hybrid, Volkey wedges and putter. It was done over 3 days because it otherwise would have been exhausting with hundreds of swings required. The fitting took 6 hrs….. 3 sessions 2 hrs ea. (driver & woods, irons, wedges/putter).

The information gathered and used was mind boggling and high speeds video was so revealing and informative. Unimaginable analytical details are revealed about your swing and equipment dynamics.

I can’t imagine Digiball revealing one iota of data not already captured and displayed with re-enactment and actual high speed video. Keep in mind I am a proponent of Digiball from its inception.

It’s just that there are some things it cannot compete with and baseball, tennis, golf instruction are so much more advanced than Digiball that’s not here yet but hopefully soon.

What's interesting is she and some other women play better against male opponents. Seen that more than once.

I don't watch the women pros much so can't comment on that. One thing I have noticed though in the amateur ranks (good players) is that it's not unusual for men to play subpar against women they should beat.
It's happened many times against Samantha Easton in the Under 650 and similar tournaments back when she was a high 500/low 600 fargo.
