If you've run 100 at any point in your life, you know the game inside and out. Full stop.
The OB Classic from what I recall is mildly low deflection, but not as low as the 314 series of Predators, or the current Predator Revo series.

Switching to a cue with a longer pivot point (which means less deflection), IDK if it will actually improve your game. But it's really easy to do, IMO, having done it myself. Your brain will re-adjust to the new aiming lines quite quickly.

On the other hand, and I'm contradicting myself here, I find it about impossible to adjust the other way, and go from a Predator cue to a normal house cue with high deflection.

Just to put this in perspective based on your questions. I am 83 and trying to maintain or better a 585 Fargo by playing in 2 eight ball leagues a week using a parallel aiming system. One pocket is my favorite game but I do not get a chance to play it much. My custom cue is Alex Brick/John Davis with an OB Classic shaft. Using a home table I practice several times a week trying to improve specific shots. I don't gamble except for chump change. Many years ago I ran over a 100 straight pool and 7 racks of 9 ball. So basically I'm trying to get a little better before 'gravitation' takes its final toll.

These guys patently eschew big omelets (my new expression for BnR packs). All the guys on tour pass all kinds of bnrs. I think they'd rather stay in the game than blow it on glory. They will economize fuel and systematically work the opposition, picking off the inevitable gains.

Buddy Hall said he ran six (I heard one handed behind the back but that's not reliable info), ran six and who beat him?

Have no idea where this goes. I'd frankly rather string 50 racks every time I get up.

I like the room itself to be dark but not the table itself

This is funny, you start with you weren't aware that members here are retarded and then proceed to state something that makes your OP moot... You can't make this $h17 up.

Yeah... makes sense, most special olympics contestants aren't aware that they're really special until it's pointed out.

All jokes aside, ya gotta have a thick skin around here buddy, trust me. This is over 20 years of regular posting talking.

I like over the table lighting.

I hate ceiling lighting.

Pool is supposed to be played in a dark setting.

Why?

Because I said so.

When I grew up, pool halls were dark and recreation centers were well lit.

Pool halls had beer, gambling, unsavory characters, etc.

Recreation centers had Dr. Peppers, no gambling, and unsupervised kids getting Cheeto dust on the tables.

I like pool halls.

Ha Ha, that's the closest of the three about 26 miles, the others 33 mi and 38 mi ish. There is a cost to living away from the city, but so worth it.
There is zero glare to these lights, they are the best I have ever seen. Absolutely no spilling of light around the room.
