The archives provide a look at Judds last match. I only saw the second session so watching the first while waiting for Ronnie.
Wst.tv provides entertainment and knowledge. Win win, I personally enjoy watching their eye patterns. The high definition video and world champion analysis makes for A number 1 bargain.

You didn't do any design work when all you did was copy the original look.

2 things.

1) you are 100% incorrect. It seems like you just did what you accused Bob of doing -> speaking without knowledge. You should be sure you know what you are saying before saying it. The design of my hoops is vastly better than yours. Yours is essentially a rectangle with 2 holes in it. That's pretty rudimentary. [for example, if you look at the top of the hole, it doesn't even need to be round because the ball is so far below it. (Interestingly, my "copy" actually improves on your design by spacing it based on ball measurements...)]

2) you simply copied other pre-existing designs. There's a post with variations earlier in this thread. And people have been shooting through the snooker spider bridge in this way for many, many years.

Like I said, you are definitely vested in your design. Which is great. Trying to expand pool is commendable. But query whether your attitude here is presented to the real pool community. If so, you might consider a more amiable approach.

Huh? Last time I checked, Predator is still sponsoring the US Pro Billiard Series.

That tour no longer exists. You are probably confusing it with the current (and inaugural) edition of the Predator Pro Billiard Series, which is International and, in 2026, includes tour stops in Austria, Vietnam, Italy and Indonesia.

The US Pro Billiard Series was an American series of 10ball events. Among the events on that tour, which disappeared after the 2023 pool year, were the Michigan Open and the Wisconsin Open. Part of the problem with that tour was that the level of participation among the elite American players was a big disappointment.
