WNT Legends

After 2 days of play, all 4 players had a match record of 1 win and 1 loss. Bustamante had a better rack difference than Reyes (+1 to -2) and Strickland had a better rack difference than Souquet (+3 to -2). So on Day 3 the third-place playoff will be Reyes vs. Souquet and the Final will be Bustamante vs. Strickland.

They moved the starting time for Days 2 and 3 to 10:30 am local time (9:30 pm EST) instead of 10:00 am.
Are the scores posted somewhere?

Pool Ball Collecting.

I have a question about the Poker Pool set and the Romanique III set from the Billiards Museum:

What pool balls are the most similar to in regards to materials? Vigma? Where the colours meet, they look ultra crisp and not like the hazzy way that phenolic resin balls tend to look. I've wondered about that for a while. I've also been wondering when set #3 is going to hit the streets becasue it's been a while now since set #2 (Romanique IIIs) came out and I want to get in on the next set after having missed the first 2.

What killed the slip stroke?

In the early to middle 60's when the Family Billiard program, which Brunswick sponsored, Mosconi was the main Exhibition person. He ran a hundred balls every time I watched him. That was at least 10 times. He wanted brand new felt and unused Centennial Balls for his play. He did not use the SLIP STROKE all the time. Mostly used on his break shot. Earlier a poster said it was difficult to "Slip" being down so low on the cue ball and I agree. Some of his Trick Shots did require a tremendous stroke and his "Slip" was flawless. Of course the Masse' required a tight grip on the butt with no "Slip" there.

Pool Ball Collecting.

Not a car brand but Louis Vuitton launched a set of balls in collaboration with Aramith.
I have these ones, they are absolutely fakes. Unfortunately there are gaps in the 2 resins and other details that just make them feel like cheap knockoffs. I have other balls that are decent "replicas", these aren't that grade. Besides that, some parts of the reproduction are just wrong. Definitely not worth getting them, even as a novelty.
