Kodak is making a lot of money these days from selling film.
Film is quite a thing the last few years.
Developing labs report that they have these days more work than they ever did (but there are less labs around)

Not sure I can agree that a league cut, 4 3/4" Diamond will play easier than a pro cut 4 1/2" will. In my experience with the two tables that would not be true. I have a Diamond Professional league cut 4 3/4", bought new at the start of covid at home, and also play one of my leagues on Diamond Pro Am's with pro cut 4 1/2" pockets. Balls are noticeably easier to pocket on the 4 1/2" pro cut pockets, with less rattling of the balls. Yes the 4 3/4" league cut pockets are easier to hit a ball in, but they rattle more.
My league play starts the beginning of September to the end of April so I have a lot of experience on both. Not only that we have fellow league players at our house to play at times and they also comment on how our league cut pockets play harder.
It will be interesting this year as the other league we play has ordered new Diamond tables to replace the Valley tables they had.
My take now on this is, if I were to ever order a Diamond table for home again, it would be with the pro cut pockets.

You just made my call list the next time I'm up that way.

The bait and gas is on me for fishing. You'll have to earn it on the pool table, but that probably won't be all that tough either...

I think next year, if given ample notice, we’ll see even more amateurs. Which I don’t see as a bad thing.

An all-around would be very hard to handicap. Josh has a clear edge at 9ball, 10 ball seems pretty even, and Fedor would have a slight edge at both banks and one-pocket. Let's hope this happens.

I'd consider it the first marathon match played between the world's two best players in the last 50 years. For the record, when Efren hooked up with Earl in the Race to 120 in the late 1990s, Jose Parica was quite a bit better than Efren at 9ball.

Because the more experience you have the more you realize the problems it creates. In a perfect world the rule is fine, but someone always wants to cheat and call bad fouls. Especially when money at stake

I finally got someone at Penguin Amusements to help me. He said he could send me a set of blank rails 40" long, milled for K-55 rubbers and no holes. $133 for the set or he could make a set with K-55 rubbers, no holes drilled and covered for $333.
