8ball is so ass. Missed a positional shot? Don't worry, there's SIX other balls to choose from. Missed another positional shot? No worries, there's another 5 balls to shoot, just take your pick.

I agree for the most part in terms of pro 8 ball on 9 footers. I like watching 8 ball on bar tables- it is interesting to see how they deal with tie ups- how they break them out

Testing Kicks and Banks on Diamond Brand Tables, and How to Adjust Aiming

As the cloth gets older and/or humidity gets higher, the table will bank even shorter and using these aiming system might result in a miss. Not to mention pocket size, on 4.25 or 4 inches that small difference that in this video made the ball will rattle and sit in the jaws.

If you want to be accurate, the systems require aiming adjustment based on conditions. This is true with all table brands, but the adjustments required on Diamond brand tables are larger.

I am thinking of going to the US open in Texas

C
I can not find much information about the us open other than hotel and tickets to the event on the WNT webpage. It has been over 30 years since I went to the US open in Virginia a number of times. Wondering about how the experience is now. Any feedback would be appreciated. What time do the matches start and end? When you buy a ticket, is it first come first serve on the day of the event as far as where you sit or are the seats assigned? Are players and non players able to mix together? I really enjoy the tournaments at Skinny bob's because the players and non players are mixed together in the pool room and you could be sitting next to a world champion and most of them are more than happy to have a conversation.
