Maybe you’ve seen it all, but I haven’t. Just $32 a year, and no, it’s not just pictures. Plenty of good information for people like me. Great story on Mika before he died.

look back in the archives 60 or 70 years for some of bob's great informative articles.

The archives are good too. Glad there is still one industry mag alive.

Last year here in JAX at both the International and the Predator event there were a number of Asian players including Capito using those inhalers. It didn't appear that any of them were sick/congested, anything like that.

Many "decongestants" have stimulant properties.

When I saw him snorting that, I immediately wondered what WPA antidoping policy might have to say about whatever that was. The list of things you can't use is primarily normally prescribed medicines.

Ok, thanks for the info.

But I must ask - what shade of grey? Or is there only one shade of grey by CPBA cloth?

Brah....go to their website.

No matter what color you play on....you won't be a rack runner.

Just curious what the consensus was on racks.

I know there are the Diamond racks, the titanium racks, (way back the Sardo's), and the custom wood racks... so, do they really do the job better than your average house plastic/wood rack?

I have a delta 13, and I think I prefer it to the plastic racks. I wonder if the wood racks would get indentations over time. I am choosing to not worry about it and use my delta-13.

Personally, I can't stand the noise of the delta-13 without some kind of insert (even a bad insert works wonders).

Plastic racks = junk

The Diamond wood racks are excellent, but previous comment about goop/crud brings it down a notch.

I’ve got a Delta 13 for home and never a bad rack, period.

Racks aren’t always the issue; good luck racking in commercial settings where balls are worn, mismatched, clingy/dirty, and where the cloth is deformed from dozens of people racking over hundreds of times in slightly different spots.

This looks cool and it’s a nice restoration but it’s not playable anymore.
As he said at the beginning, the customer has sentimental feelings for the cue so it’s nice that it was repaired but I would not use it anymore

Yeah the rack matters for sure. A good solid triangle enables you to push the balls tight together compared to the ol' flimsy and springy black triangles in most clubs. Additionally, as most (recretional) players slide the rack to the correct spot, the bottom of the rack should be made in a way that it doesn't damage the cloth.

And the national anthem being performed by some dude they pulled from the third row when he volunteered.

"Yeah, I think I can do it. Ya'll got the lyrics on a teleprompter? Ok. I'm in."

The harmonica player at the open ceremony nailed the National Anthem. I asked Emily to put it on youtube but she said that was not her department. They need to figure out whose job it is and get it out there. Americans will hit that link for years it was done so right.
