I wonder if one of us duplicated a layout on a neutral table and took a picture of it, if the pro that shot it would immediately recognize it, where it was, who his opponent was, etc. Just like the video did with Magnus.

I think there are some 3-cushion players who would remember critical hard shots from particular games. Maybe it would be the same for 9 ball. For both, individual positions are nearly always pretty close to a dozen other layouts they have already played.

If out of warranty, I would probably try a light wet san

Trick of the trade… I rolled it over to the other side.

If needed I sometimes lightly polish the top inch or two of the shaft after polishing the ferrule.
