I carry a set of clean and polished Dynasphere balls in the car on league nights. If the house balls are dirty or mismatched ww swap them out for the night. We always change out the cue ball and all teams carry a cueball we are not the only team that brings the whole set.

Mark Wilson says that people play at 70% of their skill level in competition compared to what they do in private practice. Not sure where he got the 70% from, but the conclusion is correct.

This just caught my eye - GC's post. It's one of those PT Barnum sales pitches that piggy backs on the "play like you practice" notion.

Anyway, people practicing correctly will be addressing shit they can't do satisfactorily. Why would this stuff show up in play?

Negative.

Not the sound of the ball hitting the back of the pocket.

I'll stick up for DCP in this thread.... I think he wants the sound when the ball hits the back of the pocket to be louder. And I think the other members are describing mods to their Dimaond to make the sound quieter? At least that's how I'm interpreting this thread. That's why I believe there is such a disconnect.
