Seems kind of bouncy to me, closer to a Diamond than a GC. Hard to say for sure unless on the table. The aesthetics are out of this world good though.

Wonderful post. Ray Martin needs some convincing to tell his story on our podcast. We are trying to get the others you mention who have not been on. Billy, Nick, Sigel and Fleming are done.

As a great action player and BCA Hall of Famer who moved on to produce the roughly thirty-year-old Super Billiards Expo, Allen Hopkins has a pool story that few can match.

It would be great to hear from a higher skilled player who's play has improved using either of these systems. Thanks!

I improved from legit 525 to legit 558 Fargo in 1 year, and I think the icats system helped with that to an extent. I think doing drills helped, and I would mark them out on the table off paper diagrams. I've only had the icats for a couple of months, but they include the same drills that I have been doing and make them easier to visualize and set up.

Also nice, is that with a push of a button, you can reverse the drill and practice the other direction. I don't have any experience with PPB, but I seen the iCATs and talked with a couple people who had it beforehand.

Wishing Fedor the best of everything in the aftermath of this surgery. He is not only a magnificent player but an enduring credit to the pro game.

I used to think that too. On my home table (in the basement), I play with McDermotts with the higher-end McDermott shafts. I've always liked McDermotts. Every once in a while, though, I'll bring down a Gus to play with. I play noticeable better with my Gus. I can't explain why, but it's not in my head. The Gus just "plays better". I'd even say "much better".

Technically it's a melding of 2 systems - cue and shooter. It's a 'loose fit', dynamic arrangement where there's bound to be resonance and conflict. Motts and Bottis...
