I’m not going thorough this 13 year old thread, and I probably wrote the same13 years ago:

Cyclop balls were excellent in staying clean. Miles better than anything else at the time. Dynaspheres today are basically the same ball made by the same company. Both stay clean. The only ball in its class is the Aramith Duramith sets, which we’re not in use 13 years ago. (They were available then, but all the major events were using Super Aramith Pro).

Any actual skids 13 years ago were either slow rolling a full hit, coincidence, chalk, or the Diamond pocket black marks. Def not Cyclop balls.

We had corporal punishment in grade school with teacher’s proudly displaying their weapons, various shaped paddles, on the wall with cute little names like enforcer, screamer .. etc. Agree with it or not we learned not to disrupt the class

Three years ago, an AZer wanted to know if Savannah Easton had gone from using a Revo to a wood shaft---314 or maybe a Predator Vantage?

Later, she's advertised as using a Lucasi Pro kielwood carbon-fiber InFuzed shaft. Latest sighting in Michigan, however, is that she is using a Lucasi Pro Halo carbon fiber shaft. This took up about a page of posts.

The other seven pages of post are arguments whether wood is better than carbon fiber and that the Ko Brothers use wood shafts.

Can you write the titles of Fedor, Filler and Yapp - also include 3rd finishes as you did with the Kos, lets see if that fits one page thats without including a half page photo in the bottom. Also after their names add in yet the same exact winnings listed as "Combined" just write them again as you did with the KOs. Goodluck with that!

The OP has not been with us for over a year. From some of his comments about what he was learning and having trouble with, I'd guess an APA 4 or maybe a 5. He went at the game with energy and independence.

I think on average, at all things other than pool, pool players are about on average. I think that's what makes most of the pros' attempts to form a pro organization doomed to failure.

I have met some top pros who have an amazing memory for shots, but that's kind of what they're supposed to do.
