You don’t need it but I do. You can send the 10k via cashiers check or PayPal. You can also buy the table directly from Diamond and have it delivered to my house.

Don't write off Robertson & Ding even though they are in much tougher top half. They are the dark horses. Really, they only have to beat maybe 3 World Champions. No sweat.

Casual fans don’t want to watch referees, in any sport, looking at replays. It isn’t casual fan friendly and pool needs numbers.

I don't agree with that. I think in most matches the viewer wants 1 player or the other to win which makes the outcome of the call very important. I think the viewer also wants to see a replay of the shot so he can make an informed decision himself on whether its a good hit or not.

Looks fun but I bet those pants are no good for sitting around.

Did the same person also tell you that if the cue ball is very close to or touching the rail you move it a chalk width away??

I use the radius of the cue butt x2 at my house.

No other athlete, in any other refereed sport is expected to penalize themselves.

Golf and snooker both come to mind. In both sports players are expected to call rule infractions on themselves and they regularly do so on the biggest stages.

Obviously snooker is the closest analogy. In snooker the players routinely call a foul on themselves for touching an OB, feathering the CB, double hitting the CB etc. even when there is a referee standing right there watching. I’ve seen dozens of televised matches where the player calls the foul and the referee didn’t see it.

The player in those situations is an a position to know with certainty that they fouled. I’ve said earlier that this particular situation (which ball is hit first) is harder and the closest example I’ve seen was a player asking the referee go watch a replay because they thought they might have hit the wrong ball first (he had not). In that situation I don’t know what the player should do if the referee does watch the replay and thinks it’s a good hit but the player thinks it wasn’t.

If the CB is touching or close to the rail you can flip the CB upside down

I haven't hit a ball with it, but when I stopped at Jacoby about a month ago the guy was talking about how they are changing the direction of the fibers or weave or whatever at various points in the shaft to control the flex point and stiffness. It made sense in theory.

Someone told me that if a CB hits the OB and the OB slow rolls to the pocket without hitting a rail, but crosses the imaginary "rail line" it is not a foul, any truth to this?
Personally, I would call foul, but I could be wrong...

From that vantage the camera is closer to the expressway than the expressway is to Cabrini, yet you claim to have seen more Cabrini detail from the expressway.

And for the others who were nervous being near a (gasp!) housing project - I've been driving past and through them for 50+ years... never nervous, never a reason to be. You must bring your reasons with you.

Can you not see how small the cars are in that pic? You are basing an argument on a very lame picture. I never said we were nervous about driving past dangerous neighborhoods, I merely said that it wasn't a place I would choose to hang out. You can drive thru whatever neighborhoods that you would like to, IDGAF, if you don't look around and consider escape routes when sitting at a red light you are a fool. If people started shooting today at an intersection while I was present it would not be the first time I was witness to it.
