Testing Kicks and Banks on Diamond Brand Tables, and How to Adjust Aiming

FYI, I just posted a new video that shows how to test a table to determine if kicks and banks go short or long compared to typical pool tables. I also tests new 7’ and 9’ Blue Label Diamond brand tables with new cloth to see how they perform, and he shows how to make aiming adjustments when a table is banking short. Check it out:

Alban goes undefeated to claim Sullivan Open Tour ‘550 & under’ event

NYC’s Erika Alban has been competing in and around the city for about two years now, and though, prior to this past weekend (Sat., March 28), she’d recorded only one cash payout with us here at AZBilliards, she was building up an impressive resume at mixed-gender tournaments. Two years ago (Feb./March ’24), she claimed the (single gender) CSI BCA’s 8-Ball Women’s Championships in Atlantic City and went on that year to win three events on Mhet Vergara’s ProAm (MVP) Tour and a pair on the Action After Dark Tour in NYC. Last year, she chalked up five wins and two […]

This Is What I'm Talking About

In the past, before all the changes to the break in 9ball, running out at the pro level was more often, and it wasn't uncommon to see a players run a bunch of racks in a raw. back then, the ability to string together run-outs was indeed a mark of level of play, so I get where the focus on running out racks comes from.
If you play 9ball by old break rules and racking, then running out is something to strive for. If you rack and break by WNT rules then the ability to run out is just luck on how the balls land after the break.
BTW, even if the 9 is on the spot with template racking but without restricting to breaking from the box, running out is still in high percentage, as breaking from the rail with a square hit at the right speed (of the table) will send the wing ball to the top corner and the 1 ball towards the bottom corner leaving in most cases an easy start on the 1ball and a good chance to run out.
Never higher than 30-35% and only a select few were capable of that. I've been watching pro pool a long time. I stand by my 25% average amongst all professional players.
