Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

nataddrho
If we want to be absolutely ridiculous and chic about racking balls, then under the cloth we can drill 15 small holes in the slate, and then fill them with retracting steel pegs. The holes under the cloth are present when racking, like a template, and after a break the holes fill and disappear. You can even time it so that the advancement happens a second after the cluster impact, so that the template disappears while the balls are still rolling.

This must have been done before at some point in time. It will not be the future of pool.

What's absolutely disgusting is that any change to the lineup would make it worse for us. Sadly, this is as good as it gets.

That really looks like Ikea furniture, but if handmade I can see the high prices. However, I don't see a need for handmade IKEA products LOL

BitmanWood is a family business making modern and practical things that people need to make their life more organized.
Working with furniture already for 30+ years. Space Saving Furniture, Modern Furniture, Kitchen, Living room, Bathroom furniture and many other Hand made products.

So yes, high-quality Ikea-style products. I think a lot of people would rather spend more on artisan/craftsman solid wood furniture and get bargains on low quality MDF/particle-board products from box stores, rather than spending on mid-range laminate. I just don't see the appeal.

What kind/brand of Mechanics Level to level a Pool Table

I had a very reputable mechanic in to install and level my 10 foot diamond in the extension I had just built for it.

The room was perfectly ample sized to hold the table with good clearance around if installed in the East-West orientation.

He absolutely refused to install the table lengthwise with the room telling me that he will only install tables aligned with the rotation of the earth! Otherwise balls were going to roll off on long slow shots.

He did his thing and installed the table at an angle. Not one rail is parallel to a wall. I have had to cut down a few of my cues for shots near two of the corners nearest the walls. I made a Christmas ornament with the cutoff of the butt of the SW cue, but the Schon I filed the cutoff down to a doorstop to let more airflow in the room. But I tell you what... this table doesn't roll off in any direction... plays perfectly.

I think it primarily depends on what hemisphere you're in and how far you are from the equator.
I believe the Philippines are in the 15th and 16th parallel North which probably accounts for why they have such good players.

Holy crap.. really... Does he know how much money he is leaving on the table not using a Szamboti, a Searing, a Southwest or many of the other high end custom cuemakers, these are the best playing cues on the planet. Doesn't he read these threads? Someone needs to tell him right away about all the money he is losing not using a super cue. I mean look at everyone who buys these and become an instant world champion... wait? That hasn't happened? But I read all the threads... these are the greatest best player ever... WTF... I am in disbelief... who would have thought...

People need to get over this best cue thing. It’s a stick that hits a ball. Guy on my 8-ball team owns only cues from Temu or Amazon and wins racks all day long. You think Efren would be worse if you chaneed his cue? Doubtful
