Best reason to resurrect a gallery post is to continue posting pictures!

I see, thanks for answering all these questions. I have one more.. if the cue ball hit the object ball at a very thin cut with a lot of vertical spin, then the curve will likely happen after it contacts a rail right?

Yes, any curve from the thin-cut tangent line (almost parallel with the original shot line) will likely be too small to see.

What are the prices?

Every tap and die set that I have ever owned also comes with thread pitch gauges.

Plenty of people don't even know what a tap and die set is.

This Python table has an all steel frame, solid as a rock. It was my friend Perry's personal table, provided for me by my other dear friend Verna Mariano.

Check it out.

Very nice spread, Jay. So are you living permanently in the Philippines now??

I used to play in a pool hall with the old hanging lights with metal shades. If you are dumb enough (and I was) you could ding your shaft on the lights.

Also, using the bridge in some places with cheap metal bridge heads was dangerous.

I played in a fairly nice hall last Sunday that has low hanging metal pendant lights. I damn sure hit my shaft on one and might have been unhappy if I didn't play with CF.

Doesn’t matter, if they are unplayable they would have not won or even use them

That wasn't any argument that anybody made. No one claimed they were unplayable. Just maybe not the best.

I find it funny that people gripe about the racking noise of Delta Elite w/o inserts. It makes noise for what….3-5 seconds when you rack…. OMG.,… what sensitive ears some people must have?

That's why they have 22 favors...buy what you like. And Blue is for Police. To stay on topic Which Grey is darker that's a tough question.

If my wife took my pool table and left ...I miss my table. Seriously if wives have the say...the table will have claw legs, pink or red cloth and a top for dining.

When my x-wife informed me that it was her or the racecar my first thought was "I am really going to miss her"'

I disagree. Of the three, only Thorpe has even one high finish in WNT play. A much more reasonable view would be that none of them deserve to be selected.

You can be dogged at times, sjm. Very dogged! The only thing I agree with you with is the part I put in bold.

All three are over 30, and none represent the future of American pool. If Johan picked two young players instead of any of these, he'd have my fullest respect and I don't think America's chances would drop much, if any.

Like I said, dogged!

There is only one young U.S. player actually eligible by WNT rules whose inclusion might not hurt so bad. Sam Henderson. He might be able to hang with the big boys.

There are no others, as of now, sjm.

Fracasso-Verner would have fit, but he's hurt. Nathan Childress would be the next-best option, but he's a big step down from Bergman-Woodward-Thorpe. Payne McBride? Nope. He's not even on the WNT rankings list for U.S players. Shane Wolford? Hasn't played in enough events to be eligible. Nor has any other young player not listed here.

Actually, the size of the contact patch varies a lot with tip shape and hardness and with shot speed. For those interested, the math and physics, along with plots, showing how much it varies can be found here:

TP B.22 – How peak tip contact force and contact patch size vary with shot speed​

That is correct.

I was trying to convey that only a small portion of the tip actually touches the cue ball.

Some people seem to think the whole surface of the tip hits it.

I have played long enough to know which portion of my tip connects with the cue ball when using English.
