New Years Resolution

Can anyone explain the physics or reasons a certain type of table inherently yields consistently un-runnable layouts? Explain it to me as if I’m as dumb as I actually am.
There is no such type of table.

Let me qualify that slightly... If the table is so bad that all the balls roll over to the downhill rail, the runouts will be harder until you learn how to run combos along that rail and keep the cue ball off that rail. For any normal table, the patterns a competent breaker will face will be of about the same difficulty. The main normal difference will be in the average number of balls made on the break. Fewer balls left = easier run.

there really WAS an "ames billiards" in nyc

ames was upstairs and was an old outdated dump.
julians was big and upstairs and decent but no action.
migirrs was downstairs and a dump and scary at least in my time.

7,11 was upstairs and ruthless if you weren't a regular. and it had all the best players which of course were all gamblers.
and a few never mentioned like bob the destroyer, 14th street joey, rex berman, brooklyn jimmy ( hustled everyone even for a dollar and could run a 100 balls any day), tommy halliday(staten island, in the top 3 or 4 of the bestplayers), crazy bruce, and a total assortment of con men,(eddie fuockes) thieves, hustlers, and on lookers.

OB Cues?

ive had a few OB cues over the years and pretty much every shaft they made.

Theyre good cues. They were reasonably priced for what they were. The shafts are as good as the predator lineup in terms of performance and deflection but the maple ferrules were ugly and not very durable and had a lot of issues that turned people off.
