Now that my new Diamond Professional is about a month away from delivery I am wondering where I can get some of those little Simonis stickers to put on it? I think they come in two different sizes.

Anybody know where they are sold? Or should I just contact Simonis up near Chicago?

Why junk up a new, expensive table?

still making zero sense here. just who is this 'money crowd' and how are they in collusion? to do what? if you were aiming at being vague you win.

Relax, you're not on trial.

I agree, quite annoying. (def not as bad a slow play though). This shows up even more on the Predator shoot out format. They have to wait for the CB to stop rolling when it's heading right to the middle diamond before setting up the spot shot again, and again, and again.

And then the "air stroking" rage came into being and the "surveying" and stalling started.

People walking around the table measuring, looking at every angle and then air stroking dozens of times, getting up, getting down, getting up again, surveying some more....etc, etc, etc.........

People would have laughed you out of the pool hall if you did that back when I grew up playing.

I have played for decades and ran thousands of racks and have NEVER, EVER, spent 5 minutes looking at a ball or surveying, no matter what game we were playing or how much it was for.

It pains me to watch most tournaments now.

Who 'm I but air shooting the shot does work. Any alignment error is immediately evident and you can adjust that until it locks in. This is not mere air stroking in some cool pose but air rehearsing the shot until you can't miss it.

Two guys were woofing one day when one guy offered the other guy the 8. The other guy replied
“I’ll get down on my hands and knees and crawl naked all the way to your place for that game”. It was about 50 miles away

In Maryland there was a local trick shot artist named Chester Morris who once got quoted in a local newspaper as saying he'd "swim a sea of sewage to play Minnesota Fats." When I saw that article, I got a girl I knew at the pool room, Jenny Gale, to draw a picture of Chester swimming across the sea, complete with a snorkel, while on the other side a terrified Minnesota Fats was sitting on his throne with a king's robe, sweating bullets. I wish I still had that picture.
