Just as I suspected 😉 I am a page and a half behind.
With the Snooker league live on the TV.
Coffee cup warming fingers.
Good morning from my fitness room.
Just autographed the table practicing left vs right one handed. (It's cold fingers) so coffee in hand. Oooops

There's a half time. Time to change sides. When playing fart football in the twin bed. 🤷‍♂️
Grampa signed the table. 😉 okay wet the bed. But it'll dry. New game.
It's a fitness program.
Hire the handicap they are fun to watch. 😉

Granted some people carry a 100 buck tab nightly and would gladly pay for the thrill and no other gain. OTOH any kind of player with the standup to give it a shot would absorb the experience real or imagined and be thusly enriched.

There is not a single person in the world that learns by getting their brains kicked in while losing their $$$. Either you're a massive fan boy sitting there with stars in your eyes or you're pissed off that you're losing your cash.

Is this a dumb idea

how'd you get a nut in the slot to mount the indicator arm?

Thats what I thought was cool about it.Just lucky I guess. Bought arm at amazon. Stem of arm is 10/32 or 5mm same as nuts in headstock. You are able to fold arm out of the way or fold it forward to measure your carriage travel. Most indicator bases were at least 1/4x20 or larger from what I remember

Breaking - 1990s vs 2026

Ok, so, I might start breaking with the 9B on the spot and see if I can't draw the CB off the rail.

Can't get any worse results than I have now.

Oh, by the way, three weeks or so........

I mean, try that with the 1 ball on the spot too. Cut breaks can force balls into a corner pocket by sending a few balls that way.

Honestly, this is something you should have already been doing when your regular break doesnt work.

Ok, so, one of my hobbies is that I like to watch old TV shows from my youth. One of the old TV shows that I like to watch late at night is Barnaby Jones. Remember Buddy Ebsen played the older, milk drinking private investigator in Los Angeles.

I was watching an episode last night and Barnaby was in a pool hall talking with a guy playing at a table. In the background, on the wall, was a sign that said:

NO GAMBLING

I thought that was pretty odd for Los Angeles in the 1970s. Was that common place back in the day? Or just something they put up for the show?

They posted them all around the pit at the expo... where people were constantly gambling.

I think they do it so when the gaming commission stops by they can say they arent liable for it.

Breaking - 1990s vs 2026

Maybe they should play 9-ball with a 10-ball rack to start out, with the 9 in the middle.

Afer the break, the 10 ball is removed from the table.

Truthfully while interesting, I find the 10 ball break to be no better than 9 ball. If the racks frozen, or a template is used, then both balls behind the 1 track to the side pockets of their respective side and the corner balls of the rack track 4 rails to the corners and the 1 ball generally goes near the corner past the head spot making getting shape on the 1 easy to achieve.
