PGA Player Mic'd Up/Pool Why Not?

They did that at least at one tournament. I was surprised how high some heart rates went. It would be interesting to see that again, too.

While we’re at it; let’s see a speed gun, floating cameras (like NFL) and better telestrators. And whatever happened to the ring girls????

I think the heart rate monitor was the tournament in Romania?

They have ring girls at the Chinese 9b tournaments (at least some of them). I think they only come out when there is a break and run or a table run.

A couple of numbered snooker sets--

A late response to UK9Ball’s question regarding numbered snooker balls. I am not certain why there are numbered snooker balls, but I think it must have been an attempt by manufacturers to grow the game. My one time fumbling around a snooker table in the 80’s, all we knew was that you alternated pocketing red balls with the colored balls which you would then replace when pocketed. It wasn’t really snooker, though still engaging. With a little more knowledge, and, numbered balls, I believe it would have been a much more rewarding experience!


(edit). BTW- I see after posting that Hyatt 4 ball is wrong! lol

Leather to Irish linen wrap

Depends on how thick the leather was, or how deep the channel is now. Most linen is about .025" thick, compared to leather that can be .030" and thicker. I have used 5 minute epoxy to coat the whole channel and then re-cut the channel to the proper depth, and have had to use wood veneer applied like a leather wrap, then sand to the proper depth....it really depends.
Unfortunately, I am using a Unique Products, Cue companion Lathe and have no way to cut the channel

Testing Kicks and Banks on Diamond Brand Tables, and How to Adjust Aiming

Can't, DrDave. I live in DC. The Diamonds I played on were in Massachusetts, Tennessee and North Carolina when I was traveling.

Next time I play on a Diamond I'll try to record a video. Oddly, not many Diamond 9-footers in the DC area, unless I want to drive further into Virginia or Maryland. All the places near where I live have Gold Crowns or Valleys.

You are making me think I am living in an alternate universe!

Sounds good (except for the "alternate universe" part). Thanks.

I find the Predator scheduling quite odd. You would think they want to finish on a weekend like the WNT. Instead, the majority of Predator's events end midweek from Monday to Thursday. Only a few end on a Sunday.

Wish there was more uniformity to scheduling. The lack thereof further compresses an already tight calendar.
