I feel like I have seen more in brown. But I could be wrong.

I should have been clearer. The instant black case has more ornate/detailed -- "fancier" -- leather tooling than the other brown, tooled cases I have seen. (The leather work on my brown case pales in comparison.) Before this one I have only seen the "fancy" leather tooling on black cases -- the Hustler cases depicted elsewhere in AZB. This is the first brown case with "fancy" leather work that I have seen, but, admittedly, my exposure is limited. (The leather work on the cases depicted in Brunswick catalogs, which are brown cases, is of the plainer variety. Neither A.E. Schmidt or Brunswick seem to have sold a black leather case of this ilk.)

I’m not sure. It will be France. I not sure if the web is a thing over there
Maybe Germany too, I get a hankering for pork knuckle now and then.

pro tip for the pork knuckle. in bamberg in bavaria they have pork knuckle cooked for 8 hours in rauchbier (smoked beer). my favorite "knödel" on the side is schupfnudeln, but i don't remember if they have it in the rauchbier pork knuckle joint.

the city is gorgeous in itself, very "happy bavarian" in culture, beautiful buildings, etc. i've been to their yearly festival, and while everyone is drinking beer from lunch to late night and it's crowded streets i saw zero violence/brawls, just spontaneous singing and dancing.

france, unfortunately, is not in an ideal situation right now. stay safe.

Ask him not to.
But honestly, if you’re playing on a 9ft with 4.5inch pockets or tighter and the 9 is on the spot, unless he’s a 700 fargo or higher , it doesn’t matter

Carrier not U-Haul.

The best..just use Aramith Ball cleaner. New pads and liners are cheap. There is a reason so many are for sale on Amazon..because it works, cheap, and fast.

If in a 2 man tournament, obviously it's up to you to tell them they can't do it.

If in a full field tournament, tell the TD.

How does everyone deal with opponents pattern racking against them? I've been trying to take the moral high ground but struggling to not spiral out on this topic.

Technically, it's unsportsmanlike conduct according to the written rules. In a private match, it's according to the rules you agree to.

Does it actually help your opponent?

Are you using a racking template?
