DigiBall Progress on new website

muskyed
After watching a preview of it with Nick and Rachel I was hooked and am interested. I think this would be a great addition to youtube matches. Yes I understand there is so much more to it, but I would love to see it on youtube matches. Also if I read right, there is a timer function with audio? If so, every match without a ref could possibly be on the clock.

I've seen Fedor give up spots. This op didn't appear that way.
Looks like he's playing a local 600fr. He's streaming it so I guess we'll see.

Looks like more of a meet and greet situation.
I thought asking for action and practice for DCC seemed disingenuous if it wasn't making an actual gamble of it. I could be wrong.

Last I played Efren was when he won the dcc one-pocket. It wasn't 10/7 but it wasn't 12/3 either. I won a few games, he won more. Seemed to genuinely enjoy himself, I did too.

What FargoRate is the 9 ball ghost? Data included.

I think I’ll change my mind on this. If I was playing someone 30 points above me, and we could magically lift up the balls and put on new cloth on my inning, and year old on his, I think he’d still beat the snot out of me.

I’d guesstimate new cloth is worth 10 FargoRate points.

The only time I’ve ever seen anything remotely close was an action match between Jeanette Lee and one of the Dominicans at the expo around 2005. They played an ahead set for 30 large (per man). Her husband George had all the post cash in a shoebox. The game was on her break she broke 9 ball. On his break he broke 10 ball. This was on a 9’ Diamond in the basement. They started at midnight. Ended about 9am. The Dominican won.

The best part is she made up her face and an hour later was signing autographs on the main floor for all the squares.

I think the impact of new cloth is greater the harder the table. On a WNT tuned table once the cloth is old so many balls that “should” drop just don’t. I’ve seen 700+ players hang balls. So I would guess it’s multiple games in a race to 10 where it’s the difference between a win or a loss vs the ghost.

But on say a Valley Bar box, the pockets are already so generous I’m not sure it makes a big difference for a good player.

Give me an example, of where and when...

When pros are playing in big action, people are pretty respectful. What group of guys are you referring to?

Sharking is an everywhere thing, not just specific to NY lol.

If you're talking about bar bangers playing for $50 then I could see your point.

Bar banges shark as well as they play pool. Whole different world when the bet gets big.
Noise, motion, changing of terms, time games, threat of bodily harm, messing with people the player came with while the game is happening...and anything else these types can develop at the scene.

My wife plays with a Viking that has the QR joint with a black collar. I don't remember the model now, but it was about $450-500 back in 2013ish time frame. Has a Whyte Raw 12.75mm shaft and currently has a SIB Cool Blue medium tip on it.
I sometimes hit balls with it, and I think it plays really nice. Has a solid, quality hit with good feedback and no funny sounds.
She's still relatively new to pool and often after a league match or in a tournament some of the better players will show her a few things she can work on or demonstrate a shot using her cue and quite a few have commented that they really like how it plays.

I agree, no funny sounds or vibration, the insert seems to stay tight and it stays tight on the cue. Mines an 11.8mm
