Do the stretch marks disappear on their own?
US Open (9 ball) 2024, August 19-24, Atlantic City

I only know because I've done my own a bit sloppily (not as bad as this table though). When you start with the side pocket area like RKC instructs, you have to be very uniform in your stretching, which you guys probably were on your table. When you pull the whole side fairly uniform and then do the side pocket area second, I think there's more wiggle room for avoiding the stretch marks. The trouble is -- the pocket work doesn't look as good when finished which is why RKC does the pocket area first.
I don't recall seeing as many stretch shadows as we do now that the side pocket first method has been adopted.
Now back to Nine Ball.
Diamond does do it the same way as Cobra, and they’ve done more simonis cloth installs than any other mechanics, combined.
Sure thing. May just have a few new guys doing tables and not quite following the procedure. Can't think of any other possibility if this table came straight from Diamond.
You can find a lot of info about "stretch shadows" in the "Talk to a Mechanic" forum.
No siree Jewett. Stuck with them unless you try to restretch the cloth.
Kind of annoying not being able to see the brackets without an account.

Shane gets to play his best friend Duong Quoc Hoang in the round of 32.
Didn't say he's playing bad, but ever since he switched he has not been the dominate figure he was in years past.
He said he switched "for a new challenge because the game was too easy" - AKA my sponsor made me change.
That guy is a killer. First time I saw him I thought that’s what it must have been like during the Vietnam war. He just didn’t give up until he won.
Yeah this is true!
Didn't they used to have a cream the gals used? Oh,never mind.
Fedor down 0-3 to Pecelj. Think he's tired?
Normally the viewing the first few days is always crummy given the odd matchups. I have had trouble watching after last weeks Gorst SVB match.
The
concept of qualifying is good IMO. The execution of the concept needs work. I watched an interview of Emily by Molina Mike earlier. She knows there are issues.
That being a WPA deal it doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't give them the time of day personally.
Down 3-4 now.
53 minutes later and they've played a total of 4 games since your update.

And I keep hearing how necessary a shot clock would be for an SVB vs. Kaci matchup. Fedor is definitely one of the slowest and most methodical players there is.
Like the lady I played in APA on Tuesday . . .
