    Sardo M-5000 Tight Rack Instruction Manual

    If a ball stops near a racking divot, it might wobble into the divot, maybe an eighth of an inch. Few players have the level of speed control to say that a divot caused their perfect shot to go wrong by an eighth of an inch. If a ball is rolling fast enough to reach a pocket, the divot is not...

    Never seen this before - asking the for a ref for video review

    Softbreak ?

    You must have missed the tournaments in the early 2000s when all the pros were breaking soft and making the wing ball every time. Bustamante was breaking about 10mph ... I think I saw that in the world championship.

    1990 US Open Sigel & Varner - 5 Inch Pockets

    The problem was that on the tour tournament tables 760 was brand new and fast and slippery. Also, that was when the tables were three-piece and rarely completely level.
