The absolutely most important thing is to have a tight rack. It can be a terrible chore to do correctly depending on conditions. Most people cannot rack as well as they think they are. In league conditions or with opponent rack it can be almost impossible. Most of the time you will see a gap...

I'm kind of in the same boat. For certain situations I think it would be the bees knees. Yes it saves you from re-racking. But the break is SO much more than squatting the CB. This isn't knocking the device. Again, good for practicing certain aspects. I'm not a great player but I'm...

I'm not even a short stop and I know where it's going. If I'm paying attention I'll change where I break from depending on what balls are where. There are only 7 balls you have to think about and barring kisses it's not hard to figure out where they go and how to hit. We always used to put the...

Well generally if someone gives advice on a product and it's not available in your country you should do a little legwork. I'm not here to spoon feed you. I gave my opinion on the subject at hand. Don't be lazy, figure out a way to make it work. I mean, I've made my own milk duds with a press I...

Google.

A sharp blade is important for installing any tips, but it's even more important on the Outsville. A dull blade will ruin one. The good thing is blades are cheap. I've tried both, made some of my own. Both are good. In all honesty @pooldawg8 makes some awesome duds. His are every bit as good or...

One of my guilty pleasures is when people whine about me getting lucky or slopping the 9 in. Really they just don't see or recognize caroms/billiards and such, I ain't gonna be the one to tell em! 😅

I generally do it just to try out something different. A good milkdud can last for years. They are basically already at the sweet spot at full height. It used to be a tip really started getting good when it was about half original height or even the thickness of a nickel. The only tip I've cut...

I agree, but serious question, have you ever played 10B with 10B being able to be made early? You still had to call it. It was pretty fun and added some excitement. When I started playing the rules people played were it was exactly like 9B but with an extra ball. It was pretty fun really. It...

One thing that has helped my game lately, after a brief warm up I only practice until I can't give 100% attention/focus to the shot. When I get unfocused I'll try to force it a few times but then I just go do something else. I think it has helped my focus. Shooting balls without trying to do it...

I have the exact experience, great lights but mine was before the dimming option was available, so it's lit up like a surgery table or an autopsy table.

I don't know anything to ask Pat, but I'm really looking forward to the podcast.

Showoff. ;) Damn that's some fine looking work! :)

Good call, that makes sense. USA generally doesn't have a good outlook on all things "royal" whereas European markets probably have some sentimentality or think "royal" as a way to explain quality/the best. Kind of like how different products are "By appointment of Her Majesty." It designates a...
