    Dynasphere becomes the official ball set for Matchroom WNT - Multi-year partnership

    The colors are awful but Dynaspheres are top quality balls. I have no idea about the cloth.

    Dumping - caught

    Sounds like a plot for a hollywood movie. :unsure:

    Dumping - caught

    I know I don't care in the slightest. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If I bet it's my own money and I'm the one playing. I'm probably a dick for thinking this way but I always get a chuckle when someone buys a player in a Calcutta and the player leaves early after the first loss. Why...

    It is tough to see someone else copy your product...

    Our pool hall is on it's 3rd owner in about 3 years. They advertise about everything on facebook. I have to rely on word of mouth or actually seeing a poster at the hall to know if any tournaments are coming up. For people with facebook it's not a big deal but I live about 3 miles away and I...

    Question for instructors: psychology bachelor’s thesis on neurocognitive aspects of pool performance

    I think the issue is with the diagrams themselves. If I buy a "brain teaser" book or something I'll play the mental gymnastics to rotate images in my mind. If I'm filling out a survey to do with pool not so much. I use 3D models daily in my work. Playing with vectors and rotating things on a...

    It is tough to see someone else copy your product...

    Well, that product is basically just a high tech set of golf tees. The drill/idea has been around forever. Sure, it's frustrating but it wasn't anything that hasn't been done by students of the game for decades. Don't get me wrong, it sucks for sure, but a lot of times similar ideas pop up all...

    Question for instructors: psychology bachelor’s thesis on neurocognitive aspects of pool performance

    The table views with rotation are just annoying. I skipped all after the first one. Something to consider is that I don't really care about this study as much as you do, and I'm not going to waste time with it, especially if I have to scroll around on a full sized computer screen. Not worth my...

    Crazy Butt Serious: Can you Adapt to a Warped Shaft?

    Any 2 points make a straight line. You're holding it at 2 points. Unless it's severe it will be OK. You can put a mark on the shaft and put the curve up or down depending on preference. It's not ideal but on the rare occasion I play off the wall I pick the best tip and couldn't care less about a...

    Sanding left a bunch of white sawdust embedded in cue. What do I do? What happened?

    Definitely wait til someone more experienced gives their thoughts. I think this white dust happens when you go too fine a grit of sandpaper. It gets super fine (like talc consistency) in the pores of the wood. I've read about it before and had similar on some purple heart I was messing with. I...

    Diamond

    Very true. I was talking slate only. I didn't think to say this but I was assuming the body was already leveled... one should not assume such things. :)

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I would not find that 2 ball acceptable. Of course if it were on the listing pictures, that's not the seller's fault.

    Going to try CF, any suggestions?

    I respect your opinion but it's not my own. I own a Rhino and once the junk stock tip is changed, it's a great shaft. Fit and finish are fine. There's nothing wrong with them, they look good and play good.

    Seeing the contact point on the object ball.

    I know certain shots til the point I don't have to think about them. It might take a player 100+ intentional shots to learn how 2 rail shape works, where it breaks down, etc., but once you understand that you can just let your subconscious extrapolate. Just look at the shot, it looks good or it...
