Fat Cats in Eustis (NW of Orlando) will be re-opening soon with four 9’. The two they had before they shut down before the move played really tough. I loved playing BCA 14.1 on them and I can’t wait for them to re-open. Target keeps moving but right now it’s mid-April.

Ran out three times so far ….. very nice!!! You have hosed up 3-4 chances to run out…mostly because of speed. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but in your legacy threads where you complained about the table not offering “runnable” layouts, were you describing not runnable *by you* or...

I don’t recall you asking me my FR; if you did I missed it. Officially I am 431 with a robustness 197. But….it’s been 16 months since I last played anything that reported to Fargo. The hall in which I played BCA closed for a move and its reopening has been delayed and delayed, now delayed until...

Of course a 75x will crush a 55x. If I understand FR, a 200 point discrepancy means the higher skilled player will win 4:1 ratio. 7-5 is a joke. Would I play in that tournament? Yes, if the entry is $20 and I can play a few matches and racks for $20. If the entry is $150, hell no; I have...

That’s awesome! Yeah, pretty close. Thanks much for your time to look this up! I assume that with the many models, it’s likely that there may be slight variations over time for a particular model and individual cues may not exactly match the catalog. Is that right? Is it also possible that...

Thanks for the info! I definitely feel as though I need to give my friend some more $ for it! I mean, $50 for that cue… It looks as nice in person as it does in the photos. I’m going to use it as my player for league. I really like it. It’s compatible with my Adam cues so all shafts including...

I’ve searched the ‘net but could not find any info. Anyone know anything about this Orchid? Here’s what I know: The butt weighs 14.6oz. Shaft 4.4, total 19. 6-point. 5/16x18 joint. Questions: What model is it? Are these inlays or decals? Where was it made? I bought it from a good pool...

V10 Clean - very, very clean. Masters required much more table maintenance and hand washing. $20-25 I had one I thought I lost so I bought another. I found the original a week later. The original is at 25 months and it’s less than half used up (Home). The replacement piece (pool hall...

When I shot those vids, in spite of how they may be numbered, the head-on view was the first shot I took, and I shot these cold. I had not been shooting beforehand. It’s possible I naturally corrected in the other vids as I shot 2 thru 4. Not an excuse, just a possible explanation. But yes, I...

Here's a funny prank. Listen to the guy at the end.....LOL https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mrpreventive_a-mechanic-pranks-his-colleague-while-starting-activity-7056359998930501632-eNIE?utm_source=li_share&utm_content=feedcontent&utm_medium=g_dt_web&utm_campaign=copy

Warning: Politically Incorrect content follows! (Will this get me banned?) Reminds me of the joke. Native American boy asks his Dad "Why is my sister named Red Bird? And why is my brother named Running River?" "Our tribe names our children after sights or events that occurred during their...

I have tried CB last many times. I’m much better off OB last. There are a few circumstances, though, I will use CB last, like jacked up over a ball; CB frozen on a rail; or almost always when using the rake.

I do this often. I like putting Cb on the foot spot, aiming at the head spot (I have a donut on the head spot), then stepping in. With this aiming, the cue should be easily and repeatedly directly centered over the short rail diamond. I have been able to achieve this very consistently. Then...

I’d rather people look up parallax themselves. Too complicated for me to attempt to describe it here. What I did notice is that if I lined up center ball (center vertical and center horizontal), then move the cue tip to the bottom of the CB the tip was actually slightly right of where the CB...

Mostly. It was a combination of twisting my wrist which pulled my hand left toward my torso, tip goes right; and parallax where it looked like I was center ball but wasn’t. Former caused many misses. I have fixed the stroke portion. Still occasionally hit the CB slightly right of center...
