Thank you, and you're welcome. I aim to swerve. 🤓

One shot I neglected to include was SVB's jump-two-rail-bank-combo against Alex: Can you guys think of any other famous or impressive shots that should have been included in my pro bank shot compilation (9-ball, 10-ball, or 8-ball)?

Thank you for posting this. That would have been good to include (even though it wasn't 9-ball, 10-ball, or 8-ball). I've added it to Filler's list here: great pool shots video collection

For those interested in how the TDF factor weights were chosen, see the "How were the values and ranges chosen for each of the TDF factors?" section here: Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) System

Thank you for your opinions, but I obviously disagree. I hope others will also share their experiences. The difficulty level of different tables obviously depends on the player and the game being played, but big pockets certainly make life easier for most people. Although, if you play good...

And the results seem mostly consistent with experience. That has certainly been the case for all tables I have evaluated.

Here's the latest: Calculate your Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) to determine how tough it plays relative to other tables. Only three pocket measurements are required, and you can use the TDF calculator or TDF spreadsheet to get your results. username - table size, pocket mouth size...
