Wow, it certainly is a long time in the making, I had no idea.

i replaced my Monarch Superspeeds on my GCI with Artemis, had the subrails done too, if I didnt tighten up the pockets I would have kept the Monarchs on it, they were still good. If I were doing my table right now I think I would put Superspeeds on it, I don't believe there is any advantage to...

Or you could play the regular ghost where you take BIH after the break. I know its not the same as "real" 9 ball but you also don't get all the breaks and your opponent doesn't run every rack that you don't in "real" 9 ball.

Only 3 of the 8 relate to the table, the rest have to do with the balls.

Its the same way up here. I would say thats the norm, not the exception.

I am the same way, my shaft is at least as nice as the day it was new about 12 years ago. When I try someone elses cue I always wonder how they can shoot with it because it feels like a rough sawn 2" x 4" by comparison. One thing that really gets under my skin is blue ferrules. Cmon people...

Do these videos play well for anyone? They seem to play on about a 5 second loop no matter where I start. Appears to be my browser, when I switch to MS it plays just fine.

Get well soon, Doc.

Another great video, Doc. Are you feeling under the weather, your voice sounds different, maybe time to visit the Doc???😁😁 (see what I did there?)

The only possible answer is that you have a defective pool table. I wonder by chance, do you also have a difficult time getting good breaks on this table? That would be another sign of a defective pool table. It would be extremely difficult to diagnose this because there has never been a...

You can use a simple piece of paper for break cloth or jumping practice. I used paper all the time when my cloth was new but ended up with marks in all other locations so I gave up.

Its not just hitting the break hard but even more important is controlling the cue ball. I know where my cue ball will be when I break and it aint gonna be a scratch or stuck to the head rail. There are a lot of players out there who are not very good at controlling the cue ball on the break...

But before all of that happens you must first have a consistent break shot.

To think that you could have got all of that same break practice in way less than 1/2 the time, Im guessing even less than 1/4 of the time. Even though I have used mine a lot already I still bring it out and practice for 15-20 minutes once a month or so, it keeps me sharp.

How would that even be similar? That has got to be the worst analogy I have heard so far in 2025. I hope you are aware that the Break Rak has no autonomous qualities, it is simply a facsimile to a full rack of balls.
