The bottom photo I believe is correct but I dont think its even possible to make the contact points touch in the top photo. When 2 balls collide they will always be on equal parts of each ball. If you were to move the yellow ball further from the pocket in the first photo to where it is almost a...

Wow!!!! What exactly did he not understand about the ball being 2 1/4" each in diameter?? He is using the absolute worst measuring tool possible to measure that point to point opening. One has to check every tape measure to see if the tab is accurate.

I too like the UPUSA events although I much preferred the races to 6 or 7 instead of just playing the 30 minutes and seeing who has the most wins. I think the race to a certain number adds an extra level of entertainment because there are 2 ways a match can be decided, by time or by the race format.

Im sorry, I thought that this was your quote "I would never use a helicoil type insert if I could use a solid insert." I merely said Heli-Coils are used beyond frequently without fail.

"6.5 foot (88”), 7 foot (93"), 8 foot (101")" Where do you suppose they are measuring these tables?? If its cushion nose to cushion nose which is the correct way to measure playing area that 8" Valley at 101" is bigger than a 9' Gold Crown.

7' Valley is 38" x 76", Diamond 7' is 40" x 80"

Thousands of aluminum cylinder heads have Heli-coils in exhaust holes, intake holes, rocker arm stud holes with valves springs in excess of 1,000lbs open seat pressure all without fail, in fact I have had brand new heads that I have had heli-coils installed in all of the holes to get rid of the...

I find that odd because I play most 8 ball on barboxes even though I have a 9' Gold Crown at home. Unfortunately there just are not that many facilities that have 9' tables around here, because of the rarity even when you find a place that has them tournaments are still held on 7' tables. Its...

IMO its still tough to top and Anniversary.

I believe it was when you said how easy it was because it was on a barbox, it makes us curious why you are not there stealing the cash since you are a runout player on barboxes. Its a valid question.

That is absolutely a legal play in UPL, nothing illegal about it. You just cant hit your opponents ball first to pocket it, I think its loss of rack.

Why is that? SVB, Bergmann, and Styer have all been Mosconi Cup players, I don't think that will hold you back.

That table has diamonds on the rail, I thought Snooker tables did not come with diamonds

Since you are a run out 8 ball player on a barbox you should give it a try.

I would orient the tip so its at its lowest point if I was going to use draw.
