    Creating Pool Room Unknowns

    Yes, because of the floor. When the table is leveled, one end is higher than the other unless you build up the floor at an angle to cancel out the slant. I have my table in a dedicated room on the first floor now so it is not a problem. I think I'm selling the table soon anyway.

    Creating Pool Room Unknowns

    I don't particularly like one end of the table being 1" higher in relation to my body than the other. It changes a lot imo.

    Creating Pool Room Unknowns

    Is the floor level? That's the biggest problem with garage pool rooms. Temperature and humidity control being the second biggest.

    Relaxed vs raised shoulder?

    I obsessed over stuff like this for a long time. Then I watched Soufi run out from all over the table and realized the mechanics do not need to be anywhere near perfect to play professional pool. I then watched an online discussion between pool coaches and one of them mentioned that all your...

    Careful Criticizing CSI Org

    Oz has always been a POS. Pool organizations would better serve their members by having nothing to do with him.

    Classic Cue Market Dying Off

    For me, the nice hand-made cues have become a liability and therefore collector items only. I don't own any expensive cues (over $2k), but my custom Hearns cues stay in the closet. I had one knocked over and damaged at a pool hall days after I had it refinished and vowed never to take that risk...

    I've Left the BreakRAK Company as Operations Manager, machinist, assembler, sales & shipping Clerk

    I paid a lot more than that for my design patent. Lame.

    I've Left the BreakRAK Company as Operations Manager, machinist, assembler, sales & shipping Clerk

    Hard to say. I worked with a guy who's father founded a known tool company. The other son found a way to steal the company out from under his father and cut the entire family out somehow. I don't know the details but swore off the brand ever since learning about it. Most every mechanic and...

    SVB vs Josh Filler announced for Feb 6th at NYC's Amsterdam Billiards

    I put Filler and KPC as the best rotation players on the planet. The other games have many in the running IMO.

    Hayden Ernst 14 Years of age...Straight shooter

    True but he could also be the next Corey. Few wanted to gamble that kid when he hit the scene. Like you said, we won't know how the story ends until it does. No other young player in the states is currently showing as much promise. I hope he keeps it together and becomes the next Captain America.

    Hayden Ernst 14 Years of age...Straight shooter

    The young man has terrific rhythm, tempo, and composure. His future looks very promising.

    is this real?

    The guy who ran the tennis league in Tucson has the unfortunate name of Dick Weiner. His parents, having already cursed him with a sh!t last name, decided to further screw him over with his first name as well. W. T. F.

    Derby City Classic status question - what is FF?

    Forfeit, but being a wheeler makes me see "full float" when I see FF.

    Shane Wolford VS Anthony Meglino (Action) $216K

    He seems to have the temperament to handle playing Henny. I'd like to see that one. Hen looked pretty sharp against Justin yesterday.
