I'm not colorblind but also struggle in some lighting conditions, to tell if my tip is coated well with V10. I'm a convert. The 2 pieces I have are still going strong after 13 months and only one piece is getting short.

RIP NS. Enjoyed many of his posts/contributions. Thanks OP for sharing.

I've done this before but did a CYA and declared I was switching shafts prior to taking the new one out of the case or unscrewing my player.

Very wise, sir. Glad you are giving your kids the best chance at success. Savannah is more socialized than most on this forum. Perhaps she could spend more time with other kids but you can bet her education is better than if she was attending public schools.

On a big table, yes. On a bar box, no.

I heard the children in Thailand work for cheaper wages than the children in China. However, they may not get the government subsidies Chinese companies get. China can usually sell at the price domestic manufacturers spend on the material alone. Small US companies cannot compete unless there are...

Pretty sure I designed one in CAD a while ago. I'll have to dig it up. I'm taking delivery of a cnc mill today in fact. The only product I planned to make for pool was a rack but I guess I could expand the line if I get bored.

Pretty much the same here. Slightly higher fr but my B&R on diamond bar box 9ball is about 15% due to an inconsistent break. On my 9' Diamond, it's about 20%. That is the only place it's 20% however. It's my happy place where I'm most comfortable. It's more like 10% on the 9' away from home...

I don't like 100 attention whores saying Hi from (insert wgaf location here), just to get their names verbalized on the stream. I understand when he's streaming from Hard Times, because that's a large group of players and fans from the area who most likely know each other. That stuff looks much...

If nothing else, it may bring Hatch and Morris back into contention. We may even see Pacquiao and Rogan make their professional pool debut. ETA I didn't see your hill-hill prerequisite.

I currently prefer White Diamond but you may also want to check the other recent threads exactly like this one.

If you tilt the rack and break into the thin side you are less likely to scratch. If you break to the fat side you are more likely to scratch. I do not know if or to what degree a tilt will affect the spread.

I appreciate what Collins is doing. Having said that, I wish it was more about pool than it is. Over half the "commentary" is BSing with the chat -which is annoying. Between everyone wanting to be acknowledged in the chat, and having a camera only to stream himself sitting in the booth, it seems...

I bought a new Diamond Pro-Am 9 footer in Nov. of 2022. It banks exactly like my previous gold crowns. It does not bank short at all.

Single elimination start to finish. The losers can gamble all comers or each other until the event is complete. No long delays waiting for the back draw to catch up, every match is for your tournament life, etc. Much better format imo.
