Tee time works fine as well as "Green flag waves at 7", signifying the time the race will start. It's not like the reader isn't going to understand what you wrote. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be tuning in fosho.

I was called once two years ago and you had to make a ball after the break. I had to rifle the CB to shorten a cross bank in the side and hope I didn't scratch to get paid. I made the bank but was left with no shot and took home $4xx. Not too bad.

I'm not a fan of the per-ball amount being the same throughout. The risk of taking the next shot should come with a bigger reward imo. It's lame to see someone make a ball on the break and perhaps another ball then quitting before taking on that next cut shot because they have more to lose than...

Agree 100%. The fact that the incoming players are all too happy to take the free game is disappointing. If the ref called a foul on my opponent for grabbing balls out of a pocket after the last shot I would take the BIH and shoot the cue ball directly into a pocket.

This vid has been on my YT home page for a few days but I have not had time to watch. Is it worth the time?

I know nothing about the brand other than people here think they are trash. The shelf looks pretty deep in this pic though. I'm just browsing. Currently own a 9' ProAm...

I play better out of the gate than after a few racks. I focus more and the balls just go in. I then begin taking shots for granted, not staying down, or playing riskier shots for the aesthetics. I have been meaning to mount a camera in my room. I'll get to it one day.

Weekly tourneys around here are still $20 plus an auction. Starting to have a couple higher ones per month ($30-$50). A local guy is opening a new room in a couple months who added a lot of money to all of his tourneys when he had his last room. We're all looking forward to that one.

I used to use Shark Oil. Worked great.

No access to pro spec but I can run that as pictured probably 80% on my ProAm with standard pockets. (provided I'm hitting balls a couple times per week) If you put the balls against the rails where they belong it's more like 60% I imagine. Those shots are all in the 60 minute workout and the...

Doesn't have to be. If I ship one of my racks out west it's $30+. If I use Pirateship it's $8. Retailers charging high shipping like this are taking that extra $ and lying about the actual price. It's like the guys who used to sell items on ebay for $2 and charged $30 shipping on all orders.

When I bought the original 20 years ago it came in a plastic rifle case.

We recently began making chalk holders as well but the shape is different due to an additional feature. Ours have a hole in the middle to press out the chalk and come with spacers to raise the chalk as it wears. I have purchased holders in the past that came with two sizes for different height...

Where are they manufactured?

I had a $10 mini spotlight mounted to the ceiling in my room in AZ. I used clear rings for ball positions and the spotlight for the landing area. Setting up the positions for Bert's shots took less than an hour and I was all set. Moving from drill to drill after that took only seconds to place...
