Thank you all for the commentary, I haven’t been able to watch anything yet.

Kaci winning the internet for today

Tom’s sister runs the company now. Tips are as awesome as they always have been and there has been no negative chatter on the cue supply forums: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/buy-ultraskin-layered-cue-tips.542028/ Don’t buy garbage from the Walmart site, anyone can post fake crap...

That's an impressive site, the sort of thing Matchroom should be doing. Thanks!

This seems like a home owners association, where I get fined $500 because my flowers have 6 inch stems and not 5 inch. Or a WPA situation where someone was over their head, made a dumb decision in the moment, and has to save face above everything else. Or maybe both are the same thing.

I don’t fault MR for anything but it’s possible pool isn’t a sustainable market for a large pro tour. We seem to be going backwards with some of the events (crummier locations, or canceled entirely) and losing good players to heyball because even top 20 players cannot cover their expenses with...

I had high hopes that Matchroom would be able to bring in more sponsorship and viewers to pool, like it did with darts. From what I can tell that didn’t happen and a lot of the complaints we are seeing (and making) about their product might be due to it failing commercially. Hopefully I’m...

Mosconi himself advised taking a break every 20 or 30 minutes while practicing but that playing against stronger players was far more important. I think the 8-10 hours of day of "practice" we hear pros talk about involves hours of playing against other people too.

The ultimate pool people do an amazing job running these tournaments on time. Play in one if you have a chance, they are a lot of fun.

I missed that. Amazon sells these bearings in packs of 2 so I assumed he had one on both ends of his shaft.

Im late to this thread but i use those same block bearings for my low rpm finishing lathe, that spins slowly while epoxy hardens. It looks like your design is good enough, but if you wanted to improve runout you could use a belt and pulley to drive a mandrel that’s fixed in one of your...

I’d like to see filler v Fedor in 9 ball, one pocket, and banks one on one match (perhaps 14.1 too).

Pinging @dr_dave as he might appreciate the published physics behind your work.

Great work and thank you for open sourcing it. It’s the only public billiard physics software library I’m aware of.

Are you one of the developers? The physics on this seem really good from a few minutes of play.
