It’s rare we get a happy (enough) ending in pool.

I remember a year ago or so filler was tinkering with his stroke and had an off match and many of us questioned why he was changing his stroke. We know now that his game has reached another level, like Tiger Woods in his prime making big changes to his mechanics to get even better.

Looks like they are pricing these new balls at the top of the market ($399 US). The days of $99 Dynaspheres appear to be gone. https://billiardprozone.com/products/dynaspheres-%C2%AE-titan-572?srsltid=AfmBOorc7Id3UzI9i4GjoH3Ej7_X_B5_7qv2Oo4Gtug0x4_92LU3KEHQ

Didn’t he also have some sort of surgery (back surgery?) in Russia last year?

Anyone see a way to order? They aren’t for sale yet on the dynasphere web site https://dynaspheres.com/product/titan-572/

I’m glad people bet on pool as it’s always been a big part of the game. But it’s astounding to me that people would wager this type of money on these low level matches.

Unfortunately cheap and cue making equipment never go together. There are a variety of haphazard rigs (drill attachments, etc) that I’ve have see people use to change tips. And of course many do it without a lathe with just a razor blade. But I recommend starting with Chris’s book and his...

It replaces the golf tees (or pocket reducers) in drills that might require those things. So practicing hitting a cue ball (or shooting an object ball) through a 2.75in or 3in gap for instance.

Play in one (or go watch) if you have a chance, the vibe is really good and happy. Part of it (or maybe most of it) is the tournaments themselves are incredibly well run and managed from what I’ve seen. I hope they can continue to produce these tournaments. The league seems to be doing...

That place is all 7 footers last time I was there (a few months ago). I think this is the day before the Ultimate Pool KC Open starts, so I'm pretty confident they will playing on the same 7 foot tables used in that tournament.

I put them on my break cues. They hold chalk well, no different than the other ultraskins. I don’t think tip hardness impacts spin so I can’t help you there, but they are noticeably harder than a ultraskin M and slightly harder than a H.

We even have a competent local sports authority who helped land World Cup games this summer (we are the smallest city by far to host this year, but have many soccer fans).

And doubly so where the tables are $10 an hour in a bar filled with people there to drink. Few parents are going to drop their kids off after school at such a place. I’ve only seen a handful of the European rooms, and I’m sure some are stanky, but they seem by and large to be a place for...

It’s the time for the calcuttas at small time tournaments that really bothers me. I’m happy that a handful of people want to gamble on a handful of players, but they shouldn’t delay the tournament for the 90 percent of us who aren’t drawing big money and are just throwing in the standard $10...

Are they skipping 2026?
