Yes.

Agreed. Efren was getting into Earl's head.

Speaking of "a full match" AND Shane Van Boening, most impressive match to me was Shane and Josh Roberts 8-ball match where in 15 games, neither player missed one single ball. Won by Shane 9-6 because Josh scratched on one of his breaks (alternating break format). Yes, yes. I know, I know. It...

Those are good racks. I like them as much as my Delta-13 elite. I too would get that rack for my home table if I didn't already have the Delta.

I don't find them to be annoyingly loud either. But then, I'm not one of those types that feels the need to get all the ball inside the rack in a second and a half. You know the ones I'm talking about. They're the ones that rack as if they're incredibly angry about something. I also find it...

It certainly appears so to my eyes.

Who is ahead???

My mistake...my bad! I remember now it was Lechner I saw with the goatee. Fortunski would probably look good with one too though! An NO...no man crushes here!!! 😒

I saw him on one stream where he had a goatee. It looked good on him. I'm glad he finally snapped a decent tournament off. He was due.

Also, it is possible that the tolerances on the ball "cups" of the trays may not be consistent, making it appear there is that much difference in ball height. Measuring ball size while sitting in a plastic tray is not very scientific and quite possibly inaccurate.

Agreed. I am also a SL6. The way I get down on a shot is so ingrained into my muscle memory/pre-shot routine that I never even think about it. Don't overthink it. You'll end up with "analysis paralysis". Maybe watch this:

My favorite paragraph of 2025 thus far! ^^^ FTR, I've gambled one time in my life (in pool). I saw a post from a fellow AZB'er that was going to be in the Arlington (TX) area and wanted to know if someone wanted to meet up and play some cheap sets. I told him I wasn't a gambler, but that it...

I don't perform much research/testing on table pockets other than occasionally setting two balls between the points. Regardless, in my experiences with Valley tables, they are the easiest tables I have ever played on as far as pocketing balls is concerned.

I'm still looking. Not any luck on here (or Ebay). I don't even know who in the dallas/Ft. Worth area does cue work any more.

Yep. But...why shouldn't they be? At least the newbies could start out with a CF, low deflection shaft. Back in the day, Players, Action, and Viper cues were the starter cues. IMHO, at least these cues are a step up from those. Have you seen today's prices on the Players/Action cues? It's...
