All this talk of rules, I'm still a bit confused how so many people and refs still don't understand double hit fouls, no one called this out, the ref, commentators, only 1 person on chat even mentioned it, and its clearly a double hit foul by Oscar (starts at 55:15) When the replay shows the...

I'm saying I have direct experience with this yes. Diamond cuts their pocket angles differently for 4 vs 4.5. I'm not talking about a 4.5 pocket shimmed down to 4, I'm taking about pockets that come from the factory at 4 or 4.5. Balls that 4.5 will reject will sometimes be accepted by 4s on down...

disagree 100%. In my area 4.5 is the standard as most pool halls have either 7 or 9ft diamonds (or both) with 4.5 procut. Playing on the few GCs and clones in the area with 5" pockets feels like buckets. My home table is 4" (with the subrails extended to fix the pocket angles), and while tight...

I know this thread is a bit oldish, but why not a laser? I've always just used a laser level and straight edge to draw, as the laser actually shows on the cloth surface itself (no trying to align from a string above the surface).

Anyone know what matchroom is using to mark their tables? Heard it's temporary to avoid issues with stretch/relax inaccuracies.

Bit late, but being that they only this year became available for sale on US pool supply sites and not random dudes on Fb, I've been using the Soft for a few months now. When I switched to carbon I had a hard time finding a tip I liked. One point first, I certainly prefer softer tips. My fav tip...

Anyone seen any good pool t-shirts. I'm not talking about your standard Hustler or NineBall shirts, or the overtly aggressive shirts you can find from big custom t-shirt sites out there. I did find this guy [https://www.mtheorysports.com/products], and have the "FindYourGame" shirt. Just looking...

Do they also make Kamui gloves? Those have been impossible to find as well (in a left hand large/xl). I tried both Cuetec and Viking gloves, but I'm not sure what they think "large" means as I'm only 6' with avg size hands, and those are so tight I can't wear them more than a few mins. Predator...

Doubt it's the same issue, but I just put new 860 on the other day and also started to notice black smudges. Turns out it was the leather (or whatever it is) material on the palm of the predator glove rubbing off if I slid my hand slightly. Never saw this on my previous cloth, which was also...

Thanks, kind of thought it might be from the polish, but I've only polished the balls once, guess I didn't do a great job cleaning them up, it's a personal table and no smoking. Have a new set of am tournament balls coming when the new felt is put on, as my teens got into playing this game like...

Pretty obvious by the pockets, and also on the rails where the balls make contact, balls are a set of 15yr old aramith pros. 860 felt is maybe 2yrs old at this point. Getting ready to recover the table and would like to not have this happen again if possible.
