    Postive Covid19 Test at CSI / BCAPL event

    IMHO it makes sense to make a request especially for folks like myself who intentionally stayed away from Vegas; I was willing to forfeit Diamond Open & the 3 CSI Open fees out of concern of covid-19 community spread. I did make a credit request as I hope this alleviates the immediate burden for...

    Coronavirus and BCA Pool League World Championships

    I have some commentary at the FB post linked, but also made a back up PDF of the CSI covid-19 blog post w/ all the user comments / community outrage preserved. In short I decided to not attend the CSI / BCA events in Vegas after a March 6th phone call with a CSI representative which led to...

    Acoustic wall drapes/16x20 room

    I have a 23x23' room that originally and still is a 32 speaker multichannel dome / R&D spot for spatial audio; got a 9' table in the middle though.

    Ear plugs for concentrating

    At the end of last year I finally got custom molded sleep plugs from an audiologist and they are fantastic. They match skin color and you can't see them unless a photo is taken on the side of your head, so most folks don't realize you're wearing them. I haven't had a problem communicating with...

    12.4 Revo vs 12.5 cynergy

    Thanks, at least one more! I happened to run into sjm in NYC last month and introduced myself and mentioned I liked his event review posts (another great Derby one the other day). He asked my nick, but I mentioned I never post; he said that I should and might as well get started, so here we...

    12.4 Revo vs 12.5 cynergy

    I suppose I should finally make my first post after all these years.. ;P A couple of days ago I gathered some data on the taper of the Cynergy vs Revo 12.4 as I have both. See at bottom. I have had the Revo since October and put in a lot of practice time since then and got the Cynergy early...
