Don't you basically have forever ?!? The tournament can transpire over several days !! Any number that floats your boat.

1) for exactly the same reason a CB with inside english speeds up (= gains energy). 2) probably, there is a gearing side spin amount so that the edge of CB is moving at exactly the speed of the cloth on the rail as it hits.

No wonder I hate the Olympics ....

We all understand about the gearing effect when one ball makes contact with another ball at grazing incidence. The same effect happens when a ball hits a rail. Running English is simply the gearing effect applied to rails. If the ball has outside english when it hits a rail, it looses...

I have used letherique on my Olhausen pocket leather. {And every other leather product I have had over 35 years.}

Leatherique {conditioner and cleaner}

I bought an Olhausen about 10 years ago. Once debugged, it has been a fine table. The original installer did not seat the slates on the frame properly (hold down screws), and somehow the slates squeezed beeswax out of the joint, which caused problems. In addition the bolts from the slates to...

Use the 30 second rule on them.

Threads to not work by having "friction" ! Threads work by creating tension--and the thing that tension is applied to is the thing that has the Friction ! Cue assembly Friction is between the face of the butt and face of the shaft. Also, Threads do not create concentricity ! Concentricity is...

It "might" get down to freezing, here in Austin, sometime in mid-late February.

A top player could make a decent living {both Tourneys and gambling} Likely (60%-80%) more fun to watch because the top players were not mechanical machines.

One does not turn using a milling tool, one uses a turning tool (fixed single point) One does not face using a milling tool, one using a facing tool (fixed single point) The object being turned spins, the tool does not. Did anyone notice the runout of the shaft in the lathe prior to work ?!? Did...

Why would a Billionaire want you to make a random decisions for yourself when he can maneuver you into making a decision which benefits himself (amongst all the choices)???

If/when you watch Dr Dave's high frame rate videos of cue-tip to cue-ball contact, you will see that the cue tip moves around like jelly. An oversized piece of jelly (mushroom) at the end of the shaft cannot increase the friction between Cue-tip and CB.

This. Once someone demonstrates that they can use and not abuse a cue, their selection gets moved up.
