How do you like to play short rail first shots, i.e. short, long, short, coming in under the ball after the third rail. Jaspers is a master of this. Do you like to keep the English close to straight top and modify your cut angle / ball fraction on the second ball? Or do you like to keep your...

But is it now still a Byrne table? Or is it now a Byrne-Alciatore hybrid?

No, not surprised. Smalling facing angles seem to always make a big difference.

The idea is that a yellow stripe has higher contrast against a black than it does against white. On low res video the cue ball, 1 ball, and 9 ball look similar. The background colors don’t affect game play, it just breaks tradition. However changing primary colors wasn’t as intelligent...

Stay away from UPS. The CEO gutted the business. She’s a number cruncher. FedEX or DHL are my recommendations.

The opening lag is supposed to be difficult enough that there is a clear winner by inspection. We don’t want to start creating arguments on who won a lag by a millimeter. When that happens the players lag one more time and there is never a second tie. A skill shot executed perfectly by two...

His online presence is annoying but he shouldn’t be banned. Also people’s personalities in real life don’t necessarily match online, so he may be a lot less grumpy in reality. You never know until you actually meet them.

I have three or four good ideas left that would make sellable products, but the problem is right now not only am I with a four month old, but I am burned out from the DigiBall project. It was like as soon as I was completed with the final design, by brain turned off. I don't even want to turn a...

My god, lol. And all of this as an application to billiards? This sounds like a startup company.

This is extremely difficult to do. You will need to make many functional prototypes and it will take a lot of time.

The yellow shading and glassy layer are a good indication of vitrification, which is extremely hard material.

Yes to this. It is what I do. One dab per chalk stuck spot and wipe clean.

Stay in the back of the bus.

To the OP, the only idea that I find has any further thought would be the facial recognition system for scoring/*something* pending that permissions are given in advance. Be forewarned that many pool players that don't understand the technology will feel privacy violations.

The BreakDemon does this already: https://breakdemon.com/ Also the DigiBall can do this with a firmware adjustment.
