Thank you. So people are not changing the angle simply because manufacturers chose a specific angle? Has anyone thought of creating a tool or investigating the effects? From searching your search term, people are aware that the angle matters, but the discussion ends there, since they are mostly...

Watches the game, gives some notes how I skip parts of the rack, gives a suggestion that is not in the spirit of "just play snooker". But no, I'm just someone who doesn't care. 👍 We've got killer viewership here boys. And anyone that isn't okay with the status quo is seen as someone attacking...

Cheating as in cheating the pocket sir. Someone has a controversial opinion and all of a sudden everything they say is conveniently misconstrued. The margin of error arc of that particular shot is much bigger compared to a ball that's in the middle of the table (i.e. further from a rail)...

No wonder everyone's lining up to be a part of this community! /s And there has been no consideration to change the angle, not even for pro play? As an example: https://youtu.be/TGDXRzkHFZ4?t=2822 As much as I'd enjoy playing this shot in my own games, I don't think I particularly like...

Never said it was my opinion. Feel free to use this thread as your mood journal.

After reading a lot of youtube comments about how "boring" it is watching the pros, has there been any consideration to changing the shape of pool table pockets? The reason it's "boring" is not because of winner break or alternate break, or because of racking and who racks, but (I think)...

I once had a friend say in passing, "you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p". Sure, he may be right if the source video quality was lower than 1080p, or if it was a 1080p video that captured 720p definition. Or if you look at both at an extremely large distance, you wouldn't be...

Yep, I was going to counter example with Earl. I think you have new found consistency simply due to the fact that you removed your rear knee joint out of your equation. There is no secret method to a stance, as long as you can keep your cue and shooting arm swinging on the aim line. If you were...

I will be returning the case, upon finding out this case in fact has nothing between the cues and shaft. Kind of alarming, now that I think about it. Found a J&J 3x5 case that might just work out for me.

From what I observe, this seems to be designed only for the regular size shaft. There is certainly enough room to fit any length shaft, as the vertical height is there. But in terms of tip not touching the bottom, the support is barely there for the regular sized shaft. If padding is a concern...

I currently own one, after losing my QKS Artillery and my cue. If you want all around protection from any accidents, the front is obviously not hard protected. Also, because it saves so much material on padding with its compact design, I find it's a little annoying when you want to access the...

Won't eventual natural follow after initial contact develop some swerve?

Good point about conditions. I can imagine dirty and roughed up balls affecting trajectory. I also think you are right about automatically adjusting to those conditions. For if throw is enhanced by conditions, the player will just hit slightly thinner on all shots, not much thinking there. I...

That is what I want to know. Who actually aims the throw? You can adjust and estimate effects of squirt and swerve when applying english, but how can anyone claim they actually 'calculate' the amount of throw? Throw is such a delicate effect that it sounds correct to say there is only one point...

3/4 hit on the left side, you'll never scratch. This shot is only hard if you never slow roll balls and hence don't have confidence in your aim.
