I love a well set up Gold Crown. I have one in my basement. Always loved Gold Crowns. Majestic heavy tables. I love Diamonds too. I play on Diamonds almost every day And love them. Adjust. Diamond owns the table market in poolrooms. Brunswick relinquished their dominance on purpose. They threw...

I play a lot of one pocket too. I play mostly on a Diamond with 4 1/8 pockets and the table plays great. You can still ram a bank in if hit correctly on this table. It's also easier to clear a hanger away in a tight pocket if you know what you are doing. On a tight table pocket speed, when...

Get thee to a poolroom. Make friends.

I agree. Hope you are doing well Coos.

Never ever thought about my shoulder position while shooting. I have an idea. Let's really complicate the game. Pretty sure the stroke is delivered from a lower position than the shoulder like elbow or wrist. I could be wrong.

Exactly.

Pick one and pocket it. That's 10 ball call shot call safe. Percentages. More decisions to make hence luck is taken out of the game. Or just make them both.

Why? A little more thought goes into it. Do you ever play one pocket?
