    Hohmann loses to Ko because of the Cyclop balls

    conclusions based on faulty physics Respectfully, I believe that you are incorrect. I'm only pointing this out because you stated something like it was a law of physics. The physics of rolling spheres with non-uniform density is very complicated. :o Lets assume for the sake of argument that...

    Long rail (terminology)

    second usage of long vs short The more common usage is exactly as has already been explained. That's typical pool speak.

    Restored Brunswick - banking accuracy

    Good to know your old tables play that well. I had a similar experience in the past having Artemis installed on another table. I hated how it played. Going to stick to Brunswick rubber.

New 1.5" thick slate, new rubber, should have good quality bolts, etc. I have not viewed the table myself yet. Unfortunately it is disassembled so I will not be able to play on...

    Rarely do I see what I consider to be a good deal. THIS is a good deal. We need more of it. Please consider enforcing a moderate dress code and appropriately decorating the surround tables viewable from the cameras. This is a noble game an both it and we deserve it!

    Best selling barbox

    Is a Diamond 7 foot pro-am barbox in black the easiest of their 7 footers to resell for close to its purchase price? I ask because I plan to purchase one of them as a stopgap and then upgrade to a 9-footer when we move. We don't know when that move will be so a stopgap is necessary. Yes, necessary.
