"“When he first got on the team, I was actually rooming with him in Vietnam, and I told him, ‘You owe me dinner for the rest of your career, because you’re literally taking one of my spots,’” Dominguez, who has played on the US Mosconi Cup team three times, said with a laugh." Fair play, Oscar...

Kamui SAI Control all day. Samsara fell apart on me (layers separating). Stock Predator break tip (BKRush) was fine, but not great.

Along this line: what percent of miscues result in a foul for other reasons? (missed object ball, no rail, etc) At least in my experience it's most.

It's not just draw, grippier in general. But still rolls fast, so it plays really different from a slippy new Simonis cloth. Not a difficult adjustment, but had a couple position shots right away that were head scratchers. Once i figured it out it was fine, just took a couple racks to adjust.

It's the liner sticking out inside the pocket that causes problems. It's not flush to the back of the cushion. It's also weird how much smaller the cup is compared to the slate cutout.

That explains my confusion. Great info. I measured the pockets and they were 4-7/8, and yes they play like buckets except for balls rejected by the plastic pocket liners that don't look like they belong.

Was feeling nostalgiac this weekend and went up to the NDSU Memorial Union in Fargo for the first time in 6-8 years. This place is the reason my grades sucked... I had them put in tourney blue back in the day because the place was so dark. They've gone back to green and the lighting is SO MUCH...

I'm here for the Efren/Django final. Make it so, universe!

You can get silencer pads online. I had to replace one of mine and it's been perfectly fine. Straight to the vault plate shouldn't be an issue unless you're in the habit of wearing your tip down to the nub.

Unpopular opinion: The traditional* ball set is is too dark across the board and awful to watch/play with. *I am assuming you don't mean the Pro Cup set, which is very good.

18 no-show in the first round SO FAR (excluding The Lion). Jeez.

I have these and the 8-ball rack works really well (use the 9/10b far more, but have used the 8b enough to say it works). https://www.pooldawg.com/pool-table-accessories/standard-pool-table-accessories/pool-ball-racks/turtle-rack-combo-8-9-10-ball-rkturc Possibly worn/mismatched balls? I've...

We've got enough regular slop on this site, we don't need "ai" contributing to it. :ROFLMAO:

The Collectors thread got me curious. Here's the weights of my Aramith Tournament Black set: Ball Weight (g) Note 1 169 2 169 3 168 4 168 5 168 Orange 5 168 Purple 6 169 7 168 8 168 9 169 10 168 11 169 12...

This is a fantastic lesson in calling tough shots. The more i look at it the tougher it is, but it is definitely a foul. The trick is knowing how to know it was a foul. I also appreciate you calling out that being an official is difficult. These Refs are staring at who knows how many shots all...
