    9' table with 4-1/8" pockets. The balls are the 2.25" Aramith snooker set (full set, but i only use 10 of the reds).

    Phoenix Open - August 18-22

    Is it just me, or did this tab change in DigitalPool? Was looking for the bracket tab, then just went through them. Odd to call the bracket view "Viewer." Don't recall it ever being like that.

    Blasphemy

    10 reds works really well on this table. I wish there were snooker and carom tables around here, I'd love to be able to actually play both. Variety keeps it fresh. Fargo Billiards had one years ago, but it didn't last long. We played 9b on it occasionally. Need binoculars for some of those...

    May get booted for this, but it's good fun.

    I think of the break as a skill set, so why have rules, and so many rules, restricting the break?

    Maybe? I thought it was a smaller tourney. He got the wing down and the cb following the 1 back up table EVERY TIME. It was a glorious example of breaking the game. That's what I try to do now.

    I think of the break as a skill set, so why have rules, and so many rules, restricting the break?

    Pocket size doesn't change geometry. I can easily make the wing every time on my table and it's 4-1/8. Taking away the angle via 9 on the spot and a break box removes that geometry. Filler even proved last year in WI(?) a wider break box isn't enough. If you have the wing wired you can focus on...

    Drop Pockets vs Ball Return Tables in Tournaments

    Sure, but at the same time is it that tough to stare at your cueball for a couple seconds before emptying pockets? I got so used to it in college with how small the buckets were. If i remember right they only held like 4 balls before you could see them over the slate. We *had* to rearrange all...

    The ONLY place on the table you don't concede when giving up BIH

    Just laid it out and looked at it a bit. Occam's Razor: Put the CB in the side opening and shoot the 7 in the top right because of the shelf you can get an angle away from the rail with the CB. It's not an *easy* shot, but it's there and leaves you good on the 8.

    Drop Pockets vs Ball Return Tables in Tournaments

    This actually made me think of something else: Since officials don't like players emptying pockets before the cb stops, would they have an issue with players moving balls to different pockets? I saw Robbie do it this weekend before a 9b, but not sure. Fine, unless they drop one on the playing...

    Arizona Open 2026, Yuma, August 13-16

    It comes in waves. These players are all so stupidly good that whoever finds that little extra for a little longer wins a bunch. Any one of them is capable off ripping of a few wins, Albin included.

    Arizona Open 2026, Yuma, August 13-16

    There were a couple of focus misses. It was a dense weekend and he's had 2 tournaments in a row with INSANE draws. Get the man some rest, mix in a lake day or 2 and he'll be good.

    Mosconi Cup 2026 tickets

    Thank you, sir. I'm mildly terrified of flying with my cues anyway.

    Mosconi Cup 2026 tickets

    I have tickets for all 4 days and I'm staying at Caribe Royale. Are there spectator events/tables there? Not sure if I should pack cues. I haven't seen anything about other stuff going on.
