    Illuminated Cueing arts vs Projection Pro Billiards systems (ICATS vs PPB)

    I have PPB and it works great. It is integrated with Poolbilliards.co drills, which is what I use it for primarily. This combo gives you hundreds of skill level dependent options. You click a drill on your phone and it auto-populates to the table. It's pretty slick. There is also a ton of...

    People who use chalk holders...what do you do when

    Lot's of ways, but here's a solution I offer. Holder comes with different sized spacers and a box to hold everything. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1492000803/ You can get down to the very bottom of the chalk with this setup. I sell all the pieces-parts a la carte, but the kitchen sink is...

    Another ball spotter idea but with a twist

    Sounds neat, but I think I would still prefer the donuts because they remove human placement error. The balls just fall into "exact" place pretty quickly. -td (my two cents (probably worth a little less))

    Shims

    No. Not all tables have shims. But virtually every table has pocket facings. The pocket facings have a different hardness than the cushions (slightly harder) for a few reasons. The Durometric reading for many pocket facings is around 60. Maybe we're saying the same thing, but there is a...

    How Important Is it to Own/Use a Break Cue

    IMO, it really depends on how serious you are. You can definitely play with just one cue, but almost no one does. The fact that all pros have a separate break cue (and pretty much have for decades) is probably an indicator. In the "old days," I think having a dedicated cue was primarily so...

    Shoot a Million Balls? Give me a break.

    And that's why not everyone is a world champion. If you can't/won't grind for 11 years, you deserve mediocrity. -td

    Ranking of Pool Fundamentals

    Surely this thread is click bait? How is stance rated a 2 in importance when "behind the back"/"opposite hand" are a 1? Saying stance and shooting behind the back are almost the same low value is laughable. "elbow drop" = 4? (is this saying whether someone drops their elbow or not is twice...

    CSI banned me from BCA state tournament due to a google review

    Pool Is Not Dead on FB has a huge following. Dunnski Dungeon as well. They'll give you feedback on whether they agree with you or not. -td

    2025 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    Ran the Matchroom Ghost -> 9 on the spot. When I made a ball, it was usually just one, so the runs were longer and took more effort than 1-on-the-spot. But, with a good spread, it was still possible to make it work. All said, I found the 9 on the spot to be a much harder game than 1 on the...

    The Texas Open is free to stream on Youtube

    Wasn't PoolActionTV doing all the streams? Did they kick PATV to the curb? Or am I misremembering? Just wondering... -td

    MR Finals Breaks/Every Third Rack

    Is this what happened? Everyone: Fix pool's reputation. Make it mainstream. Show it on TV. Get the players more money, MR: Done. Here is live televised pool worldwide and more money for the players. Oh, we're going to have ad breaks so we can get that money. Island: I want fewer...

    US Open 08/18-23

    We are definitely in for a treat today. These last 4 have been showing a lot of ability and heart! I can’t wait! I think Yapp has all the momentum, but it’s hard to bet against Chua, Ko, or Fedor. Man. I like Yapp if only to add him to the list of players with an undeniable year of success...
