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))

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...

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...

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

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...

Also correct using distributive property.

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

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...

No one pocket this year? Oh man...

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

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...

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...

Here is the relevant screen shot. Definitely off the rail. No doubt. -td

Yes. He is off the rail. In fact, the object ball is almost a full ball off the rail. Definitely not shooting down the rail. Parallel to it, sure. Check the video again. You have the screenshots, so I'm sure you have it handy. -td
