    Old Dogs New Tricks aka Cue Ball vs Object Ball - Mosconi Team Members Answers

    CB first. It’s the target, what’s actually hit by the cue. When aiming you will see the hit point on the cue ball, so why look at the object ball? The OB will surely be there but does not need to be the focus. The hit point on the CB must be the focus in my opinion. Everyone thinks...

    Cool way to help eliminate body movement

    Interesting relation to the power draw, a shot that has been problematic for me. I work hard on no head movement and it’s paying off on routine shots. But all goes to #$%t on the power draw. So today I focused on still head and seeing exactly where and when the cue tip touches the CB. Bingo...

    CTE Stepping Cue Ball.

    In parallax, using both eyes look at the appropriate CB edge (there are 2, ya know....). 90 degrees from this edge is the location of the CB center to pocket the ball. It's really hard to just jump in at this point. There's a lot of background info to study. This just clarifies what...

    Pool Ball Marker ID

    I found this set and bought it for a few bucks for the ball marker (left). It came with a second piece and I can't tell what it's used for. Here's a photo. The one on the left works to mark ball that may be on the magic rack or if a ball needs to be cleaned. The piece on the right is the...

    Pocket Size on Valley 7ft tables used in APA Tournament

    Watching some of the APA matches from Las Vegas. Looks like Valley 7ft bar box tables. The pockets make the balls look very small. What are the pocket opening dimensions for those tables? Thanks.

    Cue ball hop on Pro Break

    I'm watching a lot of pro matches. They always lineup/aim with the tip of the cue intersecting the cloth and the ball (very low). Then the cue tip comes up as they stroke and the cue ball usually hops a couple inches after contacting the ball at the point of the rack. Sometimes it appears to...

    GC6 Tournament Edition Differences

    Here’s the post script. Bill P and Erik D from Jax Billiard Factory came and set up the GC6 Tournament Edition last week. They did a beautiful job. Took more than 5 hours and they were meticulous at each step. A pleasure for this engineer to watch. Corners are consistent at a smidge below...

    Thanks. Should meet Bill on Friday. They confirmed it is a tournament edition table. Factory has the TE side decals they will sell. On the pricey side for cnc cut vinyl letters, but I do like the look.
