Yes, I was able to find this page before, so I knew that Diamond uses Artemis Intercontinetal No. 66 K55 profiles and I ordered a set to get installed for my Brunswick. It's quite interesting to see that Brunswick has adopted the same Artemis Intercontinental No. 66 cushions used by Diamond...

I had and still have big difficulities finding online the difference between K55 and K66 (so it's quite likely I used the terms in a wrong way). my problem: Diamond rails play differently compared to my Brunswick. I wanted to install Diamond rails on my Brunswick I tried to find out, which...

Diamond has become so dominant in the U.S. that many players — myself included — have modified their Brunswick Gold Crown tables to use Diamond-style rails. Some prefer the classic look and build quality of a Brunswick, but want to practice banking and rail shots on equipment that plays as...

edited 09/24: These are the two rail profiles, taken from the Artemis homepage (I thought it to be called K55 and K66). Intercontinental No. 66 is used by Diamond tables. Pool No. 66 is used by Brunswick tables. The rails play quite differently: Intercontinental No. 66 (Diamond) plays...

FYI, I just posted a video with a collection of 20 One Pocket Puzzles for practice and entertainment. Check it out: Inspired by the incredible runout from Evan Lunda at the Finals of the 2024 US Open One Pocket, I came up with 20 One Pocket positions designed to steal the game from your...

You are probably right, that the players only use it as an excuse. And that they are probably not really interested in becoming better. But someone who made the experience of becoming really good in another field (like playing cello or golf) can get much better practicing on his own with no...

Some more promotion for One Pocket Ghost. In my opinion: best practice game to improve your position play. Endorphins rush of running 12+ is probably same as running 80+ in straight pool or 5 straight racks in 10 Ball - but faster to achieve in case you have less time on your hands 😅

Was able to improve my record against the One Pocket Ghost (5 rack game) by 15 points :D The above video is edited in just under 7 minutes. If someone prefers the uncut (unedited) version, it is available here.

Leave Five is more precise. It's only called Take Five because of the song. Alex Lely is the one, who came up with the name. I just found the video cleaning up and am curious, if I can beat my 2 years old record. 😅

I was cleaning up the videos on my YouTube channel. Check out the new edited version of the above video: Take Five is practice game for Straight Pool (14.1) that I learned from Alex Lely. The music is an excerpt of my favorite radio show, recorded live from radio back in 1994. The Dave...

Room is in the basement. These are some stones in front of the windows.

Posted pictures of my room before (post #1,961). Now completely different atmosphere with new dark red paint on the walls.

At least need a new goal like "Honorary Professorship" of Billiard University for example for reaching 190 points (with a new Diploma) :D

I think streaks are just a statistical occurance. If you throw a coin 1000 times you expect to have a streak of 10 heads in a row once (obviously no skill or higher power involved here). And watching the high run attempts (and time taking Schmidt to break the record) I am pretty sure the math...
