    Anybody have any experience trying to switch your dominant eye?

    Thanks for all the input! I'm not sure where I left off, but I did in fact try the partial patches, but could not make them work for me. What I have ended up doing is just look in particular for the clearer of the two images as I line up a shot, because the clearer one is my right eye, to make...

    Best Advice Ever For Straight-In Shots?

    First time I watched Jason Shaw practicing, that is exactly what he appeared to be doing -- pounding long shots in over and over.

    Pros and sponsors

    So I would guess cue company sponsorships involve a new cue, probably yearly. Also maybe extra cues that the players razz out to raise money. What about other sponsors, because I see all kinds of different names on player competition jersey's these days, from local to international? Look at Tony...

    SJM at the 2025 Derby City Classic

    They already had a plan in place -- no buy backs on Sunday. The plan was to go a little longer race to determine the winner. (well I guess that means you would have watched a bit longer lol)

    Derby Action

    With the two streamed action rooms at DCC the last few years -- PoolActionTV and Omega -- the bigger action that used to cluster around tables in the DCC action room seems to have wholely gone in to those two streamed rooms, leaving mostly average players in the DCC action room. It was funny...

    Derby Action

    That is it right there. Unintended consequence of associating with a casino is that the casino tries to squash the pool action -- especially the side betting. But the location being right down the road from Diamond is huge!! Just look at the number of Diamond employees working the DCC -- every...

    Pool's latest growth in popularity is due to...?

    Seems like it is growing from my perspective way up northeast in NH. I did not say it was "surging" though -- I said "growth". The "surging" comment came regarding the interest in analog in general (vinyl records and film cameras come to mind)... Maybe someone can post real numbers?

    Pool's latest growth in popularity is due to...?

    Is it because: ...a general surge in interest in retro ("analog") vs digital? I mean pool is basically as analog as it gets! Yet it has the bright colors, action and to a certain degree sounds, of video games lol. Plus of course the winning and losing. But pool doesn't need virtual reality --...

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    right, they don't. But stack shots, dead balls, caroms and combinations, and in particular -- safety play -- are all staples of Straight Pool and translate very nicely to One Pocket :D

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    Given those, then 8-ball. At least with 8-ball you still have a good bit of thinking and creativity. Of course there is some in 9/10 ball, but the fact that the ball on is ALWAYS prescribed by the rules is a huge limit to creativity -- hence 9/10 limit the exercise of your mind that is so...

    14.1 Scorer app - new versions

    I noticed in the match pdf's the data set is a little different -- apparently depending on the version? I get some reports from Android users that have a "Good Breaks" data. But it is not in the iPhone version. Again, thank you for the app! To recap my wishes: #1 basic raw data in excel...

    Where to buy famous player posters / prints?

Lot's of Derby City, Buffalo's in recent years, US Open One Pocket, etc. Have a look https://www.poolinaction.com/ You can buy prints but honestly if I were you, if you see one you like, for about $25 you can buy the digital file and...

    Really cool that you stumbled on one like that, that never got converted!! Not very practical with a full set of balls though !

    Pool Table in Arezzo - Italy

    I thought those little ball catchers probably were for games like "American 4 ball" -- which was really popular here the US in the 19th C, but obviously variations of it must have been popular in Europe too. American 4 ball used two red balls and two white, based on old sets I've seen. It wasn't...
