    Houston.

    I think it's something like: Roberto Gomez [790] Alex Calderon [752] / Tommy Tokoph [736] Blaine Barcus [716] / Ernesto Bayaua [713] / Raymond Linares [707] / Eylul Kibaroglu [693] Then there are a bunch of 650-ish players. Big Tyme and Bogies up north are likely spots. -td

    Fedor vs Shane argue with me

    I’m a Captain America fanboy, but I think Fedor wins this time. He’s on a mission. -td

    quick question for you all about draw shots

    Your can definitely improve draw by practicing stop shots from 3-4 diamonds away. This will allow you to analyze your stroke mechanics at a slower speed. Eventually increase the stop distance a diamond or two more. This will be the same stroke to get decent draw when the cue ball is only 1...

    Comprehensive list of drills?

    I like pooolbilliards.co. They have hundreds of drills and a tracking system. And videos of most of them for reference as well. [https://www.poolbilliards.co/] -td

    Filler beats Shane 9-0

    Filler has been shooting pretty good all week. He has 4 -> 9-0 matches. 2 -> 9-1 matches. And 3 9->2 matches. So 9 of his 14 matches gave up 8 games total… -td

    Filler beats Shane 9-0

    I watched the stream and it was about as good a set as you could shoot. 30 minutes total. Filler was in dead stroke and his break was perfect. Made the wing ball and shape on the one in the top corner every time. It was pretty amazing. His 7-pack on the TV table was impressive. -td

    8-ball as a rotation game

    Maybe a modified Saratoga? The early 8 by combo is interesting. -td

    First Problem With Pirate Shipping

    Yeah. Sucks. But PirateShip isn't the issue. They just pass along whatever the carrier decides to do. I've had something like this happen for international shipments. It sucks to get a "SURPRISE! You owe us money" email. [Well, actually, "we took some more money!"] -td

    832

    I think what you said is precisely the point of a high run challenge: it removes the person in the other chair so the shooter can go 100% offense. It is not a tournament by design. Comparing it to a tournament, while somewhat interesting, is apples/oranges. Either way, Jason is a beast and...

    iPhone bracket to attach to table light

    What light were you targeting? I think you could 3D print a bracket to use a standard iphone mount. Shouldn't be too difficult but might not be universal for all tables.

    TAOM V10 BLUE

    I have been using different Taom chalks for a few years. Pyro, V10 green and now V10 blue. I got V10 blue right at 2 months ago. My conclusion is that V10 blue is not my favorite chalk by Taom. I also agree that it appears to miscue more than other Taom chalks. I'm actually a little...

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

    Matchroom and WNT are probably the biggest reasons. -td [My two cents. Proabably worth less.]

    Aramith 100-Year Anniversary set - now an AAR thread

    Mine were pristine. No spots. You are getting a new set, so I wouldn't worry about a defective set. What number set were they? -td

    Aramith Limited Edition 100’s - Use Them or Save Them?

    Comparing top of the line ball sets to the bottom of the barrel isn't really an accurate comparison. You could that type of analysis with anything and make the premium product sound suspect. Pool, golf, tools, watches, cars, whatever. A better comparison would be top-tier vs top-tier...

    Aramith Limited Edition 100’s - Use Them or Save Them?

    IMO, the market for $700+ pool balls is very limited. You could indeed make a small profit, but it might be a while. I think they play well, but really not much better than any other set. So, I guess I see not using them. Meh, just use them. You have them already! -td

    2024 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    I didn't interpret your question as contentious. It's actually a good question. The rules permit pattern racking, and this pattern is very good for a ghost challenge. I think I got it from Corey or one of the other pros that pattern rack. I find that it can improve run out percentage...
