PPB is the way to go. Integrates with Poolbilliards.co for drills. Lots of content. The system isn't the expensive part, it's the projector. You want a bright pool table which means you need a brighter projector. That adds some $. FWIW, I recall that there was some backstory to the ICA...

There was a guy that sold the short end on eBay. I bought a few a while back. They came with a pin and you just screw it into your shaft. Or you could get a blank one and put your own pin in it. Here's a radial one I have lying around. [edit: it was Fisher cues, called the Shorty Jump...

Thanks, Hu! Hope all is well! -td

G'dam. Even Gape Owin... Someone put a stop to it.

Yes. On Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/OverThought3D

I literally designed a 3D printed chalk holder for this exact reason. It has spacers that push the chalk up and let you use it to the bitter end. No more using coins for me! I also integrated a ball marker into the holder, but it comes in handy once in a blue moon. -td

Thanks (again) for the insightful writeup! The only thing I would add from the remove view perspective: I'm glad Matchroom is trying different things to attract viewers. Having a tik tok live feed was pretty interesting. I understand what they're trying to do and it was probably great for...

Agreed. I've been around pool for decades and this doesn't offend me in the slightest. Here's just a small spattering of examples, including Mosconi Teams, SVB, Biado, etc. 2023 Mosconi 2022 Mosconi 2021 Mosconi 2022 World 9-ball 2021 World 9-ball [commentator: “…staying...

Pool was in the crapper for decades and now it’s not. New blood. New world. New celebrations. Good for him AND the sport.

I hover around 650 fargo and have been up near 680. I played BCA for many years (finished top player in league a few times) and have been to Vegas around 10 times. I stopped playing BCA and now play VNEA (which is almost identical to BCA in format/competition) and also play APA Masters. In...

Drop pockets. Ball return is loud at home and the older you get, the less you want to bend down and get balls from the return. And, if you play any one pocket, it helps prevent sleeping balls. -td

What cue do you have? I think there are a lot of good options out there, but I don't like that twist on one. It's heavy and cumbersome. The Drill Instructor makes a Bazooka extension that is a plastic variation of the old Hager version. It's pretty good, but a little long. Simple to use...

30 bucks for 3 days of entertainment! I'm in! -td

They do. Not on every shot, but I've seen pros add an extension for particular shots - like when bridging an awkward distance from the rail and you want more room on your cue, or when the cue ball is frozen to the rail and you want a little more weight on the cue. Oscar just did this in a...

Cloth is the original stuff that came with the table in August 2020, so almost 4 years old. [9' Diamond, pro-cut pockets, Simonis 860 HR]. Balls are the new Ararmith 100 anniversary set. They have over 100 hours on them, but are generally clean because I run them through the ball cleaner once...

Nope. Just nerves. They asked Pijus and he said he didn't even see it. -td

Just from your picture, the cloth looks OK and probably plays fair even now. That said, if the burn spots are bothering you, you can "upgrade" to a light color like tournament blue or the Matchroom gray. They hid the white marks better. HR will last a long time, even with significant table...

I'm in the Houston area, ha! There are a fair number of pros for lessons in the Houston area. Roberto is here if you want world class, but there are also a lot of 700+ Fargo players/instructors. Depending on what you are looking for, you can get quality instruction in H-town. No prob. -td
