Does OBS let you stream directly? To YouTube/etc? It looks like a cool mixing tool. I don’t have anything to test with yet is why I ask.

Excellent points, DistinguisheBilliards. @iusedtoberich good to know. I know little to nothing about cameras. Thanks for the direction.

I’m sorry for “raising the dead post,” but I’m looking at building a small arena for streaming matches. I should be able to Mount my lights 9 feet from the floor, and I’m wondering what your thoughts are as to what would work good for “in the light” camera. Additionally, what cams would...

Is the equipment list from the US Open 9-Ball listed or posted anywhere? Balls, cloth, bridges, lighting, racks, etc?

I’d like to say thank you for having an open consideration. I see a lot of assumptions from the rest of the crowd. The funny thing is, I’d bet most of them have a separate break cue! And the stiffness/compression question is concerning a breaking application. So all the woofing about...

That method would work, I agree. I should have been more specific. I’m looking for cb velocity curve, based on cue efficiency. if there isn’t any data on that, I’d like to know if the relationship of efficiency and cb speed in the 20+ mph range would be predictable from other data. On a...

I’m looking for any kind of test results etc that would show the relationship between shaft stiffness and overall CB velocity. I’m curious how marginal or significant stiffer woods with more compression strength will perform compared to maple. Anyone? Even a conical vs pro taper test would...

Two questions, if you wouldn’t mind. What type of adhesives are reliable for laminating shafts? What about coring a shaft (at the joint) that has been damaged? If I drill a shaft to .600 or so, and plug it with a dowel? Is titebond 2 a good option? I’m more of a guitar tech than a...

With the advent of various break shafts on the market, I have a question about the properties and observations concerning them. Of course Purple Heart is stiffer and denser, and of course this stiffness transfers more energy into the cue ball. The question is, how much more energy? it...

What's a good beater cue that uses a 5/16-14 thread? Have a few Joss shafts laying around... id take a Harvard or mizerak lol. Sportscraft... ...something that is about the same level as the beat up Valleys around here we have to play on.

Thank you, Mr Jewett. Are you "the" Bob Jewett, by chance? I enjoyed everything you published if so. Thanks again.

I'm looking for a way to print out pool tables for notes and studying etc. Anyone? Options?

That's what I did before asking. I agree, at their price point they were not a desirable piece.

anyone have an old Griffin cues pamphlet from 2008-ish? They had a trident point cue with no wrap, looked wicked. Long points on black smoke butt. Id love to have it as a reference when having my next cue made.

I do! I have plenty to say. The cues he was spitting out in the early 90's were very Joss-like and had a great feel. Some of the best cues ever. I have played with 4 different cues in that era, and the best hitting cue I ever owned (Diviney, Joss W, Joss E production, Schon, to name a...

Parabolic taper is actually a fancy word to say that the standard taper has been modified to have a 'relief' To give the cue a 1-modified, 2- accenuated, or 3- completely artificial Node point along the shaft. It has absolutely nothing to do with butt warp. And FWIW older SW cues rock...

1 in 40 is the odds of making it. In other words, if you break 64,000 racks of 8 ball then it is about time to make it 3 in a row.

Gave up ALL THE BALLS playing nine-ball-just make one. three times to two different players, and won. Race to 5. Played partners style, them two against me - Every other shot I used the joint pin as the tip - Just the butt of the cue. Played one pocket I gotta make all 8 in one inning...

It is a stab at Dinky - the one who says if you don't make a ball on the break you can't run out. You know, one of the main guys that gets interviewed...

Absolutely, we know it. And when you change climatic conditions, heat, humidity, etc, you have that programmed too. Ever notice people go different routes given the same shot? Pretty sure that's why.
