    How to clean a mushroom?

    If you've not tried them, the Japanese kiridashi knives work great for hand tipping. It's much easier to get them flush with the ferrule and they are wicked sharp.

    So now I have a Diamond

    You ain't kidding! It's definitely worth the extra time knowing it's done right. Enjoy the process, it's work for sure but it's enjoyable to nitpick the heck out of setting up a table. :)

    How to clean a mushroom?

    The common method is to rub the dirt off of them with a towel. They say soaking in water can water log them. Now for the real answer: 1. Shave it off, easiest on a lathe but they make tools that work to varying degree OR if small just burnish it back into the tip. 2. Not really. Not really. It...

    Cool Pool Lingo

    "Sold the farm." "Wiped it's feet." "That break was dryer than a popcorn fart." A ball that hangs in the pocket: "Just look at how picky that 5 ball is!" "Pocket speed" especially if a ball hangs and falls several seconds later. "Took the hard way out" when having to shoot tougher shots from...

    STOOOPID Questions about "Cue Makers guild" YouTube & Cue Demon CNC

    He has had quite a past. He's posted interviews and such telling his side of the story. Most will not do business with him. I'm subscribed to the CMG channel. It's cheap, like $2 a month and there are some good in depth videos on cuemaking. It's a good channel. I didn't get burned by him. He...

    Pool Chalk……Constantly Evolving……..What’s the Future?

    Honestly if you take one of the Bulletproof recoil hard and chalk it with V10 you can play for half a dozen racks and it still has chalk.

    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    I think Fargo is more like a thermometer or speed radar for players. It shows how "hot" they are or their speed. Sure there are outliers, specialties, people better on different conditions, but all this stuff is true with or without Fargo. Fargo at least gives you an idea of a player's speed...

    BCA pool league adjusting Fargo rating

    I've played pool again for probably 6 years now. I only have a robustness of 109. To top that off the main event that I got most of the scores was the first big event (50 or so tables) I had ever played in. I played like dog shit. I know my rating is lower than it should be but in the following...

    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    What do you mean a rally car driver won a rally race against a nascar driver? Oh... the nascar driver has never turned right, driven on gravel, cobblestones or snow? But but but racing is racing! ;) 🤣 🤣 🤣 1P has only recently been added as a discipline in Fargo IIRC. I think of Fargo as a...

    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    I'm guessing if someone became a 650 playing on ONLY 9' and someone became a 650 playing on only a 7' the 9' guy would have an advantage on the 9' and the 7' guy would have an advantage on the 7'. In reality most 9' players have competed in something on a 7' but much fewer 7' players have...

    Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

    I agree. I don't know if it's genetics or not but some people just take to the game better than others. I think any player may be able to raise their fargo 100 points if they get super dedicated, but more than that is just as rare as can be. A 50 point swing is more realistic but even that...

    Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

    I'm sorry but that is just wrong. There are no mid tier players who will beat SVB or Gorst through a bit of instruction. It's a patently ridiculous thought. Could he improve a mid tier player to be better, sure. But there's no mid tier player going to take out the GOATs by learning about...

    Corner pocket shelf

    That looks like mine. Are all pockets the same? Could the installer not have centered the rail bolts in the slate holes? If they were pushed to one side it could make one end of the table have slightly deeper shelves. I'm not trying to be disparaging but it could be technique. I don't know your...

    Pool and Race

    I live in rural Iowa. We have about 6-10 Black pool players (some from the US some from other countries), that play somewhat regularly at the pool hall. We have several Hispanic players. A couple of the Black players are from the Caribbean so hell for all I know they may consider themselves...
