Make him Amish and get the Farrely Bros to direct and ya got something.

Looks like conversion is four years in Florida.

In looking intently for a used table over 2-3 months recently, it's amazing the types of houses you'd see Diamonds in. Like hope you're also feeding your five kids.

When did they start putting the 9 ball on the spot instead of the 1 when racking?

🤷‍♀️

This guy's all butthurt cuz he started a private conversation with me a couple weeks ago and I asked him some things about CTE, what to watch, what to read and none of it was very good and not at all concise so I gave up. Really did want to understand it.

Those things have nothing to do with what direction to send the cue ball. Is anyone here who is talking about aiming systems talking about how to make a bridge? Because how many posts someone has made on this message board is some indication of knowledge or expertise or common sense? Where did...

No, those aren't other words for what I said. Seeing where to hit one sphere with another sphere to make the first sphere go in a certain direction is a natural ability I suspect 99% of everyone on this board has.

I posit that anyone who doesn't see the aim naturally will be even more challenged to know the fraction, or a-b-c, or which part of the ferrule, or where on the cue ball to where on the object ball, etc...

Do you put the ball in the middle of the pocket or tuck it against the facing?

Too bad no one around here will go there unless they change the name to Cloth.

That's wrong. Doesn't change the point. No duh. Good reason.

Sure I've heard of it, but not after a different format is set. Look, for you to ask about it is fine. You could ask the guy to change the competition to BJs if you want. But calling him nitpicky for declining and making you play according to how the rules were set is absurd.

It's nit behavior to not agree to make it easier for you to beat him when you'd lost and he hadn't in a double elimination tournament? Like bro are YOU serious.

You know, I thought it looked small but assumed it was an optical illusion from the markings. I see it's sold now as an Aramith ball so I presumed it was normal quality/size/weight. Did it used to not be an Aramith?

Thanks. I got a Jim Rempe ball w the table so I'm just using that for now. Wanted the measle ball to see the rotation and the Rempe basically does the same thing.

Is there a reasonably priced, quality measles ball? Not sure why each dot on an Aramith costs $10. Thanks.

Yeah. My 8 year old gets on the table and generally knows the angle. He's no prodigy, it's just simple geometry. If I didn't see the angles I can't imagine wanting to play for even a minute.

One thing that confused me is that I read in one place that the pivot is NOT at the bridge but Lil Chris pivots at the bridge.

Dr. Dave! Do even decent players miss very often due to wrong aim? (And by "aim" I mean "the direction in which I intend the cue ball to go.") I may use a stance or a form or a stroke or do something else that gives me no chance to send the cue ball in the right direction, but I still feel like...
