    aiming systems and Digicue

    I agree with you and believe that CTE is not much more than a perception. It is all about how you see the shot. If you do not see the shot accurately then you cannot possibly pot the ball repeatedly even if you have a perfect stroke. Honestly I think the fundamentals of stance and stroke are...

    aiming systems and Digicue

    Quick question will using an aiming system like ProOne CTE cause Digicue to vibrate? Seems like it might if you are lining up one spot on the cue for the practice strokes then hitting center ball on the follow through.

    Hi, let's talk about Chinese 8-Ball

    Thanks for the links. That answered a lot but I am still left with questions about the tables used. The links specify the playing area to be 100 x 50 in. Which is the same as an American 9 x 4 1/2 ft table. It does not specify thickness of slate. For that matter it does not specify bed material...

    Can anyone enlighten me about Diamond's retail business model and pricing?

    You guys got me started again. I am not writing this to upset RKC. He knows more than I ever will about building tables. I also know he has a lot to do with the current diamond product development. That being said we don't always agree on everything either. Heath Manning of Manning Cues is the...

    Hi, let's talk about Chinese 8-Ball

    Here are some questions about Chinese 8 Ball. Is there a governing body for the game? Are there international standardized rules? Do the rules specify equipment such as thickness of slate, Type thickness, or speed of cloth? Size of playing area? Diameter and weight of balls? Specific cue...

    Hi, let's talk about Chinese 8-Ball

    I am sorry your post was deleted but my opinion is worthless around here. My experience around here for me being an ex gold member but not being associated with a billiard related business has changed the way I see things on this site. To me the experience I have on here has changed from what it...

    Hi, let's talk about Chinese 8-Ball

    Wait so all you have to do to get a thread deleted around here is simply turn it into a commercial promotion while not a gold member. Previously I thought that all threads were permanent based upon my asking to have two of my own threads deleted previously then posting separately asking why the...

    Importance of climate control in a pool room

    Recently I added air conditioning to the room with my pool table. I was literally in shock on the difference it seemed to make both in my enjoyment of the game as well as the way the table seems to respond. This was only one more thing on my list of creating the same experience at home as I...

    Ceiling Fan and LED Light

    I can see where your concern is with the light being in the path of the air from the fan. But my thought is if it is a problem causing movement of the light then why not simply find a more stable way to install the LED panel. Maybe a box around the LED panel which would add weight but reduce the...

    Would this be interesting to you?

    I too own the entire DVD sets from Tor. In reading this thread the same question keeps coming up in my mind. As mentioned previously there are a couple E-Books with drills that you may not have seen in the Videos. One is called Ball pocketing drills I cannot remember the title of the second but...

    Diamond tables from tournaments

    Yes they are still available I would contact Heath Manning of Manning cues as he is the Exclusive dealer on the internet and he is actually more helpful than Diamond is directly. One other thing you should consider if your not already a member of the BCA you should sign up for an associate...

    So while I'm buying a table, what am I forgetting...

    I only read a few responses so please forgive me if this lists to many duplicates. Lighting (there is an AZer on here that sells LED panels that are reasonably priced and very bright without being blinding) Just make sure you mount it high enough over the table to avoid people hitting it. If...

    Cloth burn from breaking?

    Yes as mentioned before you will get burn spots from breaking, Jumping, Draw shots the best solution I have seen is to use a break jump cloth typically a small square of billiard cloth. If you don't have access to any scraps you may want to ask at your local pool hall or table mechanic. If you...

    Idea for Diamond Mod

    I would have gotten a 9ft if I had the room. At this point Im thinking if I find a place with enough room i might even go for a 10 ft bigfoot table.

    Idea for Diamond Mod

    Seems like general consensus is to simply practice on the table with it as is until I acquire the skills to be a world beater then consider making it more difficult at home then it is in any bar. It seems to me practicing on specific target areas of a pocket on a table with smaller pockets would...

    Idea for Diamond Mod

    Glen, That is a good idea about putting 760 on it instead of 860. When I compare the speed of a 9 foot table red label pro am to that of a 7 ft blue label pro am with the same 860 cloth the larger table seems considerably faster. Do you think putting 760 cloth on it will make up for the speed...

    Idea for Diamond Mod

    I was thinking the past few days about my Diamond table. It is a 7 foot table with procut pockets. Ever since I got it I have wanted to upgrade the cushions to Artemis as I believe it would make the table a lot more responsive. It would also have a much longer warranty then the Black Diamond...
