Science means having a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, showing the test data, forming a conclusion based on the test data, and then publishing it all so that others can repeat. Then repeating all of the above if necessary. Dr Dave and others have done all that. Using a robot is not a...

I sure hope the full time extension fad is over, by players shorter than 6' 4" tall! That was the dumbest few years in pool I've ever seen.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Stiffness affecting CB squirt is as big a myth as pro's don't drop their elbows. There is even one guy on these forums years ago that took a shaft and whittled it away in the bridge area so it looked like a dog chewed on it. It made a localized area very thin...

Diamond Billiards was great! Room was packed. That’s what I like to see. All ages, from 10-70. I played a couple friendly sets with a local. Next stop maybe BAK club. My hookup there disappeared on me. I’ll head that way and if I can’t get in just skip it and go to Philly.

Thanks. I’ll be at Diamond Billiards about 11:20 am if anyone wants to play a set.

That didn't age well, ha ha. Still, I was super impressed with just the little I saw of him. I'll check back in a year.

I used to jump on and off my table every day to turn the overhead camera on and off. Does that count? :)

Here is my take on it. Not for sale. If you click the link it has more posts I made with incremental improvements. This preview only shows my first post. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/3d-printed-cue-extension.560820/

I'm currently spending the night in Petersburg, VA, and driving North in the morning towards Philly. (Morning of Aug 10). Is anyone in my path that wants to hit a few racks? @Black-Balled

Regarding the humidity, all of the indoor spaces at the venue are ice cold. I was wearing my sweatshirt when not in a match. I doubt the outside weather had any influence.

1) The front 6” of the shaft (and ferrule) is hollow. 2) The ferrule material is less dense than other ferrule materials.

It costs a lot more. It also busts your nuts;)

The guy was born with that personality and antics. Guaranteed. Nothing changed on him.

Damn, if you’re 2 hrs from the factory, just go there. They have physical examples of all the leg options, finish options, corner options, etc. Plus, the factory tour is quite fun. I’d still recommend 760 if you get a Diamond for your wet basement.

I think that cue is from the 90’s, not the 70’s.

You’re not understanding it well. End mass is 99% of it. Stiffness does not matter.

Watch out for this junior!!! Kaito Okumura, representing Japan. I watched him play a rack and a half and my eyes put him at about 700 speed already. His stroke is pro speed, imo. Idk how old he is, maybe 15-16 is my guess. I had to go before his next match, otherwise I would have watched his...

Its just logistics, otherwise it would. At the Florida Open, I peaked at the TV table setup. There is a dedicated ref (in addition to the regular ref for calling fouls, etc), that is sitting at a table near one of the cameras. He has a dedicated laptop with a touch screen. It has about 6 big...

No.

Conditions should not be fair for every player in a tournament. Rather, conditions should be fast for the matches the viewers see. That's all that matters to grow the game. Fan support, not player fairness. If it was up to the players, they'd get rid of the shot clock entirely, and make every...
