What are the differences between the two lines? Why would you choose one over the other?

How does that work? Is a two rail bank worth the same a two one rail banks?

I recall having a (now deceased) pro tell me that the entire object ball had to be out of the kitchen in order to shoot at it after a scratch in one pocket. This particular player had won a 1P tournament that was billed as the US Open One Pocket and it was several years after the rules were...

Of course, this means that Mosconi's 526 is nothing either.

Is it too much to ask that you should be familiar with the rules before you play in a tournament? They are spending (at least) hundreds to go to and enter the tournament - probably more. They stand to win thousands, but they can't be troubled to familiarize themselves with the rules beforehand...

Is there a system for these two rail kicks/banks?

It's not like I'm qualified to critique a 100 and out run from the break, but... There were a few times he moved balls unnecessarily. I saw him in the DCC 14.1 challenge two years ago and it was apparent he didn't know the rules of the game. Quite a remarkable advance since then.

I don't have a problem with it. The venue is really nice and the hosting pool room doesn't have to give up their (presumably) lucrative evening leagues in order to host the tournament. I haven't heard any of the participants complaining about the scheduling. What's wrong with that?

I'm afraid it's true and they did the same thing last year. Don't know about before that. The tourney is scheduled before 6:00PM on Tuesday through Thursday. They go late on Friday when there are no leagues and they finish Saturday afternoon.

Hey Dave, weren't you the one that said "Get the Freddie shrimp, it's the best."?

Schmelke Seems like every time the question comes up about quality at a good price, Schmelke comes up. Here's an example: http://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/schmelke/schmelke_r40-birdseye.htm

I'm skeptical.. Is there a way to measure how much spin can be transferred from the CB to the OB? It doesn't seem to me that anyone could transfer very much spin from one ball to another. But maybe it doesn't take very much to help the OB go in.

Very useful! Here's an additional idea: Don't know how difficult this would be to implement, but... Have you seen how the Break Speed app allows the user to tell the app where he has placed the cue ball for the break? A similar technique could allow the Poolology user to show the locations of...

I don't understand. Aren't they selling a computer AND a program?

Cool tool! I can't help wondering why a dedicated computer is necessary. Seems like any common PC should be able to do the job. If this becomes popular, that may be the next development - just to help get the cost down.

I've heard that from others before. Isn't it odd how Saluc says otherwise?

Clean balls This brings to mind the Corey Deuel video of a 14.1 run from a few years ago where he cleans the balls repeatedly once he has a few racks and presumably wants to protect what he's invested so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67d_MYqcwnM Until this video, I'd never seen anyone...

So why do you want one if the deflection characteristics are a problem? Surely that's the biggest difference between these and what you are used to.

Direct from the horse's mouth... I sent the following email to Saluc/Aramith recently. Note that they say the balls should be stored in the dark to minimize yellowing and also that their Aramith Restorer helps too. Can you please tell me if there is any practical way to reverse some of the...
