Nice job. Do your pockets look like the pic I posted? The room owner claims all his tables are 4.5" pro-cut. He also mentioned the slates are longer than some. According to him, some of these tables have slates that are 1 inch longer than others and he received both styles. He had them...

Okay I stopped at our local room that has pro-cut pocket 7-footers. I only had a half hour so I played the pro ghost one race to seven. 7-2 me with 3 B&Rs. I was breaking well which helped. Fargo 620ish depending on the day. Pockets look right?

Super common on a coin-op when a rack is completed and there are still 9 balls available to use for the next rack. If you play exclusively at a bar that opens the tables, you may have never had a need for it.

Please do, and GL in tourney. I'm sure you can bust the 9ball ghost but the 10B just breaks tougher. I'd guess you're even money on the 10B ghost on a reasonable tight 9 footer. How have you done against the 10B in the past? I don't think I've been brave enough to try it. Is there a new...

Enough players complained about the colors that one of our local rooms shelved the set they bought. Good riddance.

IIRC, they added more on the end in one of the big ones because it was too close and neither wanted t coming down to one rack for the $$$. Was it the Chang match? Doh...

This. I watched a couple racks and saw 3 balls that would not have gone on my 9', or on any of the 7s at one of our rooms in town. I don't know about league cut, but definitely not pro cut from what I saw. However, I think Freddy shoots well enough to have success on the pro cut tables. He...

Been available for months. Hope the people who bought those abortion sets change out the purples at the very least. Aramith could come out with a set of solid white balls with black numbers and Matchroom would switch to them and tout them as the best balls in the world for the right price.

So true. On days when I am breaking well, I play the pro ghost fairly even in races to 5 to 7 games, and win easily over the bih ghost. (9' Diamond ProAm 4.5" pockets) When I am not breaking well I only win 20-30% of the games against the bih ghost. 620ish FR here btw

I may be inclined to pay $10 for a copy of the full match to watch at my leisure. Like most PPVs, I don't have time to tune in all day for days at a time. I'm typically stuck with highlight videos after the fact.

IIRC, in his segment of What's in the Case, Fedor mentioned how wet his grip hand gets. He carried something in his case to help with that issue but I cannot remember what it was. Any wrapped cue used by a sweaty-hand player can feel tacky to a dry hand. I find waxed linen to be slicker than...

Kaci is tough to watch without a shot clock.

You know what would make it better? More ridiculous pictures of Jayson Shaw all over the room. Yeah the camera work is poor and they jump all over the day's timeline between racks. Also, if anyone wants to see how well the tables roll, check out Chua's jump-bank on the 8ball in the 7th rack of...

I've been busy/ out of town for most of it but when I watch MR events live I use a box that streams all sporting events. Skysports typically carries the events. Doubt I'll ever give DAZN a penny. The box does have some DAZN streams but they are difficult to find.

Stating the camera work is poor is far from hating SMH. I noticed yesterday that they were in such a hurry to show the replay of the break that they started it before the balls stopped rolling.

Vetting people is surely racist somehow.

I can understand when teams may get matching jerseys for nationals, etc. Individual amateurs wearing jerseys with their names on them look silly imo. They are quite popular regardless. Now if a company provides you with clothing to wear and pays you for the exposure, I see nothing wrong with...

I ordered a pressure switch for a compressor and the seller used USPS. I received an email from the bay, telling me it had been delivered. I tracked the package after not finding it at my home. According to USPS, it was picked up by an individual from a post office in a different town and is...

He played a pretty big set last year with Patsura. 10ball on the 9 foot. Play was fairly even. Patsura broke much better, and often followed a rack win with a B&R. Henney almost never made a ball on the break, so he could not get any momentum. The break advantage affected the score greatly iirc.

So I gather he did not actually want informed opinions on the matter. IMO, buying a low level table like the one your fried chose at new price is a mistake. Most off-label tables for the home can be found <$500 on the used market. Hope he likes it.
