If your playing room is dark, you probably won't like the Tournament Black. Maybe new lights instead of swapping ball sets?

I bought a cheap dozen(?) pack from CueSoul like 12 years ago and only recently switched to the Predator SecondSkin. Have tried a few of those (one with the closed thumb) and really like them. The fit is much better, but I definitely need to be more careful taking them off so I don't pop seams...

Looked like 5". I think the table was a pretty standard GC. Seemed a little slow for new cloth though.

Predator only makes 3", 8", and 12" extensions. That is certainly shorter than the 3".

It's definitely not the 3". Kinda looks like an extension was cut then a bumper put on it. Would be pretty easy to do. I thought the same about stacking them, but you're adding significant weight with a full joint in the extension and another point in the cue that could lose stiffness.

J. Ouschan was using a 1-2" stubby extension this weekend at the Iron City Invitational. Product testing or personally modified? Makes sense to offer shorter extensions with the number of players that use them full-time. One more way to fine tune.

I switched to wearing my active glasses full time about 2 years ago. They sit really close to my face and wrap around so I don't need the tall lenses. Also a lot lighter and more comfortable than my "regular" glasses were.

I never play for money (except stupid stuff like quarter games). As someone said up-thread: it brings out the worst in people and I play only because I enjoy the game. Unfortunately most of the decent players in my area won't play if there isn't money on the table...

Has anyone picked on Diamond yet? :ROFLMAO: A lot of things can cause that from the pocket itself (shelf depth, facings, excessive shims, inserts, etc) to the way you play the shot (pace, imparted spin, angle to the pocket). My experience watching and playing: usually if it rattles or hangs it...

Had that happen with the OG Predator tip on mine and the Samsara that i replaced it with. I've had other layered leather break tips delaminate on me also. I'd say it's not abnormal for a break tip, but also shouldn't be happening frequently and after minimal use. FWIW I've had a Kamui SAI...

"Since when did you play 8-ball?" "He's giving me 4 balls of the table..." "4 balls off the table is the biggest hustle ever..."

I'm not sure why they made the template itself so broad for the Outsville and Magic racks. I really like the Turtle Rack II. Feels softer and less plasticky than other templates I've used (many of those crease/curl really easily). This one probably has a few hundred 9/10-ball games on it and...

That sounds like a fun challenge. Imagine getting the CB in the middle of that mess... definitely want to play the edges.

On impact with the cue ball I like my back elbow to be *slightly* closed, but the follow through is different for every shot. With ideal cueing I have a pretty long follow through though.

I think we can all agree that would be damn fun to watch. Back to back 9-packs then sudden death? That would be NUTS. Agree that running sets isn't an issue nor will it be in any of the big majors with stupidly tight pockets and MR break rules. When someone has a big pack, they earn the win and...

Different instance, but Pia and Jasmin had a match where the 9 was heading straight for the corner on every break. Jasmin took advantage of having a stronger break (which I don't blame her for), and Pia was (rightfully) upset the racks were allowing it. This was with an official racking using an...

Probably the Gorst v. SVB 10-ball Race to 120? They had a random racking widget that displayed the layout on a monitor at the head of the table. It's a cool concept.

Aramith says that they designed the Black series with Matchroom with 9-ball in mind and the black poles help differentiate the 1/9. Then the rest are just the same. They also touch on why they made the 5 purple instead of the 4. Apparently I was struggling with reading comprehension the first...

That was entirely sarcastic. I know full well no house could afford that, nor would they waste their money if they had it.

Good thing it doesn't come in red, wouldn't last the episode.... :LOL:
