i want them, Lou! let me know how you want to be paid, i can do paypal if that's good. i realize that i can get these from you, and get a measle ball to keep the gf happy, and still come out in the same price range. that gives me an extra cueball instead of the rempe ball, which is great. and...

so i'm the mysterious friend. ;) i want to thank Steve first off, for posting this. i'm kinda a n00b here, with only 2 trades, and Steve posting the question will likely get a better response, since he's widely known as a good guy. thanks, Steve! and i want to thank Lou, who i know only via...

sorry if i remembered incorrectly, Bobby, just operating from memory, which at my age isn't always perfect. :) and with that apology, i'd like to move back to the original topic: i'm still interested in what physical factors -- dirt on the table or balls, type of balls, etc -- contribute how...

this is a naive -- not sarcastic or loaded -- question; i honestly don't know the answer. how many 14.1 events does the WPA hold? just as an observation, i doubt that they could claim that using a brand new set of balls would break the rules, and polishing of this sort gets the balls back to...

Dennis, i see there are 3 different "numbers" of Novus: 1, 2, & 3. which one do you use?

Dennis, i found in another thread elsewhere in AZland that Schmidt recommends Brillianize (for sure) for routine use, and the Aramith cleaner (if i remember right) for heavy-duty situations. when i was scoring for him at Valley Forge, he was putting the balls through the Diamond cleaner about...

Michael, i think the upshot of the cue ball weight discussion was that there Shouldn't be any difference within _current_ Aramith, but uncertain how it works in real life given time & history. the cueballs at Ivory are blue circle. the one at the bar is a red aramith logo, although the rest of...

i get to play in 3 rooms, all quite a drive: (1) Ivory Billiards in Holyoke MA. immaculate GCs & Anniversaries with Simonis, good balls (older aramith, i think) usually clean but not polished. (2) dumpy bar in Brattleboro VT. one beattoshit 9' noname, cloth was once nappy but now worn thin...

ran 30 tonight (4/10/12), eclipsing my 29 on Jan 4 at position 39 on the list. 10.14.6 played the first rack very cleanly, got on a nice break shot, made that and then scrambled most of the 2nd rack, but played the last 4 balls, which were still clustered, perfectly, nudging out a great break...

the CueReach is good enough for John Schmidt, so i figured it would be good enough for me, and bought one at Valley Forge. love it, it's cheap, no parts to break, and has saved numerous shots each night i play.

"Please say a bit more about what you mean here. Do you mean mechanics or something else? (Cisero had a slip stroke and a significant pause between the back swing and the forward swing.)" i think one of the things separating a good stroke from a not-so-good stroke is the smoothness of...

"I always enjoy watching him shoot, there's something about his stroke that's so positive and fluid at the same time." Brian, i was lucky to see Cisero Murphy play in 1966, and as i said in the parallel thread on this in the 14.1 forum, Shane's stroke reminds me so much of Cisero's it's...

this is a surprisingly good video. not only is the video quality better than the conditions might've led me to expect, but Shane's play was better than it appeared from where i was sitting across the booth at SBE. it also served as a reminder of what had seemed oddly-familiar about his stroke...

"I know I was stuck in the high 20s forever." amen -- still there, after 2.5 years trying to recover my game from decades of being away. but there's signs of hope. all of a sudden, 3 weeks ago, my stroke clicked into place. it happened quite abruptly one night after 2 hours of practice. went...

thanks for the great videos!!! as Dennis hinted, the match labeled Robles-Immonen is actually Harriman-Immonen. great to see Tony' play in the one vs. Darren, though!

"Okay, I just read about this and we're both going to learn something today. Hitting the shutter button does not lock the Auto-Focus however, you CAN lock it. Hold your finger down on the screen for a few seconds. When you do, you'll see "AE/AF Lock" at the bottom. I just did this and it's very...

whoa, learning a Lot in a hurry from this thread! echo acousticsguru: LOVE this forum. i've been mostly seeing the logo'd balls around here, not the dot or circle, so i'd be very interested to find out more about where they sit in the weight spectrum. and what about the plain white cue balls i...

yeah, but as soon as you click the shutter button, it will lock on what the last thing in the box was, and remain locked for the duration of the video. that's not video auto-focus, which continually re-locks focus as the scene changes during video. many video cameras have this feature, which...

i've done this for a while with my iPhone4, and it works great. i've got a GorillaCam tripod, one of those flexible little ones, cost less than $20, and i made a mount for the iPhone to go on it by glueing a 1/4-20 nut to an office butterfly clip; cost: $0.00, and works great. fits in my cue...

AFeller, in another thread said in response to my praise of this app: "I am very pleased to read that you find the App useful. If you have any suggestions what could be improved, please let me know. I am just planning to change it to a Universal (IPhone and IPad) Application." first off, Thank...
