Update: I called Simonis US, nobody answered but I left a vm. A couple hours later a very nice guy named Alfred called me back, and was very interested to hear about my issue. He asked me to email pics and receipt, which I did, and he plans to send to the factory for their opinion then get back...

Let us know if you need more help spending money 😎

Looks great! Are you planning to add parabolic louvers?

Coming from custom-maker maple shafts, then to Predator 314s and z2, then OBs, I give my current player, a Cuetec Cynergy 12.5 CF, a 10/10. I bought a Rhino 12.5 CF as a backup, and give it a 9/10. The only noticeable difference compared to the Cuetec is that it’s not quite as smooth, so it...

That was higher-quality video than I was expecting, thanks for sharing. Yeah, he knew his way around a table. The cloth looked fairly fast, too. Only annoyance was the mid-inning rearrangement of balls back into a cluster around the bomb ball.

I’m the same way, on chin while aligning/feathering, slightly off for delivery. A mismatched joint, like my Rhino that’s the perfect diameter for my Cuetec Truewood but drilled slightly off-center so one side is a touch high, is bothersome on the chin.

You had me at Henceforth 😂

I haven’t tried cutting them, but I think you’ll need to use a power saw to avoid cracking/splintering them. Their plastic seems harder/more brittle than egg crate diffuser plastic.

Maybe because “there you go” means “I screwed up, now it’s your turn” to most everyone? I’ve never run into anyone who considers it a concession, and I’d never take it that way. I think Chris is talking about approaching the table in a deliberate move to concede, either ending in a handshake or...

Nope.

fyi, if you’re playing on a laptop, you have to use a mouse. Trackpad is unsupported. It’s a quirky UI to say the least, lots of keyboard and mouse shortcuts to learn.

Check the dimensions. That’s how they’re made to be used.

There is a Mac version of VP. There’s not one of Shooters Pool. You can play by yourself, against others, or set up any drills or shots you want (and save setups).

There are several YT vids of Mike Dechaine launching the CB 10 ft in the air at 33 mph. There used to be one where he broke the table light, but can’t find it now.

I think it’s around $30. Awesome software, nearly perfect physics. You can easily test what is possible/impossible with position play by adjusting spin and speed. Shooters Pool is great too and has better table and room designs, but they don’t have a Mac version. Next time you use Break Speed...

UPDATE JAN 22, 2024: I just heard back from Alfred at Simonis. Turns out my cloth was from a defective roll (id’d from the serial number visible under black light), and they’re going to replace it at no charge. 👍 ----------- I had new Simonis 860 installed 3 months ago on my home table. All I’ve...

Yeah, it’s a nice app. 26 is very respectable. I used it the other day to measure a max effort break in Virtual Pool 4: 54mph! (see vid below) btw were the breaks in your graph all the same effort? The reason I ask is that it’s quite a bit of variance, so thought I would let you know that often...

I’ve literally never heard someone say “I concede.” To make that or a raking of balls required for a concession is certainly not done anywhere I’ve played (US).

Well, in your pic the light goes up your wall nearly to the level of the light, so I would guess around 85º.

I'll take a pic of my local dive bar's table lighting next time I'm there. It's truly pathetic, with random tiny track lamps on the ceiling not even close to centered above the two tables.
