    Would a lint brush work???

    Those are 6.5" wide (normal lint roller is 4"). That got me searching for something even wider. These are 8" wide, widest I could find - a little more $ but 3M brand: https://amzn.to/3HJpcWN

    Simonis 860 HR cloth

    Simonis has had some issues in manufacturing due to their factory getting flooded in the summer of 2021. But their recent cloth is back to pre-flood standards. Besides looking at the long thread linked above, just make sure a) it's geniune Simonis, and b) it's not installed upside down (the...

    Searing Cue

    Looks like he has 16 five-star reviews on Google, just in case you want to go skew that a bit. You never know what might motivate someone to take care of a customer: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Kuj7FVLVy1HdySKU8

    I fixed Fargorate

    Looks close to a normal gaussian distribution by my analysis, depending on where you cutoff the rate ranges:

    That pic of Kelly McGillis reminds me of every time I go to lookup one of my cute high school crushes on Facebook. So many bullets dodged.

    Lol Tom as Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder... perhaps the greatest scene ever shot. For a guy with only 39 posts since joining in 2012, you're killing it today!

    Kielwood vs Carbon fiber

    I'd like to try the Tiger Fortis LD, the orange ferrule is sweet, but they need to calm down a bit with their marketing copy (emphasis mine): "As one of the most powerful, solid hitting and no deflection shafts on the market" from https://tigerproducts.com/products/fortis-ld-carbon-fiber-shaft

    Paul did in TCOM. That character arc was a large part of its charm. Here's the final scene... the final line of the movie after Paul wins the lag and breaks against Tom is "Hey... I'm back!"

    Should All Skill Levels Have an Equal Chance to Win a Weekly 9-Ball Handicapped Tournament?

    This is how my local room in Austin does weekly tournaments with no handicaps. They're played on 10 of the room's 18 Diamond Pro-Am 9-footers. Field's always full, with several 700+ guys in the mix. The Break Contest is breaking and trying to run a full rack of 15 balls in rotation. The pot...

    Maybe he prompts it to write in the manner of an autistic, mid-30s, attention-seeking, and socially-awkward hebephiliac who rarely leaves his mom's basement.

    Cruise remains one of the biggest box-office draws in the world. No way it would be a mistake to include him.

    Best Shot to Gauge Skill

    I'm not sure why anyone would stun that shot - it's a dead scratch. A rolling cue ball with medium speed (the most accurate way to hit a CB) gets the job done easily, going safely long of the corner by 3/4 diamond: While a draw, to try to cheat the scratch, needs to be hit perfectly, at the...

    Jumping/Pro Play

    Hadn’t heard of that rule suggestion, but I’d be ok with that. (except when I'm playing the ghost, lol)

    Jumping/Pro Play

    If you don’t want your opponent to get out of a safe with his jump stick, then play a better safe. To me it’s one of the most exciting shots in the game to see executed successfully - especially if I do it. I would hate to see it go away. Those burn marks on my home table are badges of honor.

    The Hustler > The Color of Money > ???

    How about a young, cocky German kid who is currently the top tournament player in the world and has a hot girlfriend wife who also plays? And maybe the German kid has been dodging gambling overtures from his peers, but finally and reluctantly agrees to a big-money match against Cruise of...
