This is the Dr Dave page I mentioned, where he shows the math behind the primacy of end mass determining deflection and opines that stiffness has little impact due to the minimal contact time the cue is in contact with the cue ball. https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/squirt/endmass/ Without...

Build one and find out! Dr. Dave has a page that explains that end mass is the major factor in determining cue deflection.

SVB and Sky both played terrible. Night and day from yesterday with their energy levels. Maybe had too much fun or too little fun last night.

Yes, Qatar’s recent funding / ownership of the ACBS seems to have led to these recent bans. The Americans (BCA) apparently have been against them but don’t have the votes.

Doesn’t Qatar have more money than Matchroom?

The Fedor sky match (now hill hill) is one of the best of the year so far. Spoiler alert: sky was down 9-5 then made a great kick and then a bank shot. He smiled and you could tell he thought he was going to win. I don’t think he missed after that (had a couple safeties) and went on to win...

That looks to be the same text used by all the players.

I was most surprised to see Filler join, in the past he has been unusually supportive of the WPA (perhaps justifiably so given the support European players once received from their federation).

A form of balkline

So did FSR. Good for the players for coming together.

Will be interesting to see who follows

Tyler posted he had to have some sort of medical procedure and withdrew.

I think playing in competition is what makes you better. I have a home table and use it daily. But without competition it’s hard to adapt the skills at home to actual play. Just like a golfer who does nothing but hit balls at the driving range.

I think even the WPA had said that 2036 is the earliest shot for billiards in the Olympics. I don’t think it will ever happen and think pool is better off without it.

Didn't find this on the website, but they are showing it on the stream. @garczar : you buddy and his crew at Side Pockets also did a great job hosting the event. Hopefully they made good money over the weekend.

I played in the Open in this tournament (as bottom tier, dead money). It was a great event the first two days and I would definitely play in another one of their events. The UK team they had running everything was great, and at least as of this afternoon, they were running 30 minutes ahead of...

Here’s the streaming link to the shootout https://www.youtube.com/live/e2KnbF7aLM8?si=NKyPUE7OwtbdIbcx

There are several threads on here already about using opencv for this task.

I signed up to play in the open. The rule set is some weird divergence with English blackball. I don’t expect anyone will know the rules (myself included).
