SVB blanked Styer, I think Tyler made only a few balls.

I have an OXA from little machine shop (on a Taig) and I think it’s a great size for joint work. https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=3112&category= Don’t buy the cheap aluminum ones off Amazon that use a detent to lock the tool holder

I read some of the screen play on your site and liked it. I hope this project is successful!

Sold pending payment.

Sold This is a Cuesmith-style taper bar set. I had this on a Mid-America but it should work with any Taig-style lathe. It includes: 1) Taper bar (one side is a straight taper, the other side is for compound tapers) 2) Headstock and tailstock risers 3) Top slide with taper bar roller and...

Who wins when you play Dr. Dave?

Great video as always. And @Pubo thank you for the tedious work of collecting this data. I’m curious if you have data on the impact tip offset has on the resulting draw, assuming an equal speed. How much difference would .1 in your ball scale make?

I made a little cnc carriage and cross-slide for mine but haven’t used the one Todd sells. It looks decent like all his stuff and I think the main complaint is the pinion gear can strip if it’s configured wrong.

I plan to support this and loudly complain at the same time. It’s like a railbird’s dream. It also undermines the sportswashing.

Yes my thoughts too. Hopefully this causes the prize funds to go up across the board. And maybe more coordination between the Matchroom snooker and pool tours, which can only be good for pool.

Another big deal for Matchroom https://matchroompool.com/news/inaugural-saudi-arabia-snooker-masters-and-world-pool-championship-to-take-place-in-riyadh-and-jeddah-as-part-of-major-10-year-deal/

I started using your formula and I like it. The cheap spray bottle I used doesn’t spray it well however.

I believe Anthony Beeler sells those as part of his coaching course (which is great fwiw). https://www.poolteacher.com/

Yes, Diamond’s profit margins come first apparently. But it would be good entertainment for the rest of us if you rolled up with a taco truck so we could watch the casino security response.

I was way off with my estimate!

Jay, but why would Diamond risk pissing off pros and customers over $20k in buyback fees? The money they make from DCC is nothing compared to their annual revenue from pool table sales. It’s a weird business strategy.

That’s like 40 tables? That’s nothing compared to Diamonds total business isn’t it? Seems like DCC is increasingly being viewed as a dumpster fire (at least online, I wasn’t there) and not serving any point for Diamond.

I don’t know much about Diamond’s business, but I assume the revenue it generates from this event is nothing compared to its core business? That they do this only for positive branding and not to eke out $20k in extra entry fees?

Great BBC photo! How do you think they cut points into the handle back then? Still a router or mill with a 90 degree bit?

Go with the local company with the good reputation. Some furniture tables have better cushions than others so you might be able to find one with full superspeed or the like.
