    I found my perfect training game

    I like this concept, I have been doing something similar (just counting wins/loss and not points). However one variation I do is that I can take ball in hand once per rack at anytime (it doesn't need to be right after the break). Your scoring system to keep track of improvement works well with...

    How Does an APA 7 Go Down to a 6?

    That match it correct according to the charts, you played a skill level 6, which is a 5/4 race (the 7 must win 5 games and the 6 must win 4 games). If you (as a 7) played a skill level 2, you would need to win 7 games and the skill level 2 would need to win 2 games.

    How Does an APA 7 Go Down to a 6?

    I am fairly certain all APA (CPA) leagues use the same handicap system. you can look at the races for skill levels here: https://poolplayers.com/equalizer/ It clearly shows that a skill level 2 playing a skill level 7 is a 7 to 2 race. A 7 playing a 3 is 6/2 race, a 7 playing a 4 is a 5/2...

    How Does an APA 7 Go Down to a 6?

    A 7 vs 2 in APA is a race to 7 with the 2 getting 5 games on the wire. you are correct if that 7 makes one mistake that puts the 2 on the hill and earns the team a point. 95% of the time the 7 would have to beat themselves (early 8 or scratch 8) in order to lose to a 2.

    How Does an APA 7 Go Down to a 6?

    Because teams have maximum skill levels that they can play. So being over ranked really hurts the whole team. Its not about winning against your opponent., its being able to field a full team without having to forfeit matches because your "3" didn't show up tonight.

    Mosconi Cup Stream

    The stream on my apple TV is freezing every 2 -3 minutes again today. Switched to Xbox and have not had a single problem. It really must be an app issue with the apple TV.

    Mosconi Cup Stream

    I talked to a couple of people who watched the stream and it seems its an apple TV issue. Everyone I talked to that used apple tv complained about the same issues I was having. I am going to have my xbox ready today just in case I have issues with the apple TV.

    Anybody else not getting sound from DAZN stream?

    I just posted in another thread on the streaming sub-forum. I had issues all day with DAZN cutting out and audio out of sync. Going to reboot / update my apple TV tonight to see if its any better for tomorrow.

    Mosconi Cup Stream

    I am watched the DAZN stream on my apple TV and it was a really bad experience. Stream kept cutting out every 2 or 3 minutes and I would have to go to the menu and restart the stream for it to pick back up. Numerous times it automatically just rewinded itself a couple hours and started playing...

    Cyclop balls cracking

    When they first came out there was some reports of balls cracking if they were played with a LOT. It seems they fixed this on later "runs" of the balls. Cyclops is no longer in business (at least in the US), so these balls will eventually fade into oblivion.

    Aramith Pro Cup cue ball improved/changed? When?

    Knowing this new information, I am now 95% sure I got an old stock ball from the place I ordered it from (Omega Billiards). The ball I got is defiantly got the yellowish tint to it and like I said earlier, is terrible for retaining chalk marks.

    Never Again Having a Cue / Shaft / Case Shipped USPS

    I have been having the same issue. Honestly no one service has been better than the any of them. USPS tracking ghosts you and randomly shows up two weeks late. I have had multiple things shipped UPS2nd day air show up weeks later as well. The tracking keeps saying out for delivery then around...

    Wrinkles in my Simonis

    I am not a table mechanic, but I can tell you what works great on my table with simonis 860 cloth. Here is my routine for keeping my table clean: About once a week I give it a quick vacuum with a non rotating brush. About once a month (or more often if played on a lot) I get really hot...

    Can I just leave my personal cue in an upright wall cue rack (instead of in a case)?

    All of my house cues have been sitting like this for years. My playing cue ends up laying on the table when I am done playing 95% of the time.

    Not All Linen Wraps Are Alike

    I have used Irish Linen my entire life and never thought I would switch, but I when trying different CF shafts I used a friends Predator cue that had a leather wrap on it and fell in love. Instead of just getting a CF shaft, I ended up buying a whole new predator cue.

    If a Billiard Supply site were scamming customers, they would be shut down, right?

    Looks very suspicious to me. Looks like a site rip of and older distributors catalog. The site doesn't have any of the newer products listed on it and includes things that have been discontinued for a long time.

    This stuff works amazingly well on cleaning and polishing balls

    I was not asking about the difference between the cleaner and restorer product. I was asking about the two different labels on just the cleaner product. One says specifically for phenolic balls and the other label doesn't mention that.

    Aramith Pro Cup cue ball improved/changed? When?

    I just purchased a Aramith measles ball from a big online pool supply place. Unfortunately the ball showed up with no packaging. So I am just going on the reputation of the site that I got a genuine aramith ball. I will say the ball I got is terrible for chalk marks and they don't come clean...

    Technique for trimming a cue tip flush with the ferrule

    I'll have to try the Lennox blades. I am new to using a lathe and by far the hardest part is trying to trim the tip flush. I been really struggling with it. I have tried Dewalt blades, stanley and Irwinn without any consistency. I just can't get them to want to cut and when I do, they dig in at...
