V10 is currently only available in the light green. I hope they’ll eventually offer it in the Pyro blue color, but not as of yet.

Just got a UPS email that my limited edition boxed set is due to arrive to me tomorrow, sent directly from Simonis - one of Aramith’s largest US dealers / distributors.

IMO, in a tournament match, it’s very poor pool etiquette to be away from table at the jukebox while your opponent is at the table shooting. You should be seated in a chair close to the table, observing quietly until it is your turn. Once it is your turn, that would be the appropriate time to...

I’ve tried CBL before a few years ago, with mixed success. I’m giving it another try again, in a practice session. The one thing I have noticed, when I miss a shot, because I am so focused on the cue ball and the shaft throughout the complete follow-through, I’m not seeing the ball go in the...

All the pool / snooker rooms shown in the movie are absolutely immaculate. I found it hard to tell from watching the show as to which is more popular over there, pool or snooker? Unless you are caught up in an extremely slow developing love story, instead of watching the nearly 20 hours, just...

Even at the pro level, some of them may prefer inside over outside, draw over follow, etc., so there would be some differences in the way they choose to run out any given rack.

I’ve found that a large washer, 1 inch or 1-1/2 inch diameter, cut in half, works really well. Just slowly slide it up with your index fingertip until it touches the ball, then replacing the ball the same way.

Not much different than 9-ball with the top pro players, assuming they have a makeable shot after the break.

Unlikely she would have refused a fist pump over a handshake. These days they are basically the same thing, but a hug is completely different.

I was thinking from what I heard on the video (they were both out of sight of the camera) that is indeed what most likely happened.

I fast forwarded through the 21 total episodes to catch the pool and snooker scenes. I was impressed that the snooker tournament scenes towards the end of the movie were quite accurate in terms of the player’s form, the shots, the scoring and the strategy. The only thing I caught as not being...

My friend picked up an old used Kim Steel 9-foot table at an excellent price, but while trying to level it, he must’ve torqued up the slate leveler screws too tight and completely busted the center piece of slate. Does anyone know where he might be able to find a replacement center slate or a...

Playing in tournaments constantly for the past month plus, I can’t help but think 13 year old Savannah is living a very unbalanced life for a 13 year old. I assume it’s by her choice, but it seems like her parents could say no to her? Does anyone else think this is a little strange?

Practicing on a table without side pockets I would think would be very good for an already skilled player to improve their position play and leaving the correct angles in their patterns.

I agree that cue ball last works great for me when playing on a 7 foot table and on shots where the cue ball is <3 feet from the object ball. Last year I ran 110 balls on a 7’ Diamond practicing 14.1 focused on cue ball last, whereas it’s been 15+ years since I’ve run more than 50 balls on a 9...

What he said. I’ve heard that very same advice / opinion from a pro player.

A number of diamond table dealers keep tables on order, so if you buy through one of them as opposed to directly through Diamond, you might be able to get one considerably sooner, 3–4 months or even less if you get lucky.

So is it worth continuing to watch? I’ve now watched 4 episodes - a little more pool scenes in the 4th episode. The pool and snooker clubs in the movie look very nice, except that they use cheap plastic racks. As a room owner / operator, I notice little stuff like that.

Agreed, it’s been 2+ months since my Aramith supplier told me they were expecting to receive them within in the next few weeks to fill my order. I may call again today for an update.
