Can anyone here get 8' of draw from 8' feet away with a 12.5mm cue? Top level snooker players and pool players can. I keep telling people the stiffness of my shaft means more power but they don't believe me and tell me to put my underpants back on.

Print 20 of these out and tape them together and drape them over the table to the floor

Eh, I lost interest at this point. Going to go over to reddit and read the shitshow review of Red Door Den's "Training Weekend" again.

All I found is something about putting tape over your tip. I gotta know what this is. For every shot, you need to put tape on the table in line with the shot, then run it all they way over the cushions onto the floor and then you walk up to the table in a line to...keep the shot in line?

Nothing they've said about it indicates it's any kind of a training type thing. Actually kind of the opposite - they want to expand they market so you can play even if you can't sink a ball. You run over a target and get points that way. Their aim is 'gamification' not 'training'. See the...

The tape is on the cloth, running over the rails and down to the floor?

If the tape is on the floor how is it going to mess up your pool table?

I find it odd that they're rolling this out right at the time that Topgolf is laying off workers and the parent company is "spinning them" off because their sales are in decline and their stock is in steady freefall.

https://venturebeat.com/games/poolhouse-raises-34m-for-gamified-pool-from-the-creators-of-topgolf/ Their 'vision' barely takes pool into an account. It's an activity that helps to sell 'high ticket' food and booze. The main thing is their tech, which is going to project video game like stuff...

They not interested in the billiards training market. This is something shiny to keep you occupied while you wait for your $35 Wagyu burger and curated cocktail to come. From one of the articles - they're going to project stuff onto the table that you can hit for points and stuff. Basically a...

I think that's it, but the backers would have you killed for putting it that way. It's a video game, or augmented reality. Pinball is OLD. This is NEW and AI is probably involved...somehow. But yeah, bonus targets and places where you lose points are projected on the cloth and there's a...

Just got a Rhino 10.5mm tip delivered today after I finally decided to try it. It seemed surprisingly small when I first got it out (that's what she said). And then with a CF shaft and how thin it is it felt very weird in a closed bridge, super slippery and sleek. Played a couple hours with...

To me it sounds like one of those things where they're trying to make it like a video game because the people like the video games and stuff. But ultimately a video game is better at doing video games than pool is, so either it's a novelty and they're not interested in the real thing or they'd...

I think I prefer Blacklight pool...

Let me guess, it's Blacklight Pool??

To paraphrase the Simpsons: "POOL TOURNAMENT: Tasteful Attire Prohibited"

Huh, didn't know that. That's weird.

Right. I mean, what?
