Modern commentary might work if the commentators had some close connection to the match, tournament and/or players. Otherwise I agree with Fatboy. Scoring graphics would be welcomed.

Commentary not important if there’s existing ambient background sounds. If the tracks are completely silent then dubbed over commentary would be good.

Please put me down for a break and run of 15 today. Will this be the year I break 16? Do not know. GC5 TE Fargo unknown

Where is the time going, it seems like the 5 and 6 just came out. The 7 looks good, much more appealing than the 6. Unsure about removing the ball box in lieu of those metal grill racks though. Time will tell how robust they are.

‘Sharking’ is just another word for unsportsmanlike conduct and unprofessional behavior. Respect your opponent’s time at the table. The profressionals understand this.

You guys make me wish I got a classic GC with 5” instead of the 4.5” pro cut that came with the GCV TE. Anything less than pro cut 4.5” seems masochistic no matter the game. The 4.5s helped tighten up my game, but sometimes it would be nice to just loosen up and runs some balls without my ass...

Maybe shoes, gloves and towels. Funny that pool players have been known to obsess over these things too. Pool is totally mental. It’s the hobby for tinkerers.

I simply cannot resist replying to chalk threads. I used Pyro (blue) on green Simonis 860. Any chalk marks were faint. V10 on same cloth, barely noticable. Cleans easily with Simonis X1 (another controversial product) and my cloth has never seen a drop of water or soap in nearly 6 years of...

Bowling shirts likely started for team leagues back in the day. Loose fitting, short sleeved, untucked, but still looked tidy. All were positives for practicality and appearance. And they promoted team pride. Pool jerseys for individual players should be left to the pros in pro tournaments...

Only cool thing about the Sardo rack relates to a t-shirt my wife got me. She had no idea what the image was and neither did I until finding it was the Sardo rack blueprint patent diagram. I get more comments from passerbys on that shirt than any other. I find noise issues with Delta racks...

Two of me don’t take pool room chalk. The majority are usually drilled clean through with an auger. The third me used to show early scrounging for the best pieces and hoarded them. But I would never ever keep them. This personality found a Pyro lying around like it was part of an easter egg...

There are some great photos of Danny on the web spanning his life. Wish I could have met him. He will be missed.

My ability to see whether a measles ball is spinng or sliding after contact from 50 feet away or on a telecast is marginal. At best. From 2 feet away? Yes.

Wagering with your freinds or a group of known regulars, fine. Playng for money (or anything for that matter) with some rando in a bar is an incredibly bad idea in my book. Truly a risk filled recipe for disaster. Even if you’re the better player you’re going to lose money anway appeasing...

Coincidentally the brochure in post #4 is from an establishment once called Edison Billiard and Cycle. I was surprised and happy to find they still exist but dropped the ‘Cycle’. Established 1963 https://www.edisonbilliard.com/

Agree. My belief is the basic general premise is the more expensive the set, the more hits they can take and continue to roll true in the long term.

My Bronze set looks and plays pretty good. The CB seems to squirt/swereve more than I like, but it’s about the same as an Aramith Premier CB.

You are describing the set they should have made when they went with the TV color set way back when. In my opinion that set didn’t fully accomplish what it was designed to do except make the 3-4-5 balls difficult to distinguish. And the 11-12-13? Forget it. They made a wrong turn and...

The Jewett/SVB match is available to view. 👍🏼

All or nothing. Either keep them sealed permanently in the chance someone someday comes looking for the exact set and money is no object. They may be worth something when Aramith celebrates their 200th birthday in 2124. In the meantime I’d use and enjoy them.
