For some reason I seem to recall something about WPBA players not being allowed on streams/telecasts outside of WPBA events for a while. Anyone recall this? As for Accustats, they have archives of events they've covered. While some women do enter some events, like the US Open for example, the...

Good points, and illustrates one of the issues with a chess clock in one rack games. And One Pocket probably has many of the issues of using a chess clock as straight pool does. There are numerous problems with using a chess clock for straight pool.

I'm not sure the WPA had much to do with the scheduling other than if you are promoting an event under their sanctioning (i.e. a world championship) your dates are protected from them sanctioning another event at the same time. I'd imagine it was Manny who chose the dates. I got the impression...

Other - accept it. If it was a choke, no sense for me to run over to another table and shoot it again over and over. I'm just gonna make it every time and get real frustrated at not making it under pressure. Now, if it was a shot I could make but have been struggling with, I'll practice it at...

Interesting factoid - the jump cue was discovered by accident by a home table owner that cut down a house cue for those occasions when the basement pole was in the way. One day he had to jack up on a shot to avoid the pole, the cue ball went airborne and he missed the object ball entirely...

Yeah, but do you have a pole like that two feet from the side rail? :grin-square:

Thanks for pointing that out. I was so focused on the scratch I confess the path of the other ball never even caught my attention. :embarrassed2::thumbup:

Not convinced it is entirely a question of the table being level. On the lag the CB went right immediately upon coming off the rail which makes me doubt it's the balls. It did look as though it was curving toward the hole on the way back up table though. Can't say that it was a bad rail or she...

No problem, I was just being a brat. ;) Give 'em a call and I'm sure they'll take care of you.

Took me about five seconds to type diamondbilliards.com and hit enter. http://diamondbilliards.com/index.php/table-contact-info

I notice that fast players often mention how annoying it is playing a slow player but rarely is the opposite true - I can't remember a slow player getting aggravated because his opponent played too fast, LOL. I used to get more irritated by slow play until Oscar Dominguez said something to me...

Yep, it all depends on which style is more natural to you.

We did have a Manny Pacquiao here awhile back. Problem was it was Kevin Trudeau. :rolleyes:

Most of the cleaning regimens have already been discussed. I'll just add to use a break cloth and get in the habit of racking by placing the triangle in the rack area and filling it up rather than filling it up against the foot rail then rolling the balls/rack into position. When you are just...

This. I've tried both and for me it's no comparison playability-wise,,,get the Tasc.

Great! Please keep us posted in this thread about the plans for the live stream.

Yep, the Aramith T 4 ball seems more salmon colored than the straight pink Cent 4 ball. Not terribly different though. Are all the other ball colors the same for each set (the 5 balls look like a match)? And how about the match between the two 12 balls and the 4 & 12 balls in each set i.e...

Well Paul, obviously you're not alone in that experience. Most events seem to be single set finals, not DE.

Is that because they do not require recalibrating the rails?

Not sure I get this. Wouldn't you still be better off trying to stay on the winners side as long as possible?
