Just following. I like straight pool so messaged Brunswick to see if 5 inch pockets was an option. I read that wasn't a normal offering

I actually own the match, but I would have to put it in a vcr. One of these days I will convert the vhs tapes. Anyway, there was a controversy in the Hopkins vs Howard match finals, do you remember what it was? Maybe it was all ball fouls, which Howard wasn't used to. I can't remember, but...

I wouldn't go to that trouble, at least if the goal is to sell more. I think people are going to order ones that just appeal to them, and most of the orders I think will be from people who lived that era. My suggestion to try and sell more and make them more appealing, is to list the accustats...

Oh, I agree. I have posted several videos. That one guy ticked me off with his missing posts from John Schmidt saying he ran 300. I am not sure how that helps anyone, but I guess he just liked having a chat with him. I admit to having trouble letting it go. He hasn't posted anything stupid...

69 last night. Just testing the waters here on posting again. Last time was a disaster, or maybe some people just don't want to see videos that aren't 100 + runs. Always learning in this game. I think for me, much better to use Top for break shots whenever possible. Pocket the ball more...

I don't know if they sell, but a pack of 4 popped up on Facebook Marketplace for $350. The ad said they were going for $60+ on Ebay, so looked that up. They are listed for like $80 each there. It is hard to imagine these are actually selling for these prices. Laugh. That said, for a one...

I hear you. I am going with 8 lb pad and 100 density carpet. Best I have seen. I will let you know how it goes. Installed April 7th. That doesn't work, going to add some super thick rubber mats recommended on here. Good luck. Brian

Congrats. I take it these were not in the catalog? Which ones? Yes, when he gets straight pool copied from back then, I plan to get several. You were probably in the chat the other night and he copied them for you, I bet.

Ok, this was more intended for people who know about last year's event. Stay tuned. Event is not posted besides saying that it is happening. I was just happy to see the announcement

Excited about this. I think I am going to see if I can play this time. I just watched last year. https://www.intlopen.com/

Interesting. I think I have those same ones. You can see them in the video above. The carpet underneath is separating and probably because I didn't tape them down, they are also moving. They worked really well for a while, but not anymore.

Yes, that was my initial though. The Evolution flooring mentioned above, but talking the sales guy, he said that is designed to go on a hard surface, so do like you did and just rip out the carpet and pad and lay it down, or I can try carpet and pad and if that doesn't work, then the comfort...

Oh, and I have wore shoes playing and cushioned slippers, etc. Nothing has fixed my problem. A cure would be great, but I am just looking to be as comfortable as I can and playing in socks is more comfortable. This is what the sales guy said to use. Each mat is 23 lbs each, so shouldn't...

Thanks. Here is what I have but it is falling apart. Same idea I think. I think I will get carpet like I mentioned and have these mats in mind if it doesn't work out as well as I want. I will contact that rubber cal place and talk to them, so thanks for the link.

I wear Brooks. My feet get sore regardless. I have had the surgery, steroid shots, specialized arch supports, electricity, night braces and not sure what all else. Mine isn't like an intense pain, it just gets sore quicker and I always feel like there is a rubber band where the fascia tissue...

I have plantar fascitis and flat feet, so my feet get sore. I probably am just going to get some 1/2 inch pad and thickest nice carpet over it, but was wondering about memory foam. Anyone used memory foam for their pool room? Is that doable? I can think of some possible negatives, but not...

I just watched rack 2 and looked pretty good to me, but I think when you shot the 8 (maybe 6), you should have had the cueball travel short rail, end rail side rail, to the middle of the table and then shot one of the 2 balls on either side of the rack and broke up the cluster. You had that 15...

Smart to start with small goals and work up. My first goal was 50 and then 75 and then 100. Only gotten 113 once, even though I would say I play better than I did a year ago when I did it. Keep working at it. Maybe post videos and people can try and help. Brian

There really is a lot for this. I have instruction from Grady, Rempe, Sigel, Fleming and probably my favorite, Niels. Niels has several good videos. I would say this is feel more than anything though. A lot of breakshots you can use draw or follow and hit softer or harder. Anyway, hope this...

You can do it. maybe start taping and post on here and we can give feedback? If you can run 50, you can run 100. I finally ran 100 last year. Ran 113. Highest run since then has been 86. I am 54 now. Without watching, my only advice is to play within yourself. I can't crush break shots...
