After a full year, I couldn't be happier. Light is awesome! Thanks! Maple! A clear thumb tack. Simple and effective. ;) -td

If you haven't put in your entry to get some free cash - contest #3 is in progress! Also, check out Thorsten's run on contest #2. In an odd turn of events - he hung the second to last ball!! Kinda makes me feel better missing all the other ones, lol. https://youtu.be/7qE8MwN9BjQ -td

C'mon! Mike's just promoting pool. He's not detracting from randyg's or anyone else's accomplishments. Like many here- he works tirelessly as an ambassador for the game we love. Rolling your eyes at Mike is rolling your eyes at a hall-of-famer and decades-long champion of the sport. -td

Tor/Mike actually have a lot of cool videos and tips. You might consider becoming a patron if only to watch a lot of the content Tor has available. There are also a lot of other pool content makers that we should all support! -td

Check out this contest with free entry - Thorsten WINS!!! If you're stuck at home and want to try to win some free cash - check this out. Sponsor is one of Tor's students and wants to promote pool through contests with free entry. This week is $200 (out of his pocket!)...

Turns out, every time I win $40,000 playing pool she asks why I move the decimal point so many places. Go figure. -td

I retook Exam 3 = 49. I questioned the 2nd shot as I barely rubbed the two frozen balls. I gave myself the points though. I missed a number of the relatively easy 4 point shots. I think 60 is possible with some practice on all of these. I actually enjoy this exam more than Exam 1. Go...

After I did the Exam 1, I re-did Exam 3. Somehow I only caught a portion of the video. My score was 52, but I'm not going to (attempt) to submit something that isn't verifiable. But, I know 50+ is definitely doable. -td

Put the little kids to bed and stole some time today to do Exam 1. [had to put another one to bed in the middle of it, ha!] Shot a 74. Definitely need to practice the drills. First time to hit these in a couple years. I totally messed up draw and stun. And the wagon wheel ate my lunch...

Unfortunately, I haven't done E2 yet. Maybe this round. Despite having unlimited quarantine time at home, with 6 kids [and working from home as well] I don't have unlimited free/pool time! doh! -td

I submitted Exam 1 with the 2018 challenge. I may do it again for this one, but it takes so long! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMwZ5bgySeI&feature=youtu.be I went through the list of shots one time before I recorded just to make sure I wasn't taking too long on video setting them up, but...

My first attempt was a 41. I feel like I should have a lot more points. I may try again while the quarantine is on. Also, on #25, it's really hard to shoot for us short people. Reaching to the middle of the table to get a masse working - and with a hanging table light - is kinda hard. Would...

Breaking head on and rubbing your knuckles across the Brunswick plaque and ripping all the skin off your joint. -td

From my friend's FB feed:

+1. Great to relive that era. Awesome video! -td

Jump cues came around in the mid 1990's. Check rec.sport.billiards. There were a lot of variants at the time. Phenolic tips around the same time. Saw a post by Kilby before 2000 regarding phenolic jump tips. FYI, there's a TON of reading pre-AZB. Many of us were contributing to RSB long...

I have no idea. I didn't start this thread. -td

#1) Well, I can't believe this thread has gone on almost 100 pages now. #2) In any event, even if Schmidt's record is in the books with an asterisk - it'll still be in the books. 10 / 20 / 30 / 50 [whatever] years from now, someone will still be able to look back and see his name. Like...
