I just tried the shot you suggested (shooting from 7 diamonds away) and it's actually hard to bridge from there. That said, on my 9' diamond I can get around 18-20 diamonds of draw, with a slightly elevated cue due to the rail. My cloth is maybe 4 years old, but the balls are pretty clean. I...

It sounds like the OB is at/near the pocket. So, drawing from 7 diamonds away, and then back, is around 15 diamonds of draw (back position below). It sounds like you are shooting from around the side pocket [4 diamonds from 1 ball]? That's only a 3 diamond difference, so you are drawing 12...

Q: Just to understand what you're getting and what you want, what number reflects your draw amount on this shot [shooting the 8 one diamond away]? And where do you want to end up? For example, if you can consistently shoot the 8 (from one diamond away) and draw to the short rail and back to...

Yes. Sanjin called by Marcel [vs SVB]. @17:10

If you play a lot of straight pool, then go for 4.75". Otherwise, I think 4.5 will do you fine. It's not too hard for rotation games or 8-ball. But it really limits runs for straight. If you call diamond, I would bet that tell you they sell 4.5" [pro cut] significantly more than bigger...

Mine weight .46 and .53 oz. [Aramith 100 balls in background :)] -td

If you don't get a response, I'll weigh them when I get home in a few hours. They are def pretty light. -td

hahah! I use a "shark" - no better name for a pool table cleaner! The SHARK! -td

For those interested: Aramith 100's have a really nice presentation. Box is heavy duty and the latching mechanism is cool! The Simonis on the lid is a nice touch. We played with one set of the Aramith 100's for a couple hours last night. It's no surprise that the balls play great. I...

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't see it in the WPA rules. Do you know where that's stated for pro tourneys? I think amateur/BCA may have it, though.

Q: which thread are you referring to. I missed it. I don't know if/when the rules changes, but I thought there used to be a minimum cue length. I think it still applies to amateur play but I didn't see it in the WPA rules. I've never seen a pro tournament where a ball was jumped with just...

Thanks! Great interview!

Cool! I designed a few versions, and have one with a transport box and all the goodies. The basic one includes multiple magnets to adjust the pull force and spacers to adjust the chalk height as it ages. Here’s the basic version: https://overthought3d.etsy.com/listing/1492008185

Bob, here's one I designed. 3D printed. It works right side up and upside down for template racks. Super light. Full size and 1/4 size. And the magnetic pocket disc works the same way. I also realized that most people use their chalk to mark balls in league/casual play. So I integrated a...

On youtube, playing at .25 speed, it appears that there is a one-two contact sound, which to mean means something did get hit first. It looks like the 5, but the frame rate is too low to tell. Even with the video [recorded in normal motion and this frame rate], I'd probably give it to the...

Yeah, maybe a nit, but I bet she won't ever do that again. Good to learn that lesson when you have decades of pool to play [and not learn it in the finals of a tourney when the ref calls it!]. -td

I think it's kinda cool to watch SVB on a stream and see his opponent using an SVB cuetec cue of some sort. -td

I've heard on a number of the ppv streams I've bought (from the organizer(s)/commentators) that Fedor asks for permission to stream and then, usually only streams matches where he is not on the main table. He also tries cross-promote the main stream. IMO, he's actively trying to IMPROVE the...

Plays they same. Not better. Not worse. You don't need to get a whole cue. Just the shaft you like. [it's an endmass thing]. -> I won a cuetec cue in a raffle and liked the shaft. I got the same shaft for my normal playing butt. They play exactly the same. -td

He's been playing in a tourney at Emerald Biliardsthis weekend. He did just OK in the one-ball one pocket. Lost in the 2nd round to Fedor. He just finished his run in the main one pocket event tonight (Friday). Finished 5-6. He played pretty well, lost in the 4th round on the winner's side...
