    Dimple in Phenolic Tip

    Lisa, That is correct. The 3rd generation XBreaker had a slight dimple in the tip. I tried to compare the effects of the dimpled tip with the 2nd generation non dimpled tip and I couldn't credit the dimple with creating an advantage. Keep in mind I'm not certified in the science of tip dimpling...

    TV tournament tables not level?

    Some of you might remember the BCA Pro 9Ball event at the Riviera several years ago where a couple of the Olhausen tables spit pocketed balls back onto the table. Anything hit at more than pocket speed would plop right back out of the pocket. The tables were installed by the local Olhausen...

    Wanting to buy a pool table pendant

    Actually, he had a rather nice selection with him at the Riviera and displayed the jewelry in a display case at his booth along with the new Diamond Ball Cleaner during the BCA. The jewelry might have been made years ago but he was selling it this past May.

    Blue Diamond and NIR Chalk For Sale

    I've tried both and the NIR seems to have a slightly finer "grain" and even better "stickability" than the Blue Diamond. I carry the Blue Diamond in my case and use it regularly and will change over to NIR when it's gone. Keep in mind I play like $hit and my opinions have no scientific basis at...
