    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    I’ve been in action there. They have three 9’ tables, the best one is in the back room. Even though they don’t smoke there anymore, it still seems like a smoky dumpy room.

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    I’ve been to Cue Time twice. Got good action once. The second time I was there I think they had removed a few of the 9’ tables.

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    When I’m in town(Nashville) I’ve driven to Bowling Green and Louisville for a change of pace from JOB.

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    What I've found is that 1P will take your 8 ball game up 2 or 3 notches. The amount of multi rail banks and kicks needed in 1P, can directly apply to 8 ball. I'm not super familiar with 14.1 but I assume those shots rarely come up in straight pool.

    25% Off Aramith Black or Super Aramith Pro

    The 5 is orange in the TV set🤣 The only balls I hate more than the Blacks is the goofy color Dynasphere Platinum

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    When I was younger I never liked 14.1 and hated 1P. In my 40’s I started getting burned out playing 8/9 ball and starting playing some 1P but still hated 14.1 Now it’s almost all 1P with an occasional 8/9/10 ball tournament when I’m out of town and can’t find 1P action. I now make too many...

    There’s a senior center at Del Web in Sun City that has some 3C tables and 9’ers. I played Frank Almanza some 1P there. Tres also goes there for 3C.

    Break Stats -- 2024 International 9-Ball Open, November 2024

    That pic looks 4 1/4 or 4 3/8 to me. Definitely smaller than Diamond spec 4.5”

    Diamond Ball Return...??

    The new room in Palm Beach Gardens has 9’ smart tables. Playing 1P is a pain when waiting on the ball return to send you down the pocketed balls.

    Diamond Ball Return...??

    OMG, the ball return is hideously slow on the smart tables

    Dynasphere Gold

    I like the look of centennial balls but for some reason the 4 and 6 balls, and to a lessor extent the 2 and 7, always seem to be smaller than the rest of them. I’ve got a used set I’ll sell you🤣 I’ve measured them in rooms all across the country. Yes I know some of the sets are old. Don’t get me...

    DIY Pool Table Light

    I was at the Racks in Sanford a while back when they were installing new grey cloth. Some tables looked like they had gold cloth, some looked grey. It was weird. My brother-in-law had grey cloth installed and it looks gold to me, my wife said, what's wrong with you, its grey. LOL

    Dynasphere Gold

    Cue club in Vegas uses the Platinum balls. I love the design, but the colors are horrible. I can't tell you how many times I played position or shot the wrong ball practicing rotation.

    Predator Challenge of Champions. Fedor vs Filler vs Biado

    If you’re a 700 and can’t spank the hell out of the ghost then you have no business being ranked that high. Big difference though between 4.5” pockets and 4”. At 4” I would think a 740 would trash the ghost.

    Veterans...Thank you~!

    Thank You to everyone for your kind words. I was in the Army from 1974-1977 so I thankfully missed Vietnam. Sometimes I feel guilty when people thank me for my service because I was not in a war or shot at, although that could have happened at any time. Looking back, the Army was good for me. It...

    Veterans...Thank you~!

    I just recently learned that Finland gave up land to Russia in the 40's. Russia continues to be a world problem.
