It took a few years to sort it out, but it ended up a master stroke by Mike. Ban CTE from the main forum and move it to the aiming forum. Then ban those who can't stop with the CTE hysteria from posting in the aiming forum. The new forum software allowed that to happen. I think the aiming...

It's been more than two weeks since the last post here... not even a CTE testimonial. I'm a little verklempt. I need a minute. :cry:

The balls will not throw consistently. I found that balls that threw 1 inch initially later threw 4 or 5 inches after a couple hours of play when using Novus 1. Maybe that's why your game sucks? It's like playing with gaffed balls. :)

Novas 1 is really bad for play.

Throw can change dramatically if you don't use a cleaner made for billiard balls.

I hope you understand my point.

I think practice strokes significantly increase the time you have to be bent over in shooting position. Frankly, I don't think they are usually necessary. I get down on a shot and usually take a couple short waggles like an inch or two, if that. I know it is against most standard practices to...

I bought a new car and the manual says to use 10W30 motor oil. Has anybody tried using something made for a completely different purpose instead? I was thinking about using furniture polish mixed well with bacon fat. Or, how about hydraulic fluid thickened with tar? There must be a dozen...

I voted 1-3 easy drill, but it is not easy. I can only do it now with some consistency because I practiced it.

Mosconi and Crane both hold the record of 309 on a 10' table. It seems to me the pockets on those old tables were pretty tight, but I don't recall exactly where I read that. Does anybody here know?

Sometimes people lose interest if they believe a point is moot. It would be interesting to know if they support Matchroom changing the color back to orange or if they prefer to leave it as is.

lol. No, he's not in jail, unless you consider living in LA incarceration.

Fatboy forecast is 2026.

I have it on good authority that all is well in Fatboy World He is busy perfecting his CTE skills 😉

He wouldn't sell a single one without royalties going to Brunswick, at a minimum.

I don't know Michael Jordan said the difference between the good players and the great ones is fundamentals

Has MMA been around long enough to really know that? I don't know anything about it so I suppose there could be good evidence.

Sorry, call me a wuss but MMA is just a little too brutal for my liking

If you use the wrong cleaner throw on a ball can change from 1" or 2" of throw to 5" of throw over 6 diamonds after only about 25 shots. I imagine a dirty table is going to play about the same over the course of the evening.

Years ago I was using a non standard cleaning solution based on some discussion at AZ and found that it screwed up the throw properties of the balls. I did a little experiment that doctor Dave has somewhere. Anyway I replaced all of the pads on my machine and only use cleaners specifically...
