You twisted my comment intentionally to imply I didn’t care about pool. You do that kind of thing all the time — and schoolyard insults are a specialty of yours too. Don’t start that sir. Double standard on the simple question I see, but why should I be surprised lol

Lots of poolrooms host tournaments and not all their tables are the same throughout the room — in fact especially if they have one “feature” table. It is quite possible the specs on that feature table are in fact different than the bulk of the tables out on the main floor.

Mr twister — I care about pool. Other sports not so much. Btw, you did not answer my SIMPLE QUESTION Mr twister.

I don’t care about other sports in this regard. So pick yes/no/maybe I don’t know or I don’t care. My answer was actually simple — pool does not have concrete specs. What other sport doesn’t have concrete specs?

I thought it was for the big tournament Mem Day weekend/week. Nothing to do with Chohan/SVB — that is at Griff’s I believe, which is already non smoking. Interesting — right in that article the author mentions, “There aren’t even standard rules and regulations from one tournament to the next.”

Most sports have clearly defined specs -- pool not so much. I just looked at WPA and it says 4-1/2" to 4-5/8" corner pockets under their : "Recommended Equipment Specifications" I added the quotation marks -- but the word "recommended" is right there in the heading. It also says, "At its sole...

It's the Derby -- smaller pockets on all tables obviously was a problem. Smaller pockets on the TV table was NOT a problem, and probably made those featured matches more interesting -- and more salable for Pat. I would to guess without asking them, that both Greg Sullivan and Pat Fleming, as...

There is a back way around the train crossing!

Best thing said in this entire thread!!

...but the arena table is definitely geared to matches featuring pros, so why not keep it tighter? If the pros complained about that one being too tight, I would listen to their input FOR SURE -- but amateurs complaining they are too tight, not so much :LOL: :LOL: Has anyone heard of any pros...

"All About Pool" I associate with Dawn Hopkins -- maybe she took it over?? She also ran a New England pool tour that name, which was a precursor in a way to Zuglan's Josh Tour. I am certain I have some paper copies of that one, because it was local to me.

Tap, tap! Moving the Derby to an entirely different City would not just be an issue with the tables (that might be the least of it!). Look at how much of the nuts and bolts of the administration of the operation is done by local Diamond employees and local long time helpers. Moving a long...

However, is that really true? I always heard that because of the TV lighting, that table plays warmer and drier than the other tables anyway -- more like new cloth (or newer cloth, anyway). Given the way those conditions tend to make a table play a little looser, I wonder if 4-1/4" on the TV...

...and I photographed him in 2016, so yes, he was there for sure :)

Atlarge you are super human to be able to track that and have it all wrapped up that fast!! Thank you!

Thanks again for these — amazing effort and much appreciated sir!!!

Thank you -- the way the pace of the games ramped up after day 1 was impressive. And I have heard people were saying Fedor was slow to shoot! But when you run out like he did, the games go fast. A lot of firepower Fedor has for sure, and he certainly seems to be "learning the game" lol.

Well Matchroom already has threatened players, and intentionally scheduled events opposite those they wished to undermine. Maybe it is not Predator they are targeting, but they sure seem to be doing some targeting -- Mark Griffin's events and Pat Fleming's also. It is an age old tactic of...

I agree -- so many of the old timers Pat used as part time commentators are no longer with us. Not to mention regular commentators like Grady Mathews. No offense to Mark Wilson, but geez the personality bar got set so pretty damn high in the early years, it is tough for anyone to follow. Pretty...

Me too -- great to see an important product like Accustats move to someone else who loves pool and who also has a track record of broad and unselfish support for our sport!!! Great move!!!
