!Smorgass Bored's wife lives here in New Orleans and I know Barbara appreciates all of your posts, honoring Doug as one of AZ Billiard's favorite members. He was a good friend to me and a special kind of guy that I know I won't ever forget. JoeyA

Not necessarily Donny. The balls don't always freeze in a template rack, unless the racker makes an attempt to insure they are frozen. A breaker or his opponent could also tilt the rack, move the rack around the spot and in essence create more advantages and disadvantages AND...

Of course, you are SPOT ON! JoeyA

THIS! No more pattern racking. No more match delay with supposed racking problems. No more ball gap selection. No more rack tilting. No more distractions to other players when arguments ensue about racking objections. No more soft breaks. What is the consensus of opinion on the following...

That is a lot of tables to keep up with imo but we will take this under consideration. If the players are required to get the balls and template on the table, I too, think the racker could handle 6-8 tables. Thanks for the suggestion. JoeyA

HAHA! JoeyA

I'm thinking that the break speed will just has to be OVER a certain speed and anywhere in the kitchen and over that certain speed will be fine. May have to test various apps to see which ones will work best. Still discussing. Good points. But like others have mentioned, racking with a...

EXACTLY! JoeyA

I mentioned in my first post that a template rack would be used if we have volunteer rackers. Yes, cell phones can record break speeds. Yes, it would be great if the rackers received a small compensation as Bob Jewett suggested. Yes, golf has MANY amateur enthusiasts who volunteer at...

Okay, this is a thread to potentially reduce the friction caused in racking. The question is how many of you would be interested in volunteering to rack 9 ball at the Derby City Classic or the US Open. There would be some brief training involved and a protocol that would need to be...

You're welcome. Doug's wife Barbara, lives in the New Orleans area and I think she may still visit the forum from time to time. JoeyA

Doug would have appreciated your prank. :thumbup: JoeyA

That was it RogerO! The guy's name was Bob and the local patrons of the sports bar would no longer call him Bob. I'd like to meet that Bob one day just to share a laugh. JoeyA

My other favorite story about Doug was how he gambled with a guy and their names were the stakes. Doug told the story and after he passed, I called the sports bar where the story was alleged to having occurred and the manager or owner at that time confirmed the story and how no one would call...

Doug, I know you aren't around anymore except in the hearts of those who knew you and loved you. You were one of the most unique guys I ever met in my life and I will always remember you. But I thought that perhaps there are some new AZBers who might like to hear one of your many, great...

Sign me up. JoeyA

Get out the same way you got in. My favorite, probably already mentioned by me but....."Belly-up to the table like a man." :D JoeyA

Personally thinking, if enough people demand it, they will make it. JoeyA

So, is this an endorsement of the (LD) REVO shaft? ;-) Ok, j/k but which shaft do you play with most often? JoeyA

I've seen improvements by league players using REVO shafts as well. I've also noticed an uptick by professional players moving toward REVO or talking about moving to REVO. If Predator Cues moves to a 30" shaft, I believe there will be even more people going to REVO. (BTW, not everyone wants...
