    Matchroom 9 ball break question..

    I agree. Where the two is racked determines whether they try to go up table or down table, while still making the one. That however, still has many variables. Which is another reason this break format is the best, so far. It’s the next logical step after making the one and trying to make the...

    SJM Final Thoughts on the 2023 US Open

    As it should be. IMO, 4” pockets are fine for these “Matchroom Majors”. Given a little time, it will be like the break. Everyone will get better at solving the difficulty.

    How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

    MatchRoom's response to the WPA player sanctions:

    If MR removed the top 10 Fargo rated from their events, I would still watch and be impressed. I would hate to lose them but if they became unknowns, I would know no difference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MatchRoom's response to the WPA player sanctions:

    This is an odd statement and I hope I can say it without stirring the pot, too much. Matchroom doesn’t need the best players in the world to produce the best pocket billiards production, in the world. WWE didn’t have the best wrestlers in the world but their wrestlers made a lot more money than...

    Any pool instructors in Minnesota?

    Josh Burbul, Demetrius’ friend and road partner, also does lessons. From my experiences with him, he is a pleasant personality and a 700+ Fargo. I believe Josh does short sessions addressing specific issues of your choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you know anyone that has been banned from a pool room?

    Yep. I know people who have been banned from pool halls, bars, grocery stores, airlines, hotels, restaurants and massage parlors. I know one person who has been banned from two of the previously mentioned entities. But when it comes down to your inquiry, the only reason a person, that I know...

    Tip for Predator 314-3?

    I am also a LePro guy. I have two 314- 2, with LePro tips, and they play great! LePro is my recommendation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Value of McDermott D7 please.

    With no backstory on the cue, I would guess it’s value between $225 and $325. It looks to be in good shape but the D7 isn’t one of the most sought. Great cue for $225, IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Jump Cue Tip Shape

    Definitely not a fan of flattened tip for a jump cue. Nickel is my preferred. Not that it pertains to this thread but I’m not a fan of flat for a break cue either. I understand it, more for breaks, but still not a fan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Brunswick cue info

    FWIW, I agree. I have doubts about the pictured cue being a Brunswick. To me, the shaft doesn’t look like an original shaft either. It’s definitely an interesting cue. Can you post a pic of the entire butt? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OB cues shut down?

    I never know if I have attached pics correctly but I will trade this OB shaft 3/8-10 for a 314-2 shaft with same thread. We both pay shipping and just trade. Let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Why do some pool halls enforce the use of break pads?

    I have never played where break cloths are required. They are available in one room where I play but I have rarely seen them used. The only time I feel they are beneficial, is when practicing jumps on a public table. Not because I think it ruins the table but because many players think it looks...

    Fatboy Orange 5

    Maybe Matchroom chose to make a simple change in ball colors, to give the complainers something to complain about, while they got their tournament game straightened out. A little misdirection to keep their name in the conversation, until they figured out the other logistics. Just a thought but...

    Predator Aerorack

    I’ve used one. It works a lot like all of the triangle racks. Not worse but definitely not better. Haven’t had the chance to see one age yet but guess it would give you a good rack long enough for the next great rack to come out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
