I suppose I don't "need" it to set up drills, but it was a new toy and I wanted to use it for something, and since I already had the rack area done, I decided to set up some dots for drills. To be clear, I didn't use the template to set up the dots, just the applicator. As I mentioned, I have...

Amazing That shot off the corner of the side pocket to make the 1 ball was ridiculous. I never cease to be amazed at the things Efren does. Johnny

So after having a test install on my table a few months ago, I finally got my Slug Doctor tight rack system. Since the test install on the table is still working great, I didn't feel the need to remove and replace the reinforcement dots, but like any kid I wanted to play with my new toy. So I...

Thanks everybody Thank you for all of the kind words everyone. Ridinda9- I definitely won't be working on the drinking problem tonight. Gotta celebrate. Black-Balled- I will be splitting my free time between worrying about how I am going to pay for this degree, basking in the glow of...

Watching on the Ustream viewer app for Android. Works perfect. Thanks for the stream. Johnny

I would imagine anything on the table would be gone after a microfiber cloth and a vacuum. That's some serious dedication to table maintenance. I wish some of the owners around here cared that much. It's still not that bad a deal, though.14 cents per install for a perfect rack all night. I fully...

To infinity, and beyond... This thread is going to last forever, because every thread killer is going to try to be the last poster in it, thus confirming their title as 'King Thread Killer'. See you all in 12 months and 5000 replies. :-) Johnny

Works great with a normal triangle, too Abe, Thanks for the pictures on how to set it up for 8-ball. Hope this doesn't kill a future 8-ball version of the Slug Doctor. I just thought I'd mention to everyone that I've found that once you have the Slug Doctor on your table, it makes racking...

I have yet to have to replace a single reinforcement dot on my table and I have been using it for at least two months now. The balls are as tight now as the day Abe installed it for me. As for Grace's claims that this is her 'original' product, she actually manages to refute that in her own...

Abe used the Slug Doctor on my table a few months ago and I haven't had any problems with the dots interfering with any shot. I've played 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball and one pocket and have yet to have one ball roll off because of the dots. I also have some obnoxious overhead fluorescent lights...

Thank you everyone who has shared so far. It seems like pool is a game that you can improve in for a lot longer than more physical activities like football or basketball. The shelf life for pool players is similar to golf, where you need your eyes and coordination more than strength or speed, so...

I like that thinking. The goals are more for when I'm practicing alone. And I don't know if I'm 'ready' for Hard Times, but I did play in the First Sunday tournament this month and won my first match, which was pretty cool for my first time there. Made me a lot less intimidated playing those...

Yup, it is in Vegas every year, right around New Year's Eve. His roommates took 2nd last year. I think his team made top 10%, and from what he told me they didn't play that well. His girlfriend actually plays, too. He's a lucky man. Johnny

I've been wrestling with this for awhile now. A friend of mine is as into beer pong as I am in pool. He plays in their $50k World Series every year, and does well. He would like to make a living out of it. We were discussing our respective obsessions and he assumed I would want to make a living...

Fatboy, Great post. I always enjoy reading your posts, as I believe that you bring a unique perspective to the forum based on your position in pool's "inner circle". And I would also like to commend you on making the effort to improve your writing skills, both in terms of clarity of content...

I've been waiting to find a new addition to the signature line. Thanks Ghost. Johnny

Top Notch Bought my first ever custom from Eric a few months ago, and I couldn't be happier with all facets of the transaction. A friend of mine had bought a Sugartree and I got to hit a few balls with it and was quite impressed, as was my roommate. I e-mailed Eric with a description of what...

It's because of threads like these that I only use Triceratops horns for my inlays and ferrule, and Condor feathers for my wrap. I tried using Kryptonite once, but the radiation it gave off started to burn my hand after awhile. I want no part of the ivory police kicking down my door. Johnny

Why limit the fantasy to living players? I like the initial question, and I have a hard time deciding. It would be incredible to have Larry Nevel's stroke, Hillbilly's power break, SVB's 10-ball.break, Efren's ability to move the cue ball through crazy patterns with pinpoint precision, Wu...

Has anyone tried one of these? I know it's relatively new, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on Mike's website about it, or on the thread that he started here to announce it. Anyone know what the taper on the shaft is like? Tip diameter? Stiffness? Is it more forward...
