    Thoughts on permanent practise markings

    Just use pencil. I marked all the diamond intersections with ordinary 0.5mm mechanical pencil lead 3 years ago when the cloth was then new. The cloth is now maybe a year past needing replacement but the marks are only a little faded. I don't see them unless I look for them. I doubt you'll...

    Pocket hanger ruling?

    As a practical matter, your version is of course also correct, but doesn't state the intent as clearly as the quoted rules. On the table in question, a GC3, jawed balls are just discernably lower than balls sitting on the table surface. The lowest point of the ball is thus below the level...

    Thank you so much for the fast and detailed response. :)

    Pocket hanger ruling?

    Is there a generally accepted ruling on whether the balls are in play when they jam in the pocket but do not fall? The attached picture is a better description than I can write, but the gist is that the 5 and 7 balls wedged against the pocket liner and didn't fall. Are they made balls? Are they...

    Stainless steel buttcap

    My Lucasi came with one. Other than that... I suppose someone can turn some stainless tubing or bar stock to make you one. I would think you will want a cue maker to do it. There's a lot going on with trimming down the butt, trim rings, butt cap rubber, screw in weights... Turning and polishing...

    "Got English?" T-Shirt from Dr. Dave

    No more lies! They find it irresistible. One gal traced her finger over each equation, sounding out the meaning as she read, her eyes burning fiercely. The first gawker, I almost wrote off as just admiring my pecs. "After my own heart," she explained as she pulled her gaze up to meet mine...

    Proper Height to Hang Pool Table Light

    Direct glare should be a consideration. An open bottom conical shade would glare when egg crate diffusers in florescent fixtures might not, for example.

    I heard a theory about how to make masters chalk more like kamui

    It is, if you're holding on to that last scrap or wedge as still usable. [emoji6] Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Importance of Tip Location When Addressing CB?

    Try setting the tip on the cloth as you approach, right on the smiley formed by the bottom curve of the ball. I find it helps me center over the shot. And then address the cue however you like. When you're centered, very little of that matters all too much. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using...

    Magic rack vs a wooden/plastic rack

    Yup. Heavy draw or follow just coming off a pretty full hit is the problem. It comes up rarely enough. You can make the effort to remove the rack then. That and very slow rolls over the rack.

    Brunswick Anniversary triangle holder mount?

    That's a new age thing, isn't it?

    Part 2 Laying down the spread

    The fix is in and I know it. All the same I want to know who's holding the shank how he plans to deliver it.

    Revo head count at DCC

    So, has anyone done the head count of Revo shooters at DCC? I notice that Orcollo is shooting with a charcoal gray shaft. Wondered how many non-sponsored players opted the same way.

    Draw for show, follow for the dough?

    3C is the antithesis of taking the best, most natural path from Point A to Point B. The whole idea of the game is the direct path is too boring and made interesting only by extreme and artificial requirements. It surprises me that draw is meaningful in 1 of 15.

    Draw for show, follow for the dough?

    I would say you lined up straight on the 2 for the easy draw to get straight on the 3. If it sat more mid table, stunning to come off the side rail or rolling with or without inside might be more appropriate. Depending on a few things, including the unknown 4 ball line up. PS. Looking again...

    Draw for show, follow for the dough?

    There is that. I shoot a measle ball at home on a 9 footer. It takes a rack or two to dial in on, say, a 7 footer and an Aramith logo'ed magnetic cue. Don't you find about the same difference on rail and cloth conditions, venue to venue? But now we're having a rational discussion and no...

    Anyone here drive a motorcycle?

    I think the shotgun holster is still available but requires deleting the drink holder. Should be readily modifiable.
