I have like a dozen sets of balls. Centenial. Predator Arcos. A bunch of Aramith (including Tournament Pro, Black and the 100 year anniversary set). A few Dynasphere (including Platinum, Tungsten and Heyball. A few Cyclop sets (including the original "good set" and the Hyperions). I cycle...

There's already short rack 8-ball for tournament play using 9-balls [4 solids, 4 stripes]. There's even a Saratoga version of this. Your option adds one more ball, so kinda slows down "short rack" that already exists. But, does add a little more variety. [edit: here's a 2012 thread on it...

Hu, Let me know if you’re interested in trying them and I’ll send you a set. I think you will end up re-confirming your existing opinion… -td

2 things. 1) you are 100% incorrect. It seems like you just did what you accused Bob of doing -> speaking without knowledge. You should be sure you know what you are saying before saying it. The design of my hoops is vastly better than yours. Yours is essentially a rectangle with 2 holes in...

I know you like your device. And for very specific situations it may be cool (like for a true beginner and maybe for gimmicky training / funsies). And, admittedly, the auditory feedback and movement of the hoop is a plus. But even with that, hoop trainers really aren't a great tool for a host...

Wow. Throwing Bob under the bus like that. I mean, Bob’s been around a minute and knows a lot of things. Bob’s opinion vs “new user.” Hmmmm I also agree it is gimmicky and probably not useful for most people. But like many pool training things, some folks will find it useful. -td

Grok makes everything possile.

Definitely a gimmicky trainer. But there have been a lot of them over the years. These hoop type trainers do move pretty easily, but that's by design so you can see your error. Some fall over. Same shift. You get an audible response as well. IMO the most useful part is shooting through the...

I've been playing 15-ball rotation recently and decided to give the AZB ghost a try. Had a decent 9-0 session. I couple stumble shots, but mostly clean. Don't forget to change playback speed to 2X [or more]. Also, sorry for the ball cleaner running! Video: -td Fargo:645. Robust:521...

[Cross-post from other thread - simulation seems to match Dr. Dave's analysis, which is expected IMO] FWIW, I asked ChatGPT to create a physics-based analysis and statistical model (including actual physical parameters as well as information gleaned from Dr. Dave), then run Monte Carlo...

FWIW, I asked ChatGPT to create a physics-based analysis and statistical model (including actual physical parameters as well as information gleaned from Dr. Dave), then run Monte Carlo simulations on extreme right spin shots and then to plot the results of 1) hitting 4 first and 2) hitting 8...

Yes. Dr. Dave has a LOT of information on tip offset. You can google his pages and enjoy a lot of light (or math intense) reading as well as high speed and normal speed videos. -td

Rasson is also fantastic. 7' plays very similar to a Diamond. -td

Filler may not be the best of all time (yet), but he has a pretty impressive rotation resume since he won the World championship back in 2018. 2026 Las Vegas Open Ten-ball 2026 Derby City Classic Nine-ball 2025 Jacksonville Ten-ball Open 2025 Euro Tour Estonian Open 2025 European Open...

Thanks! Awesome report as always. We all saw you in the front row sweating the action! Derby sounds like a hoot and you write i up well! I posted this in the other on breaking stats as well but, to me, one of the most impressive stats is that Filler got food poisoning, forfeited an early...

Awesome! Thanks! To me, one of the most impressive stats is that Filler got food poisoning, forfeited an early match (having to use his re-buy for medical reasons!) and then still won the tourney. He spotted the field his buyback and still won. His wins in 7 rounds before the finals were...

Not great marketing. Miscue during live play... -td

The only thing that should matter is the moment of contact. The language mentioned ("smooth," "timing," "follow-through") are descriptions of characteristics that we (as humans) need to accurately replicate the "moment of contact" for some manner of predicable result. That is, for all of us...

I have PPB and it works great. It is integrated with Poolbilliards.co drills, which is what I use it for primarily. This combo gives you hundreds of skill level dependent options. You click a drill on your phone and it auto-populates to the table. It's pretty slick. There is also a ton of...

Lot's of ways, but here's a solution I offer. Holder comes with different sized spacers and a box to hold everything. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1492000803/ You can get down to the very bottom of the chalk with this setup. I sell all the pieces-parts a la carte, but the kitchen sink is...
