I’ve got three and a break. Got the first one 10-15 years ago a JPUSA. Still use it on the road. The other two are JP17-Q and JP05-M. Of course there plenty of great cues, but I think my Pechauers are great otherwise I wouldn’t have 4 of them.

Great topic. Mine came in stages, first pool table memories come from visitng neighborhood friends homes whose parents had a table. Maybe I was 5. We’d just roll the balls around, but there was something about those colors and numbers that reeled me in. I think first time using a cue was on...

Maintaining 50% RH indoors during a midwestern summer is good in my opinion. I’ve got hygrometers running in both the house and detached pool room and they are steady 50% RH with AC set around 72/73F. On the flipside winter gets considerably dry, and I actually need a humidifier in the pool...

This clip shows the shot. Best quality I could find on YT.

The light is a 9’ Perimeter Light which is suspended and LED. https://perimeterbilliardlights.com/products/perimeter-billiard-pool-table-lights-9ft The carpet is just an afterthought and usually gets moved under the table with serious play. My plan eventually is a 12x15 area rug mainly to...

An absolute legend. He will be missed.

Today I finally broke 16. It wasn’t exactly conventional, and I can’t confirm the exact run, but I definitely made it through a rack. My 14.1 practice usually entails shooting until I miss and then taking BiH. So today I was about half way through a rack and ran it down to the below diagram...

I gave CBL a college try and it’s just strange. OBL for-life here. And whenever my mechanics seem to go awry, nothing makes them sharpen up than a conscious effort on eye pattern and focusing on the OBL. The only times CBL makes sense to me is massé/jumping but those will not be in my...

Modern commentary might work if the commentators had some close connection to the match, tournament and/or players. Otherwise I agree with Fatboy. Scoring graphics would be welcomed.

Commentary not important if there’s existing ambient background sounds. If the tracks are completely silent then dubbed over commentary would be good.

Please put me down for a break and run of 15 today. Will this be the year I break 16? Do not know. GC5 TE Fargo unknown

Where is the time going, it seems like the 5 and 6 just came out. The 7 looks good, much more appealing than the 6. Unsure about removing the ball box in lieu of those metal grill racks though. Time will tell how robust they are.

‘Sharking’ is just another word for unsportsmanlike conduct and unprofessional behavior. Respect your opponent’s time at the table. The profressionals understand this.

You guys make me wish I got a classic GC with 5” instead of the 4.5” pro cut that came with the GCV TE. Anything less than pro cut 4.5” seems masochistic no matter the game. The 4.5s helped tighten up my game, but sometimes it would be nice to just loosen up and runs some balls without my ass...

Maybe shoes, gloves and towels. Funny that pool players have been known to obsess over these things too. Pool is totally mental. It’s the hobby for tinkerers.

I simply cannot resist replying to chalk threads. I used Pyro (blue) on green Simonis 860. Any chalk marks were faint. V10 on same cloth, barely noticable. Cleans easily with Simonis X1 (another controversial product) and my cloth has never seen a drop of water or soap in nearly 6 years of...

Bowling shirts likely started for team leagues back in the day. Loose fitting, short sleeved, untucked, but still looked tidy. All were positives for practicality and appearance. And they promoted team pride. Pool jerseys for individual players should be left to the pros in pro tournaments...

Only cool thing about the Sardo rack relates to a t-shirt my wife got me. She had no idea what the image was and neither did I until finding it was the Sardo rack blueprint patent diagram. I get more comments from passerbys on that shirt than any other. I find noise issues with Delta racks...

Two of me don’t take pool room chalk. The majority are usually drilled clean through with an auger. The third me used to show early scrounging for the best pieces and hoarded them. But I would never ever keep them. This personality found a Pyro lying around like it was part of an easter egg...

There are some great photos of Danny on the web spanning his life. Wish I could have met him. He will be missed.
