Please put me down for a smash break and run of 15 done yesterday while working on my Equal Offense stats. My goal this year is practicing 2, 3, then 4 ball end patterns to run at least 16.

Dust is there, whatever lands on the cloth is so fine it’s barely noticeable. Even shots into the cloth that leave marks are negligible. With Masters I would need to clean the cloth after every several hours of play and would pick up a fair amount of chalk dust. I’d say I go three times that...

I watch C8B from time to time on YT, always amazed by the skill. Someday I’d like to try out one of those Joy tables to confirm how difficult they really are. Probably won’t ever happen, I couldn’t find one close by if my life depended on it. It’s tough watching an entire match because they...

After watching more Snooker I’m liking it. Interesting there’s no time clock and it doesn’t seem to require one.

I had a set of 30 year old Aramith Crown Standards show the same issue as @dr_dave. My circumstances was on brand new Simonis 860HR and the were balls treated with both Aramith restorer and polish hand applied. Not sure if this was the cause of the spots but that was my experience. Never had...

Currently I’ve got mine marked: Master spot on head spot Master spot on foot spot Small dot for center spot 14.1 outline Long string Small dot for red ball (English Billiards) I needed the center spot for Cowboy and the red spot for English Billiards but rarely play the latter nowadays...

Must be for trick shot artists.

Must be some serious high rollers around if the steakhouse has no reservations and it’s $100 for a Ribeye, granted 22 ounces is obscenely large. The thought of this tournament firmly places me in the position to stay home and eat frozen broccoli. Otherwise I must be doing something wrong in my...

The blue and white wrapper conjures up images of dim Valley tables sagging with dirty cloth, warped cues without tips and the smell of sour beer. Finding a piece of Silver Cup not bored all the way through in this environment is rare indeed. And for approximately 62 cents a piece that’s...

Maybe as a teenager on an 8 footer with shallow 5” pockets or once on a Valley BB and probably never on a 9 footer if I can recall. It takes at the very least a cosmo layout for me to run ANY discipline. A break and run is a completely and even more untamable animal. And I’m 51.99 years old.

Missing.

Decided to apply the trim decals that came with the table after all. Why not.

We will never forget.

Burn marks aka ‘breaking stripes’ are going to happen. Things wear. Same with the burn marks you’ll start seeing around the pocket facings and along the cushions. I have three year old Simonis 860HR with no chalk infestation and it sees modest play with clean Aramith and Dynasphere phenolic...

Sounds like trouble in Vancouver city with a capital "T"

I’ve wanted to participate in this challenge the past couple years but can’t play on a decent level, though I do really like 14.1. High run is 15 balls back in July. Basically a full on smash break and run. I can do this probably 10% of the time. For me it’s not if I can run 100, it’s how many...

May as well chime in, love my 5 and it’s been leveled just once when installed. I’m partial to Brunswicks in general especially the Anniversaries and Centennials, though I’ll have to visit my local B-Wick dealer to try the 6.

Another way to find an answer is looking up past high profile matches like the US Open 9 Ball Championship and see what they were using. Most likely were the latest products. 2012 they were using TV Pro Cups 2013 used TV Duramith

The Centennial ball set is unrecognizable. The Ivorylene line has the modern Centennial ‘look’. Interesting

For my home, ball skid ceased the moment I changed chalk. All ball brands, all sets were impacted. And I keep both balls and cloth clean. Barring aesthetics, colors, and other’s personal opinions about such, my short term findings are the best value set (quality/performance/$) is the...
