    Live Streaming Video ?'s

    Check out OpenShot Video Editor to merge video with Audacity Sound capture for commentary. Don't think OpenShot can capture audio directly though so might be a PITA to get everything lined up.

    straightline: "Can you provide the logic behind this?"

    I suspect Gorst was using his Russian sense of humor. With that said I do believe its possible and probable that someone can simply see the angle and through a lifetime of playing execute that shot. I watched a clip of SVB explaining how he aimed shots like his cue was his old 30-30 rifle...

    I won the Lag

    At APA league this week the other team had a new player whom never played a single match in APA. I recognized him, and thankfully the league operators correctly set his skill levels to 7/9 as his Fargo is 700 range. I don't have a Fargo but know I'd be around 450-500. I knew all I could do is...

    More Waxing Effects, Including Cue Ball Deflection. And Silicone Spray vs. Turtle Wax.

    Ah, min 11:00 in the first video. I was getting hung up on the side spin effect coming up shorter. Thanks as always!

    More Waxing Effects, Including Cue Ball Deflection. And Silicone Spray vs. Turtle Wax.

    Dr. Dave, I have a table at home that plays close to "on-system". After improving some I reduced the pockets with rubber blocks and re-felted the table with CPBA brand cloth. New Aramith balls immediately after. I play on diamonds weekly in league and tournaments. I'm grown accustomed to...

    Built a simple Straight Pool scorekeeper — looking for feedback from 14.1 players

    On first launch it worked as expected. I closed the app and relaunched and now the screen is all twitchy and the bottom on the screen is cut off. I did managed to get some screenshots which I'll be able to upload when I get home in a few hours.

    LG L455DL Android Version 10. I'll reinstall it to see if I can reproduce the issue.

    Lucasi 612 (L-E46) Custom Series

    Cocobolo flames on titanium white L-E46 Purchased this cue from a pawn shop for $50 about 20 years ago. It was my only cue for a long time an only about a year ago replaced with a Viking. I carry the cue as a backup. Shaft is slightly warped, not significant to really be an issue. I'm kicking...

    What glove do you use?

    Tiger glove with the closed pointer finger. about $20 and fits well. Tried some cheap IBS gloves off amazon , came in a pack of 5, and they were too small. Gave them all away on league night. I've been curious about "Sure Shot" gloves on pooldawg but don't buy enough stuff for them to justify...

    APA - 9 ball scorecard for practice Android App

    Added a shot clock to the app. Not an APA thing, but fun regardless. 15 seconds is crazy btw! Haha!

    Built a simple Straight Pool scorekeeper — looking for feedback from 14.1 players

    Launched once. After that I get a Login Successful page and seems stuck, can't get it cleared. Screen is all twitchy and freaking out. Force stopped the app but it's just endlessly doing that. Don't like that it needs internet, as the app I'm currently using doesn't need connectivity.

    Pool Chalk……Constantly Evolving……..What’s the Future?

    Someone left a 95% used up block of Taom at the bar about 6 months ago. I've been using it on my home table, and it is very clean, which I appreciate. Otherwise, it's Masters for me, made in the USA and also cheaper than dirt.

    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    In my area there's APA, CSI/BCA, UPL, Napa, 3strikes, pokerchips, scotchdoubles, and various 8,9,10 ball tournaments everyday of the week. The rules are all over the place, but it hasn't been all that difficult to let my opponent know I'm new to the tournament and to help me understand the...

    Pool Stroke Training Shot Clock

    I recently just added a shot clock feature to my "9 ball scorecard" app for android. App scores based on APA. Still in testing but planning on releasing that feature soon. It's very crude as it's set for each time a score is taken, the clock starts and beeps at 10 seconds as a warning, then...

    Do you shoot pool with a hat on?

    I've worn a baseball cap for as long as I can remember. Inside, outside, at the pool table, and dinner table. Heck I probably slept with my hat on. I came back to APA league from a long time off, and joined a random team, who turned out to be a great crew. About 2 years into playing with that...

    A Portable 14.1 Scorekeeper

    $10 on Scam-azon. Searched for flip numbers. I use an android app which I highly recommend "Straight Pool Sheet". Keeps a ton of stats and does everything and more for scoring.

    Experiencing cue ball deflection

    About a year ago I purchased a new cue Viking Siege 12.25 with the upgrade base which I've enjoyed having. All the marketing wank about low deflection performance cues the bottom line is you have to adjust with side spin regardless what you're equipment is. Last night I experienced a real world...

    Are we all playing with the same leather (layered / solid) tip after 4-6 months?

    The softer the tip, the more shaping is required, which shortens it's lifespan as you're removing material. The less material there is the harder it'll feel, regardless if that's whats actually happening to the tip, hardening that is versus staying soft. I only used Tiger medium tips Everest...
