From that vantage the camera is closer to the expressway than the expressway is to Cabrini, yet you claim to have seen more Cabrini detail from the expressway. And for the others who were nervous being near a (gasp!) housing project - I've been driving past and through them for 50+ years...

I was at an RSB* gathering there long ago (90s?) - maybe that one? Lou probably remembers it... pj chgo *RSB = Rec Sport Billiards "newsgroup", a defunct pool forum that preceded AZB.

So gravity can do it but "god" can't... got it.

What do flatheads think holds it "down"?

The 2.375" (2 3/8") one would be good practice with pool balls - 1/16" clearance each side. Golf tees work too, but they don't have the handy "target" mark centered over these arcs - something specific to aim at. pj chgo

Here's a little-known visualization technique using the fact that the line connecting the CB-OB contact points always crosses the CB-OB center-to-center line at its midpoint. Despite its geometric validity I don't know of anybody who uses it - you could be the first. pj chgo

A mile farther away with even more buildings between... sure, that makes as much sense as anything you've said. Cabrini subsidized housing still exists there - the highrises were removed 15-30 years ago. Even then I doubt you could make out the detail you describe from the expressway - the pic...

If we're only talking about what causes "skids", neither the table nor the player cause it - except maybe excess chalk on the table sticking to the balls. pj chgo

Cabrini is behind the big white apartment building (and all the other buildings in between) - I hope you didn't burn any holes in them with your magnifying x-ray vision. pj chgo

I think you'll need to define "goes inside the pocket". pj chgo

I reckon you said this... pj chgo

Some very cool safety strategies (and executions)... pj chgo

The table has nothing to do with that. pj chgo

You feel unsafe in poor neighborhoods? None of those where you’re from? pj chgo

I'm pretty sure help is on the way.
