    WNT, WPA and 2026

    8 ball is the most boring game possible on a pool table. Please, let's not go there.

    9ball break

    Magic rack vs triangle rack is a world of difference. Its the whole reason the pro game came up with a bunch of goofy break rules the past 15 years, because it was too easy to make the corner ball on the break.

    Parts to convert Gold Crown 5 to ball return

    I never liked drop pockets for one hole. 9 ball, yes. But in one hole, a ball return forces the players to use the ball holder above the ball tray. That makes the score visible in an instant. With drop pockets, players usually leave the balls in the hole, or in the side pocket when the corner...

    Ralf Souqet scratches at hill-hill in Quarters of Belgian Open

    IDK.... it's Ralf for one, I doubt he's going to hit it bad... He also looks to have hit it fat (plus for him). And the OB looks like it was maybe 1mm off of the cushion (minus for him). Maybe the cloth was brand new and the spin didn't take as much? It was a tricky situation for sure. I think...

    Ralf Souqet scratches at hill-hill in Quarters of Belgian Open

    I'm a banger but I think its more likely to scratch than not scratch hitting it like that.

    Sticky threads...

    Falling on deaf ears. We've been complaining about the sheer number and outdated topics of the sticky threads for a good 20 years.

    Inside and outside English

    Outside makes the angle bigger. Inside makes the angle narrower.

    9 Ball Roll Out Situation

    No one is following because your initial post is unclear. Do you mean the 9 was knocked off the table onto the floor and out the door? If so, that is 100% a foul, even if a push is called. If you mean the 9 was knocked off the table by pocketing it normally into a pocket, then it spots, and...

    Higher skill pocket billiards players - 9 ball or snooker players?

    I'm not reading that drivel.... My comment is I believe the sport of Snooker has found the highest level of players when compared to pool. The reason is money. Kids, teens, young adults, etc, can all take the sport super seriously, and with the backing of their parents, because it leads to a...

    Parts to convert Gold Crown 5 to ball return

    They are all like that. They came in 2 or 3 finishes, I forget the exact number. The finish in that picture was probably the most popular. I've seen very few 5's in the wild, because by the time they were released, most of the commercial rooms were already buying Diamonds. I've only seen 6's...

    Parts to convert Gold Crown 5 to ball return

    You need a lot of parts to make that conversion. It won't be cost effective. Plus, the ball box on the GC5 is the worst one ever made. On the 1,2,3,4, it was the same width. On the 5, it became about as wide as the entire width of the table. When you stick your hands in there to grab the balls...

    Amazon perimeter style light

    The ball cleaner is not their's. It's a Chinese cleaner re-labeled for over double the price. And if you want to go that route, there are other ones for $120 on Amazon.

    Peter Vitalie Table

    I can't tell if image 0458 is a particleboard slate frame? If so, the table is probably from the 1980's onward.

    I'm drawing a blank.... where was it the few short years after Doha lost it, and before Jeddah got it?

    Ronnie doing Ronnie Things - Highest Break Ever

    I know in the past snooker tables were governed by non-published templates controlled by the WST (or other snooker org) that would verify the pockets were all in spec. Did that practice stop?

    Ronnie doing Ronnie Things - Highest Break Ever

    The score being announced was for the inning, not the whole game. The screen score was the whole game.
