    Best to Say Nothing at All?

    Handshake and a gentlemans nod. Undefeated. Though I do hit them with the "see you in the finals" sometimes.

    Longest you've seen someone hold a challenge table for $$

    4 ball diamond with the “5” ball frozen to the center diamond in the kitchen. Cool idea for bar table/coin op pool. Lot of value for your quarters.

    Longest you've seen someone hold a challenge table for $$

    Not sure about time, half a day is super strong though. But many moons ago in South Georgia there was a spot with 8 bar tables and they played 5 ball. Win 2 out of 3 and you keep the table. $5 or $10 per game and a few folks would bet 20. If you split the first 2 racks the 3rd rack doubled. It...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    Maybe this has been said already, maybe not... But if you actually want to test your skills so badly just play tougher competition. Stop obsessing over rules because they aren't relevant to who wins anyway and never have been. If you absolutely must try a variant that will expose your flaws as...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    "luck" goes both ways. It is part of the game regardless of your feelings on it. You can never eliminate it completely. Do you obsess about the weather because that's basically the same thing, out of your control. But you're pretty dug in here so you'll probably just keep yelling at the clouds :)

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    My good golfing buddy and I play stymies sometimes, it adds a lot of fun Strat to the game at times. BRING IT BACK lol. At least for matchplay anyway. No good for stroke play/medal play tournaments.

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    But it doesn't matter if they want no luck and no bad bounces. There's not a single thing they can do to control it. When you me and 2 other guys are on a par 3 for example it's a different hole for all 4 of us, the wind will be different for all of us. You and I can land our golf ball 6" apart...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    One pocket has BY A LARGE MARGIN the biggest luck factor in all games played. And that is why it's the best game.

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    Golf has more variance than any game on the planet. I could list examples but they would be hard to follow for non-golfers. Football is shaped the way it is quite literally to produce variance. The game would not be nearly what it is if the football bounced predictably and was easier to handle...

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    So let me get this straight, you're telling me I made the 10 ball legally and I have to make it AGAIN to win? Do I win 2 games? SUPER STUPID RULE. Variance is GOOD. "Early" does not exist. Did I make the "money ball" or not?

    “Less Lucky” Version of 10 Ball?

    Removing luck from games makes them worse, not better. It's an extremely short-sighted position to take, to institute rules/processes that remove luck/variance.

    Product recommendation for Diamond logo

    I'll add on to what others have said here, I think it looks pretty cool that way. If Anything I might take it as an oppurtunity to make it really unique and put my favorite sports teams colors in the cavities. Paint fill style. If you absolutely need it to look like the rest of the black the...

    Best 7’ table other than Diamond!

    Make it 3. Not a fan of Diamond bar tables. They all play way and I mean WAY too fast. And before anyone comes in here saying they fixed that, no they just made it less bad. Love the 9’ though. Best tables available today.
