This thread has died off but I said I'd put a review up, so here it is: I've been playing with the Dynasphere tungstens for about a month now, and I couldn't be happier. The quality of materials is second to none. They stay every bit as clean as my old Cyclop balls, or maybe even cleaner...

So the fouling player gets a foul for unsportsmanlike. The incoming player has table in position after the balls are racked I guess? I wasn't there for it, but it happened between 2 of my friends shortly before I got there. Their decision was to call it a foul, and incoming player accepting...

Player makes his last ball and gets bad shape on the break ball. Player spaces out/ brain farts, and shoots the break ball before racking and misses. What the hell happens here?

It took awhile, but I got an email today saying that they have shipped, and my credit card has been charged, so seems like they are on the way.

Put up a 45 vs my buddy Jim today. There's coarse language in the video clip, so NSFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYX2XHr5kb0

This is where I ordered mine from: https://olhausenonline.com/products/dynasphere-tungsten-pool-ball-set $100US shipped to my door in Canada. Ridiculously cheap, if the quality is there. I'll put a review up in this thread when they show up.

Can you post some pics? I replaced my Cyclop skittles balls with centennials and regret it, and would like to get new Cyclop balls but they seem to be getting hard to come by. I don't especially like the look of the dynasphere platinums. Can't find any pics of the tungsten set, maybe they will...

I was thinking a cheap drill press would have all the basic parts you'd need, with very little needing modification.

I really like that one too, but think I want to keep an 8 ball setup, storage space is at a premium. This is my current one I'm using, but it's getting a bit long in the tooth, I built it awhile ago and probably has over 200 cycles on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWtVb2nlsE

I really like the design of the diamond polisher. I think I'll rip it off when I build another one. Can probably do it for $150 if I keep my eyes open for a good 2nd hand motor.

That has to be my favourite rack of pool that I've ever seen. Here it is for anyone that hasn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKD7EdzMjAM Schmidt's 626 was bigger for me than anything else in my lifetime. I don't get the hate.

I'm about the same with either hand on most shots, but bridging over balls, and the break shot, are much better shooting right handed. Edit: I actively had to teach myself to shoot lefty, it wasn't a proficiency out of the gate. I'm at the point now where I'll switch several times in a rack. If...

Name of the movie is "The Pearl" for sure. I think it should be set 20 years after his peak, and have the washed-up lead character find the motivation to beat his demons and make his way back to the top again.

If you want bang for your buck, get the cyclop. When I first got my table I bought a skittles Cyclop set because I couldn't afford the set I really wanted, the centennials. I recently sold my Cyclop set after I found a good deal on some centennials, and have regretted it ever since. The Cyclop...

Perma-Rack It's the best racking system I've ever used. Made by AZBer "Side Pocket". Here's his video explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4xeLOTO2Ug&feature=share Here's his site: http://tackletamer.com/perma-rack-see-video-below/ I used his template a bit differently. I used...

Haven't played in over a month, can't seem to focus as much when it's just me, but figured a lot of guys would kill to have access to a table right now so I better use mine a bit. Forced myself to go out and put some time in tonight, and ran a 40 in a match vs myself. Video...

If you're looking to buy new, I'd try to find a set of Cyclop balls if I were in your shoes, they give you the best bang for your buck.

Make them play. I'm a straight pool missionary. Whenever anyone wants to play here I make sure at least 1 game of straight pool is part of the bargain. The more people get exposed to it, the more they want to play. I have plenty of people to play now, where when I started I was all alone.

I'm a 50+ runner on 7', 8', and 9', and in my experience 8' is easiest, then 7', then 9'. 10' is much tougher than the 3 smaller tables.

Honestly I don't think about anything. I did my thinking when I was standing. My routine is to build the program in my head before I address the shot. Once I'm down on the shot I just execute. If, once I'm down, I notice my mind wandering at all from that, or if I "feel" that something isn't...
