I think he actually used a template rack system that was permanently affixed to the table, perma-rack or something very similar, not a removable template like the magic rack. I use perma-rack for straight pool (and everything else obviously), and it makes a huge difference when compared to an...

My game most closely resembles the 3 stooges. All 3 of them rolled up in one glorious package.

Just downloaded it, thanks! Hopefully get to try it tomorrow.

We usually just intentionally foul by dropping the tip straight down on the CB, but: I'm definitely doing this the next time my buddy scratches, just for fun. Feels like this should definitely be an unsportsmanlike foul, as funny as it is. I know it's an unpopular stance, but the ultimate...

Ok. Then what is the minimum effort needed for it to NOT be an unsportsmanlike foul? Forward motion and 1/16" cueball movement? 2" movement? That's the question being asked here.

This. If your chalk is more than 1/2" tall when it retires, you're doing it wrong. Basically the equivalent of this:

Best best? Probably the Aramith duramith sets. I say probably because the Dynaspheres are super high quality as well, and I personally think they are as good as the Aramiths, but consensus says the duramiths are better. Bang for your buck? Definitely Dynasphere. Their cheapest sets play as...

He only played one exhibition match ever? Makes his run much more impressive. I thought it was a multiple shows per week kind of gig.

I do this with a thin sharpie. Makes it easy to replace donuts as needed. My table is a tool, marking it up doesn't bother me.

Anyone with a tap to match the threads should be able to run it down and straighten it out.

I do similar. I glue a steel washer to the bottom of the chalk, and keep a couple strong neodymium magnets in my pocket. I might change this though, as the magnets are too strong and my clothes are prematurely wearing out where my chalk clips.

It's fine. Mine freezes 3 or 4 times a year, no problem.

Just personal use. They are such a chore to make, I'd have to charge $50 a pop to be worth the hassle.

To make my milk duds I soak them in a mixture of water and yellow carpenters glue for about a week before I press them. Then I press them to a specific foot pound, retorquing occasionally over 2 days. Makes for very consistent tips.

Attaboy!

Huh? I got mine about 15 years ago, and it was the best money I ever spent. Did you get it done and have a bad experience?

Powder bad. If you're averse to a glove, you could try spritzing your hands with isopropyl alcohol and drying with a towel. Should help to slick things up a bit.

I have the perma-rack that uses the cheap Avery brand hole-punch reinforcement things. It holds up to the vacuum just fine, but they eventually start to lift. I replace them 2 or 3 times a year.

Post proof.
