lol, it would make for some crazy swerve shots.

Nice! Next project is to mount an overhead camera and get a computer to identify the cueball, and then move the table automatically after every shot once the balls stop moving. This guy might have ideas if you can contact him: He seems to have software like that already made.

It would be, yeah. Deflection is caused by mass, mass is measured by volume.

Nobody with a space 4' or less will put 2 pieces where they could just put one vertical. Even if they did it would mean less than 4' of additional taping. In no 3d universe does it "double the number of seams".

Huh?

Lol, I love all the negativity in this thread. There are definitely 2 types of people in the world. Those that can get stuff done, and those that can't. I guarantee I could make this work, and do it for less than $1k, including the computer. I'm betting that Scott is in my camp.

That's a good point. I play 90% 14.1, 10% 8 ball, and the colors don't bug me at all. I could see having issues with them for rotation games though.

I'm a carpenter and have never seen this before. It's a really good idea, did you think of it yourself?

Q: How do you get a pro pool player off your front step? A: Pay him for the pizza and he should leave on his own.

No, you haven't. Your phone has controls and safeguards built in to prevent overcharge/discharge. Lithium batteries are terrific, but they are not best suited for every application. Battery fires do happen with lithium. They don't with lead acid. Keep on arguing about something that you have no...

From the post you quote: Abused lithium batteries can fail very badly. Lead acid batteries just don't. For an application that doesn't benefit in the least from lithium's high energy density, low weight, and fast charge/discharge rates, lead acid are 100% the way to go.

So you would recommend replacing a very stable battery technology that works just fine for this application with one that can catastrophically fail, by bursting into flames, if it's ever overcharged or over-discharged, in an environment that battery care is likely to be neglected? Seems like a...

Realized this morning that I hadn't put a number up for 2021 yet, so had my game face on when my buddy showed up for our match. Second game in I ran a 55, then ran a 51 in the next game. Both runs ended on very makable shots, so kind of disappointed, but happy to finally put something up. Will...

Correct. The ring template is a cnc cut, 1/8" thick sheet of plastic. Maybe vinyl? He also throws in a few of the paper rings. Buy it once, and it's good for a lifetime (as long as they keep making paper reinforcements). I don't apply it like he suggests, I use it to actually mark the circles...

No ball tapping required. Basically it works like the best "trained" table you've ever played on, and the rings cause essentially no roll-off of balls crossing over them. No worse than the divots a trained table causes for sure. Yeah, it's only for use on your own home table. Unless you could...

Do yourself a favor and try the perma-rack too. I'm convinced the reason it isn't the #1 recommended rack here is that nobody has tried it. Hell, the only reason I found out about it was that I'd seen it in use by the inventor in a straight pool video he posted, and sent him a PM asking what...

For your own table? Perma-Rack. Hands down the best racking system I've ever used. Developed by an AZBer whose name escapes me. Here's his site: http://tackletamer.com/perma-rack-see-video-below/ Edit: I know it says that links to a fishing store. That's the link though.

I agree with this. Less deflection = less missed balls from accidental english. The revo is lower deflection than the Lucasi, so should be helpful to a beginner learning the basics.

Take this shit elsewhere.

I know you don't think it's the chalk, but as a one-time experiment buy one cube of Taom Pyro chalk. I've noticed everything staying much much cleaner since switching. It might not even be coming entirely from the cloth, your technique might be depositing chalk dust directly on the dirty hand...
