    Commentaries on Streaming Pool Matches.

    Horse racing is not in any way like pool. That should be obvious. I agree that there are a large number of pool commentators who are not good. I've used the mute button on many matches.

    I have a few harbor freight pelican knock off gun cases. Mostly for taking rifles to the range. But will work with cue cases. 1/3 the price and cheaper with coupons.

    Bar table pool vs. big table pool

    Interesting. So the Valley tables in your area use the oversized cue ball? Or you don't have any Valley tables?

    Bar table pool vs. big table pool

    um. no. a 22.5 degree shot into a 4.5 in pocket cares nothing about how far away the shot is.

    What set of balls do you recommend to get?

    No chip. My issue is the 3 different purple hues. The cream color is very similar to the Aramith duramith. I don't mind it either. That is a dynosphere bronze set.

    Bar table pool vs. big table pool

    The biggest difference is that a 7ft table has 64% less area than a 9ft table. So the balls tend to cluster more on a 7ft. Shot making should be easier on the 7ft. Especially if the shooter is used to a 9ft. The easiness tends to were of fast though. lol
