    How good is your Stroke?

    Yet another fat slob posting from his Momma's basement.

    How good is your Stroke?

    Not sure what your issue is. I simply devised a quantitative method to measure ourselves individually and/or to measure ourselves against our friends... and wanted to share it. If that offends you, live with it.

    How good is your Stroke?

    How good is your stroke, your understanding of your Vision Center and your alignment? Here's a drill that Dr. Dave included in his 'Aim Better with Proper Vision Center Alignment'... available on YouTube (link below). I devised a simple scoring methodology to measure your Vision Center...

    If amateurs racked for top 9 ball players on a typical local 9 foot table

    Note to self... remember to add [/sarcasm] for fairly obvious sarcastic posts.

    If amateurs racked for top 9 ball players on a typical local 9 foot table

    Let's ask @Dr.Dave to do the research and report back to us with the answer. LMAO

    Anyone Use A Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft?

    Not sure if he feels they're irrelevant... but rather, they're subjective as you pointed out. He's a test engineer and he loves to measure the quantitative characteristics of pocket billiards equipment and compare them to like equipment. I like carbon fiber shafts for their low deflection and...

    Anyone Use A Rhino Carbon Fiber Shaft?

    If you're undecided on Rhino carbon fiber shafts, watch Dr. Dave's video on YT that tests less expensive CF shafts like Rhino. I like mine.

    Thank you all

    Jay, we've never met but I have a good number of friends here in the Seattle pool community that know you. I'll bring them up to date on what you're going through. Keep your head up, brother. Better days are yet ahead... so get well soon!

    Do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

    Brother, you and I are in the same boat. I'm 77 as well... quit for 17 years... restarted almost exactly one year ago today. The difference being, I never established a FR before I stopped playing back in 2008. Fargo started me as a 495 one year ago... and I'm currently in their system as a...

    What Johnston City Players Are Still Living?

    I was there in '72... on one of the Saturday evenings before October 26th, the night of the raid... but only as a young, curious railbird who didn't understand the historical significance of what was going down in Johnston City. I had been recently discharged from the Army, and in August of that...

    Chalk brands

    I'm curious... for you advocates of Masters (and other 'dirty' chalks)... how many of you have a table at home? I do... and Masters (and their like) are not allowed on my table. I offer Taom to those who don't bring their own.

    Does anyone remember?

    Jay... not many here know that Danny was the World Eight Ball & 9-Ball Champion in 1976... at the tender age of 23 years old. Strangely, Mike was/is almost exactly a year younger than Danny... so he was, but 22 years old himself.... the 'Young Guns' of the mid-70s. Thanks for the details of...

    Diamond table domination

    That's why mine is in my 2-car garage. 😁

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    New Littman 7' x 2' Tournament Edition light now installed above my 9' Pro Am. I'm loving the new light.

    Is this legal?

    Yes, you can do it... I did for a while on one cue I owned... but the shortcoming is the tip wears unevenly over time... and must be re-shaped fairly often, thereby significantly reducing tip life. I used the line drawn on the ferrule as an aiming aid.

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    Thanks, everybody, for your input. It's well appreciated! FYI, I just ordered Littman's 7' x 2' Tournament Edition for my 9-foot Pro Am. It looks like Littman's factory is in Beaverton, OR, which is close to Portland... and not too far from me... as I am about 35 mi. north of Seattle. Looks...

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    Thanks... I'll check them out as well.

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    The main reason is Diamond Lights were designed quite a long time... perhaps 30+ years (?)... and pool table lighting technology has continued to advance. Additionally, I want a more lightweight design that makes it easier to install. I don't have the weight numbers for Diamond's 9-foot light...

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    I'm strongly considering a lighting upgrade for my home table... a 9-foot Diamond Pro AM... and a friend suggested that I look at Littman Lights. They're pricey... so before I commit, I'm interested in getting opinions about them... favorable and unfavorable... all are welcome. TIA

    Anyone know of a Diamond ball cleaner stand?

    Mine's in my garage/pool room... so I raised it with leftover pavers from my back patio project... two courses for the base... and then another course but of only small square pavers under each foot. It doesn't move... but it also doesn't have any drawers to store shit. lol
