I feel like buying something. But I can't think of anything to buy. Pool related, of course. Any new training aids, gadgets, gizmos out there that might be worth trying? Any new books? r/DCP

FYI here, Remember how I always complained about how I rarely ever got a decent spread after the 9B break on my GCIV? And how that sort of prompted me to go and purchase the new Diamond Professional? For the first time in a few months I went downstairs and broke some racks of 9B on the Gold...

The last time I posted a diagram of a shot it didn't work. I hope this one does. https://pad.chalkysticks.com/32756.png Anyway, the point is if I shoot this shot with stun or draw my cue usually veers to the left and hits the 6B. In the diagram the 6B is just slightly interfering with the...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/32688.png I broke some racks of 9-Ball today and on one occasion I had this straight in shot on the 1B as the opening shot. And I missed it as per the line in the diagram shows. When I got down on the shot I simply couldn't tell if the cue was aligned straight at...

I am thinking about having the table mechanic come down later in the year, say around October, and having new cloth installed on both my Gold Crown IV and the Diamond Professional. For you new folks the GCIV is the mahogany version and the Diamond Professional is the Oak Cherry version. Just...

It seems like I saw it is available on their European website but I didn't see that it's available in the states. Anybody know what's going on here? r/DCP

I know there might be alot of different answers but I would be interested in hearing what everyone thinks is the best jump cue out there today? Price is not really a big concern in case you are wondering. r/DCP

Does anybody own this jump cue? If not has anybody ever tried jumping with it? Just looking for some opinions here. r/DCP https://evocues.com/collections/pegasus/products/evo-pegasus-jump-cue-moonshadow

A couple of things I have noticed about this Diamond Professional table now that I've had it for over three months. First, balls go in on the break. I am breaking with the 1B on the spot and I am placing the CB just off the rail on the right side about 2-3 inches. The right side facing the...

Let's say you are breaking a rack of 9-Ball. And that there is a piece of chalk sitting on the edge of the cushion. Right on the very edge. So you break and a ball knocks the piece of chalk off the table onto the floor. Since you were the breaker and a ball hit the piece of chalk on your...

I was reading a Billiards Digest magazine from back in 2017 and it had a list of Players of the Year for both men and women. Back years ago when Earl was POTY it said he was from Houston, TX. I don't recall Earl ever living in Houston. Anybody recall that or can shed any light here? r/DCP

Okay, I just purchased a new Cuetec Cynergy Nine Ball cue and I have a couple of questions. First, is the tip shown an Elkmaster tip? Second, are the joints the same? The middle pic is the new Cynergy joint and the pic on the far right is from my old Cuetec Starlight Earl Strickland cue...

Has anybody ever owned one of these? Or shot with one of these? I am thinking about buying one. It's my understanding that Cuetec Cues are way better than what they used to be 30 years ago. Anybody? r/DCP

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/c908e20.png I use the Outsville template for breaking racks of 9B. And as you all know I have been breaking those racks on my new Diamond Professional. The issue is that I usually end up with about four balls all close together as shown in the diagram. In this...

I've also noticed three more things with regards to the new Diamond Professional. 1) The side pockets play tough. I've hit some shots into the side pockets facings and they have bounced out. Shots that I though would go in. Is this typical of Diamond tables? 2) The table plays faster than my...

I keep talking about having a runnable rack. Tonight I went back over to the garage apartment to see if the new light bulbs would make things better and brighter. Was a small improvement. Anyway, I broke about a dozen racks and never had a chance. Then finally I got this spread and ran out...

Anybody have special shoes you wear when you play? My Diamond Professional is in my upstairs garage apartment and it's got that vinyl plank flooring. If I have to lean a little bit to reach a shot my feet will, at times, slip a little. Just wondering if anyone uses special shoes for various...

I've had the new table one month now. And so far I have noticed three things about this new Diamond Professional. First, sad to say, the break still doesn't seem to be working for me. Similar results to the Gold Crown IV. Not sure what to do about this dilemma. Second, those that said I...

Anybody seen or heard anything from Travis lately? He played a good game of 9-Ball once by only missing two shots. r/DCP

Seems like somebody was wanting pictures of the pockets, can't remember who. Anyway, I finally remembered to take my phone over to the table today and took these pics. If it's not what was wanted just let me know. r/DCP
