I don’t fault MR for anything but it’s possible pool isn’t a sustainable market for a large pro tour. We seem to be going backwards with some of the events (crummier locations, or canceled entirely) and losing good players to heyball because even top 20 players cannot cover their expenses with...

I had high hopes that Matchroom would be able to bring in more sponsorship and viewers to pool, like it did with darts. From what I can tell that didn’t happen and a lot of the complaints we are seeing (and making) about their product might be due to it failing commercially. Hopefully I’m...

Mosconi himself advised taking a break every 20 or 30 minutes while practicing but that playing against stronger players was far more important. I think the 8-10 hours of day of "practice" we hear pros talk about involves hours of playing against other people too.

The ultimate pool people do an amazing job running these tournaments on time. Play in one if you have a chance, they are a lot of fun.

I missed that. Amazon sells these bearings in packs of 2 so I assumed he had one on both ends of his shaft.

Im late to this thread but i use those same block bearings for my low rpm finishing lathe, that spins slowly while epoxy hardens. It looks like your design is good enough, but if you wanted to improve runout you could use a belt and pulley to drive a mandrel that’s fixed in one of your...

I’d like to see filler v Fedor in 9 ball, one pocket, and banks one on one match (perhaps 14.1 too).

Pinging @dr_dave as he might appreciate the published physics behind your work.

Great work and thank you for open sourcing it. It’s the only public billiard physics software library I’m aware of.

Are you one of the developers? The physics on this seem really good from a few minutes of play.

A lifetime of eating pool hall food could drive someone away from the sport…. That being said good for her.

The 360s in that collection are amazing as well.

Thank you posting. Alex’s site lets people pay easily with Apple Pay, PayPal, etc without any hassle.

Krause apparently in the final 64, with the field spit between the good Chinese players and everyone else who is learning to play nine ball on Chinese tables. Krause is in the later group, I wonder when the brackets merge?

Also, if he is at all the pro tournaments he can generate a lot of content interacting with the other pros. There is a guy on TikTok that films short clips of him playing one rack against the top pros. Fedor has his own channels as well that can be good to watch.

There was hubbub on the Facebook cue building groups when these were first announced and a few people reported buying them and posted some initial feedback. But I haven’t seen much since then, which probably is our answer (you get what you pay for).

Are these the same phenolic as the good Dynasphere balls? I think they have a line now of cheaper plastic balls.

A dumb question from a simple hobbyist, is this setup effective enough for threading joint collars or shaft tenons? I had always assumed I would need to do live threading for good results.

It’s rare we get a happy (enough) ending in pool.
