    Cloth color

    I had green because I am old school, but I got my hands on Simonis gray and recovered my table about a year ago. I like the gray better.

    Players refusing to lag the ball.

    I did find 3 players at my skill level that lose significantly more if they break... I am not surprised because they are good at making balls but don't play defense so they attempt a run out every time. When their opponent comes to the table, it is wide open. For instance, one guy wins 57% when...

    Mosconi Cup standings after the US Open

    The problem in my area doesn't seem to be the willingness to shoot on a 9ft, it is the lack of availability. There just aren't that many around. We have 10 7ft tables and 1 9ft and the 9ft stays busy all night long. We would have to take out 2 7ft tables to add another 9ft.

    I just ran the numbers for my league in the last 1500 games if the players were within 60 Fargo points of each other, the breaker won 49.4% and the non-breaker won 50.6%. This covered 431 games.

    Hotels with pool tables

    I have stayed in several Tru (by Hilton) hotels in MS and they all have 8' Brunswick in the lobby. The condition of the table is inconsistent, always with cheap slow cloth and cheap balls.

    Thorpe blasts ‘one of the dumbest rules’ after becoming ineligible for USA Mosconi Cup team

    I think the package offered by a company should be in line with the attention the player can bring to their product. If Billy is under compensated by Meucci then some other company could offer more and attract Billy. If Meucci lost Tyler and or Billy, then they need to reevaluate their package.

    Chalk gate at the open !!!!

    How do you say that so confidently? It certainly looks like a skid to me, and from what I have heard, Justin uses Master chalk. Dirt and chalk both have been known to cause skids. In that environment, I would suspect chalk before dirt.

    Chalk gate at the open !!!!

    You didn't address the original complaint about the chalk... Which was a (possible) skid caused by Master chalk.
