Nice! Thanks for adding

Totally agree. As if that large after motion imparted anything positive on the cue ball. I see some people do that in pool halls then look around to see who noticed...

Stumbled upon another old video. I had never seen Ronnie Allen play before. I know the pockets are larger than today's usual, but wow! These guys are swinging at very low percentage shots and nailing them! Sharing this link somewhere in the middle because the intro is long:

You will quickly notice those tolerances when one particular ball is always rolling freely while you slide the rack into place because it is not constrained due to being undersized...

At the timestamped video below, Strickland is playing Sigel in one pocket and briefly comes to the table with radio earmuffs that I hadn't seen the likes of since the 90s. By the time he returns the table he has taken them off, but it cracked me up. Noticing the date of the video was 2017 made...

The first time you see that guy play it's quite jarring until you understand that this is not a conscious decision

It doesn't bother me too much. I'm just happy to be shooting pool. It's most annoying to add moving chalk out of the way to my pre-shot routine, but if that's the worst of it, I'm having a good day.

Ralph: "Address the chalk" Norton: "Hellooooo Chalk!"

An older fellow that I've logged many hours playing against has a chalk habit when he first arrives to play. He grabs 5 cubes of masters chalk and walks around the gold crown table placing one on all but one rail sections. Then as he plays, he chalks up abundantly and sets the chalk face down...

Nice thread resurrection! I missed this one. This is my jam to a T. Lens distortion can make balls appear as ovals and fall out of the bounds of a radius filter of the hough transform applied to circles. For a fixed camera, finding the diamonds in the image can be used to make a transform to...

He has several parked in the corner. He plays with the door open so he has room to cue, but if he needs to shoot next to the door, out come the shorter cues!!

He's since upgraded to a diamond table, better camera, and worked with different camera angles. Consistently putting out over 200 videos per year...

5 years of content Over 1000 videos 99.5% are of him playing solo in an upstairs room of his home 68% he's wearing what passes as pajamas This man is passionate about pool. Chances are high he is a member here...

Well that's pointless...

Found it. This is timestamped right before extension #1

I'm still catching up with old streams, but found several things interesting. One player was allowed to use an extension during 15 second shot clock twice in a row during the same rack. One player made only the 8 on the break and was allowed to continue shooting. That's being discussed in...

nice

You're probably driving and not worrying about transit, but this thread makes me want to mention something fantastic about Chicago. You can fly into either OHare or Midway and for $5 you can get a 24 hour pass that gives you unlimited L and bus rides. You can take the blue line from OHare as...

Hey Muskyed! What's the headstock through bore on the Robust lathe? That's my dream lathe, but it has yet to make sense for me to upgrade. I currently have a 1/2" bore through my headstock and can use my lathe to do tips for 11.8mm and under shafts with a pro taper, nothing larger without...

Let's adjust that number closer to 10...
