That’s well known that the cut angle can be measured by the geometric ghost ball position, or the OB position. Normally it doesn’t matter and I think in most cases people go by the OB position. It does matter for cases like extreme cuts. Both ways to measure the “90 deg” are so thin, I think it...

Just popped up on my Amazon for $30. My vote is the Bitman guy was the first to find them from China and had the Chinese factory put his name on them, and he is charging $500. Now, the original factory is selling them for normal costs of $30 retail...

Careful, you are drawing lines like the science guys! :):):)

There is zero on my post that was not factually correct. DCP is now armed with factual answers. For the blue label, I did say "Although not nearly enough, IMO". IMO being the key word. I never claimed to be a great player, or even an also-ran. I disagree that Diamonds are less sensitive to...

You've been arguing the wrong thing for 15 years. Whether the frozen to the rail shot in your 3 shot pool table video was hit rail first or OB first. No one really cares about that. What we care about is "for a shot in the open, not anywhere near a rail, can you cut it over 90 deg with inside...

I may be mistaken, but I believe the various phenolic materials used for break tips were all similar. The phenolic is like an epoxy used to make the material, and the filler could be various things, such as paper, canvas, fiberglass, etc. Those filler materials were what made the "grain" on the...

Slightly off topic, when I first moved to Atlanta in 2009, the main action room was called xyz (I forgot now the name, long since closed) Billiards. There was a loaded sucker that lived near it that would bet 20k sets on the regular. Tons of pros and road players would be there. I went to check...

Appropriate for this thread!

These would pair perfectly with a CF shaft: https://www.bellforestproducts.com/hand-pick/view/162169/ https://www.bellforestproducts.com/hand-pick/view/162231/

In your 1992 carom video, the starting positions of the white and yellow are fine. BUT, you didn't cut the yellow anywhere close to 90 degrees. Instead, you BANKED the yellow to the first diamond on the short rail. So it's actually immaterial if you went ball first or rail first. (I do think you...

Black label was just a customer option of the label color. I think very rarely did customers request that. It was around in both the red and blue days. Red and blue were the standard (of each time period). If it's a table pre-2010 with a black label, it means it a red-label rail design. If it's...

Bill, with all due respect, you've been showing this same video for 10-15 years on here. Every time, people think you hit it rail first, and you end up arguing with everyone. Even Incardona from the best of my recollection when you showed it on the onepocket.org forum thought you hit it rail...

The change from the blue pointed logo to the blue oval logo was just a logo change. The pointed logos were more difficult to install, and I believe some were also cracking in the field. There was no design change to the table itself that corresponded to this logo change. But correct, the blue...

I think unless you measured the set when new, it’s not possible to conclude the cb is lighter now due to wear. It could have been just part of the standard deviation.

Since day 1, Diamond cushions have played like shit. They bounced the ball harder than every other table, and the rebound angle was more acute (shorter) than any other table. You may have seen my posts over the years calling Daimond tables pin-ball machines. This was from their start in about...

Crical Pro1 on Amazon. $110 for the whole cue. Its really nice. Here is my youtube review on it:

I had the same type of cue case when I bought my first custom cue (a Meucci) in 1996. I noticed the hinge screws were popping out and put a couple of paper towels in front of them to protect my cue. I used that case off and on for 15 years and the towels worked perfectly. Sounds like the buyer...

The workaround I found in Jan was to paste the google sheets data into chatgpt, and ask it to convert for bbcode formatting. I've been using it in the 2026 ghost threads successfully.

Do you think Shaun shot it with center ball? I couldn't tell.
