The best today imo are whoever tops the 9 ball list.

Idk. Just to reiterate this is from the local promoter, so each qualifier will probably have a different format, pay structure, etc. Here is the fb group if you’d like to contact directly. The TD’s name is Frank. He does a nice job and I play in a lot of his events. The room has GC’s and they...

The dress code is this promoter’s standard code for all of his events. It’s not from MR.

For this one it’s 2 if 32, 4 if 64. 128 max field, but does not explicitly state 8 if 128. Idk if this was determined by the local Philly promoter or by MR. Yes, those who qualify will have the $750 entry paid.

I'm very pro Emily, however, this events on this list mostly existed before WNT. Where are all the new events?

The first qualifier (that I saw) is in Philadelphia's Bluegrass Billiards. Copy/paste from the FB page: PA Pro-Am presents the Matchroom US Open Qualifiers. This event is sanctioned by Matchroom Sports. Players who qualify will receive paid entry into the 2024 Matchroom US Open Pool...

Pat could have been a legit touring pro. He worked at USPS, and when gambling, the line was "the mailman always delivers". Make no mistake, to win ANY division of the Hopkins expo, you need to be a 700+. I can't be certain, but I believe the "Open" has a limit on skill, while the Seniors and...

I played on a bunch of 8' GC5's in a room in Atlanta. They played perfect, the same as the GC4 and earlier GC's. The aesthetic of the 5 is my personal favorite out of GC1 through GC6, but of course that is personal preference. Matte black with the nickel trim. I'd definitely get one if the...

Those fit and finish issues have been around for 50 years, however. It's about the only bad thing about the GC line. Too bad they never corrected it:(

Don't waste your time, you are a player. Just buy a used one. The people who have built tables on YouTube are all bangers and made bad playing tables. Here is another way to thing about it. You are in product development and know this. No matter what someone is designing, it takes MANY...

Yes. Practice the break that way. When you miss, just take ball in hand and continue the rack until the 9 is made.

What do you think your complete set is worth? I’m not sure if they are in demand and would sell for more than brand new centennials, or very few people want them and they’d sell for less.

Unless this set is very sentimental to you, you'd be better off buying a complete replacement set, then trying to find 5 missing balls.

Unless it's a Diamond brand, which uses an optical sensor to detect the white color of the CB, the CB on other coin-op brands is different than the OB's. There are 3 ways: Heavier CB, larger CB, or a standard sized CB with a magnet embedded inside of it. Try using an OB as a CB (striking other...

Dedicated carom players have specialized cues. But pool cues work fine! Just go play it.

Throw 3 balls on the table and run them out in numerical order. Do it over and over. That’s the crux of 9 ball. Planning 3 balls ahead. Also the most fundamental concept in position play is to leave yourself an angle. That enables you to move the CB anywhere on the table. You almost never want...

Also on the professional side of pool, it’s all 9 ball (and occasionally 10-ball, which is basically the same game just with an additional ball). 8 ball is only played 1 tournament each year: the 8 ball WPA world championship.

The shots are more fun and skillful (generally). 8 ball is more about picking the best patterns with simpler shots. 9 ball forces you to play fancier shots because the order of the balls on the table will dictate that the CB has to fly around to get to the next ball. There are definitely...

Are you playing on a coin operated table with a bigger/heavier cb? If so, everything will be off.

I’ll be the first to ask: Why are you after this list?
