Like: "Shoot hard and sleep in the street." Less effective since fewer players are playing for their room rent these days.

Gerson MARTINEZ BOZA 4 --- 6 Hayden ERNST (The scoring page is nonintuitive.)

Well, he did cross most of the important parameters off the list of things to consider, so the question doesn't mean much. Here's my suggestion: A 12 mm stainless steel tube I once got a 5/8-inch solid aluminum rod and put a tip on it. Hit the ball a ton, but I couldn't get used to the cue...

That would be Gavin Ray Mathew from Frisco, TX. I'm guessing we'll see him in the US Open. And speaking of kids who have no respect for their elders:

To compare, I think it makes sense to go by % of ball width that the tip represents. For Gary: 9mm/52.5mm = 17% For a 12mm pool shaft: 12/57.15 = 21% So, a 12mm pool tip looks bigger on the ball than a 9mm snooker tip.

On a related note, the last two world snooker champions are young Chinese players (22 and 29). When the Chinese OG (Ding Junhui, now 39) was in the finals of the World Championship, a reported 100,000,000 Chinese were watching (2016). But.... According to a friend of mine who sells a lot of...

I don't know if I'm more mature, but I am slower.

Bump for new info

I still have one of these available.

I still have multiple full years available. $50 plus shipping per year.

Well, yes, but what diameter of tip?

The most accurate potters seem to be the snooker players. What kind of shafts do they use?

I think the balls are separated by the right distance at which the path of the cue ball does not tell you which ball was struck first. In any case, I think the order of hit is at least uncertain from the video. If Jasmin called it bad, which I did not hear, then I'll have to agree with her...

At 9-ball, if there are gaps in the correct locations in the rack, the 9 ball will move directly towards a corner pocket. Usually, a template rack eliminates nearly all movement on the 9, except due to kisses.

How about following the 15 in on one cushion?

The game/simulator Virtual Pool includes a carom mode. The physics is pretty realistic. You may want to compare shots between your simulator and VP. One thing I noticed immediately in your diagram is that the paths of the balls appear to be straight. Balls do not travel in straight lines...

I'm pretty sure the 9 is blocking that bank. I'd guess that you have to hit within two balls of the upper right pocket to make the two-rail, and the 9 looks like slightly more than two from the cushion. The first rail is going to put the wrong (left) spin on the ball.

Whether it can be made or not depends a lot on the table. On many tables you will never get the correct angle off the second rail. Maybe your table is one of those. Mark the balls very carefully and repeat the shot. Try nothing, left, and right. I think the best speed is just a little harder...

Well, do they do that by license plate? Do rentals count? Or is it just for guests at the hotel?

Yes. It might go in after the 15. At the same time, leave the cue ball frozen to the near cushion to be as safe as possible.
