Yeah, I wasn't claiming that's the only way for a pool hall to be successful just that that's a sure way for it to be. 👍

It was started by someone commenting that a gouged cf shaft was useless. I said not true some cyanoacrylate and polishing will take care of gouges in cf. In that case sanding/polishing is required.

Sometimes even a fluke isn't really a fluke, it's a calculation. I often choose shots that have a higher percentage of fluking safe if I miss or fluking a different ball in. Hell in the video I posted of the 3 run outs recently, I purposely tried to make a 5 sitting in a pocket while attempting...

I'd even be satisfied if they did like with a time extension and gave one two way call per rack.

Yep, the Johnny Archer classic in 2012 used those jacked up rules, it was pathetic.

If you want the recipe for a successful pool hall it's simple. Have lots of bar boxes, in house league every night you can and Sunday day tourneys and be in a college town for Friday and Saturday nights. If you have the above and properly promote it, you will have a successful pool hall in the...

That's not what I mean. I mean be able to call a carom as a secondary shot ,etc. It doesn't suck it speaks to strategy.

Tenball doesn't need less luck, it needs the ability to call two and three way shots. IMO.

Yep, never think the negative. Always focus on what you want to do never on what you don't want to do, your subconscious just knows that you're focusing on it, not that it's what you don't want to do.

Yes sir, that is exactly what I did.

I just said the following to myself out loud. "That's not 4 inches. That's more like 6 inches. It can't be less than 5". I then measured it and determined that it's 6.25". Then I listened to what I was saying and lol'd. I was referring to a z axis linear rail, nema 23 stepper motor and track...

It's the one your teachers said about you. :)

1.25" is pretty standard but there will always be deviation.

Alcohol or ethanol is about 35% less energy dense, so it requires about 30-35% more fuel for the same power. It's greatest benefit comes from its knock resistance since it is equivalent to abbout 107 octane. This allows for running higher timing and gaining more power without damaging the...

Yeah it all depends on how it's installed and burned in. I always liked to burn it in with starch and MDF. I used to prefer irish linen over anything. Then after I got my McDermott COTY I started to prefer leather. Now I prefer wrapless. Wrapless allows grip with a loose grip allowing the cue to...

Of course climate change is real, but it ain't anthropogenic, not measurably so anyways; hence, the manipulation for agendas.

Maybe. You really would have to sand down into the weave to damage the CF structure. Just getting some CF dust doesn't mean it's damaged necessarily. It also depends how the CF was impregnated and what weave it used.

Yeah thanks, I was referring to the maximum levels. There was a poster here back in the day whose handle was APA7. He epitomized the trope.

Two things, epoxy resin is impregnated into the cf, and when you coat it with CA you're actually sanding or polishing the CA coating rather than the CF. The dangers arise if you break the structure of the carbon fibers themselves. Careful light sanding shouldn't damage them if you apply a...

I can't count the number of times I've missed an easy shot or runout and realized I wasn't focusing on the shot and instead was thinking about, this'll be a 4 pack or I better not miss, or if I make this I'll be guaranteed 5th place. It'll always help to understand that you need to focus on the...
