So the breaker had a 59% win rate in the tournaments used as examples. This makes it sound like alternate break and winner break is somewhat even when it comes to outcome. Is this due to all the break rules that have been put in place over the years? What was the breaker win % without rule...

Well it went a bit further back in 2006 when he posted that. Still not even close to being a hustler. Banging balls into rails until someone asks to play for some cash is a bit closer to the mark. Laying off until the bet gets big is even more devious. I miss defending the local room from road...

Dumb. Ten years ago most every pro played with Masters and you couldn't ask for the ref to clean the ball every other rack mid-game. Some of the newer chalks leave circles on the CB more than Masters ever did. I personally use V10 on my home table because it keeps the bed cloth cleaner but the...

Sorry you trusted the wrong guy. I only know him from tournaments and have never met or played him. As far as loaning out your stuff, I don't see a problem with it. All my customs with maple shafts stay hanging in the closet but I play with Cuetec in public so my good stuff doesn't get...

Alex put a perfect set on Shane the last time they met in a final IIRC. My buddy played Alex in a tourney in Europe while he was there for work. He said he did not miss a single ball and Alex beat him something like 10-5. He can play as well as anyone. As others have mentioned, he's a great guy...

Yikes. Were others around the table within earshot? I can't imagine anyone siting there with a piece of Johnny hearing the opponent say something like that more than once without standing up and doing something about it. Perhaps he should just stick to the UP circus and stay out of the box.

Stop showing off your awesome lights! It's bad enough we have to drool over that polisher you made. Sick.

We're switching from powder coat to anodize going forward due to pricing and lead time. We have a few of each design in powder coat if anyone is interested. $99 shipped to lower 48 until old stock is gone.

Yes, because of the floor. When the table is leveled, one end is higher than the other unless you build up the floor at an angle to cancel out the slant. I have my table in a dedicated room on the first floor now so it is not a problem. I think I'm selling the table soon anyway.

I don't particularly like one end of the table being 1" higher in relation to my body than the other. It changes a lot imo.

Is the floor level? That's the biggest problem with garage pool rooms. Temperature and humidity control being the second biggest.

I obsessed over stuff like this for a long time. Then I watched Soufi run out from all over the table and realized the mechanics do not need to be anywhere near perfect to play professional pool. I then watched an online discussion between pool coaches and one of them mentioned that all your...

Oz has always been a POS. Pool organizations would better serve their members by having nothing to do with him.

For me, the nice hand-made cues have become a liability and therefore collector items only. I don't own any expensive cues (over $2k), but my custom Hearns cues stay in the closet. I had one knocked over and damaged at a pool hall days after I had it refinished and vowed never to take that risk...

I paid a lot more than that for my design patent. Lame.

Let the man rest lol.

Hard to say. I worked with a guy who's father founded a known tool company. The other son found a way to steal the company out from under his father and cut the entire family out somehow. I don't know the details but swore off the brand ever since learning about it. Most every mechanic and...

I put Filler and KPC as the best rotation players on the planet. The other games have many in the running IMO.

True but he could also be the next Corey. Few wanted to gamble that kid when he hit the scene. Like you said, we won't know how the story ends until it does. No other young player in the states is currently showing as much promise. I hope he keeps it together and becomes the next Captain America.

The young man has terrific rhythm, tempo, and composure. His future looks very promising.
