Well so much for waiting til payday. I saw them yesterday and figured if they were still there I would get them tomorrow. 🤣 🤣 🤣 :)

My wife had some kind of true color type bulbs she used for crafting/sewing and such. They are LED and they look really good on a pool table. I honestly can't remember the name but they sell them at hobby lobby and also most big box stores.

1: This isn't meant as shade but this means it's not a table problem. I'd suggest either getting an in person coach or at minimum talking to good breakers at a pool hall and ask them for tips or to explain how they are getting good spreads. 2: As the cloth gets worn/dirty they can hang more...

I'd honestly report this to the organization. This isn't how the game is meant to be played and I'm sure they wouldn't want bad experiences like this to taint their name/brand. 20 minutes isn't long enough to outrun a handicap meant for 30 minute matches, and they are delivering a shitty version...

Sorry you had a bad experience. I've never heard of a 20 minute match clock, not saying it couldn't have happened but I've only seen 30 minutes on any UPLUSA events or leagues. If it really was a 20 minute match and they didn't adjust the handicap then you got royally screwed. The handicap is...

This forum needs archived.

Yeah, I really don't get the focus on it. I mean, you could potentially get some really bad player trying to slop, but they will get beat badly anyway. In reality, slop is rare, I think out of last Tuesday's match slop may have happened 3 or 4 times out of 2.5 hrs worth of play. We all get a...

I play in UPL and I absolutely love it. Great format, lots of excitement. The ruleset actually makes a ton of sense once you see how it all fits together. An example, on break you have to have "3 points" meaning a combination of pocketed balls and balls past the center line of the table. If...

The original seller had a huge clearance of his remaining stock years ago. I don't remember the exact time but it was probably around 2005 or so. I really doubt it will be easy to find a set. In all honesty the balls were not high quality, the star/stripes and etc were good, molded in but the...

Does he ever leave his drink unattended? :unsure: Just kidding! 🤣 Honestly if you're close FR and both play the game that's kind of the expected results. Shore up your banking game, watch older 1P matches as they are different from the "explosive" 1P played today. Buy 1P books and practice...

That scratch was there since the beginning of time.

I don't know about Brunswick but on an Olhausen the leather can get "cut" where balls contact the back of the pocket if you shoot hard a lot. The leather gets crushed/cut between the CB and the pocket iron. I had this issue with a used table, luckily I noticed and read about it before it started...

I don't see how aiming could be a reason to visit that many instructors. Don't get me wrong, I'm a nobody, you could probably thrash me on the table, but the topic doesn't seem complicated enough to warrant that many visits to instructors. Am I missing something? Do you just like learning about...

Want to know a secret about breaking from your CB location? Forget the rack exists and aim for the 3rd diamond on the end rail, the one nearest the left pocket. Slight pop break, you want the CB to come back about a foot. You can also fine tune other breaks by aiming at different balls in the...

If I'm not being lazy I will crouch/squat down and look at the OB into the pocket line on anything but dead easy shots. It helps. I can't help but think the act of standing up and seeing the perspective change helps avoid optical illusions. The more info you give your brain the better it can...

Correct (see edit at end). Once I see the rebound angle there's little point in looking at the rail. I'm already in line in my stance and the CB will go where I stroke it. I find it much more beneficial as far as speed control, spin transfer, shortening and lengthening the angles. I'd say on 1...

No I mean the OB. YMMV but it works a treat for me.

Good posts. IMO systems can get you in the ballpark. But if you seriously watch and analyze what happens when you kick or bank and you will very soon be playing by feel, and at a very high level. The thing it, most people when not great at either will be tentative as hell. They usually either...

Lol why did you have to call me out like that? ;) I try like hell not to have to but I get out of shape more than I'd like to admit. The bright side is it has helped me practice my shotmaking skills! :ROFLMAO:
