Nice! Part of the break is reading the rack. The people who complain about being asked to rerack for an opponent are the same people who complain about their opponent taking too long to shoot. It is all about impatience as an outlet for poor stress management, where pool itself is a game...

If we want to be absolutely ridiculous and chic about racking balls, then under the cloth we can drill 15 small holes in the slate, and then fill them with retracting steel pegs. The holes under the cloth are present when racking, like a template, and after a break the holes fill and disappear...

He has an entire CNC workshop setup, but it might be in his basement. BitmanWood is a family business making modern and practical things that people need to make their life more organized. Working with furniture already for 30+ years. Space Saving Furniture, Modern Furniture, Kitchen, Living...

Looks like he runs a small company in Latvia making laminated furniture, which explains the Swedish style space saving theme. Very hard to produce products with competitive prices in this market space world-wide, and maybe his sales are better locally. The pool rack is a product made using his...

just finished my prototype. It uses ultra-violet light to equalize the surface energy of the balls so that there is zero net dipole repulsion at the contact points. It also makes espresso. It is on sale for 1 nuclear arsenal but the price may go up before Christmas. No shifting, no hustle.

Worn-in marketing

Another excellent points game was American Rotation. I am still disappointed to ended up losing momentum. Great inventor and mentor. I was on one of the leagues for a year or two.

Can you expose this feature so that I can test it?

OP, can you use your algorithm to both measure cut angle of the object ball? I am assuming you are using optical flow and homographic progression. I’ve tried this a few times and I am not as great at image signal processing as I am with hardware stuff. Your system looks promising for this, and...

I am glad you are working in your approach. I assume you are posting here because you are looking for feedback. I think you need to figure out a clear pre-shot routine in very discrete steps. You are constantly calculating and feeling the solution out at all times, which is why you are using...

It depends on the notation, like Calories and calories. A small jewett is 0.5 and an equivalent big Jewett is 0.005.

Me too

I am getting rot_decel x pi x ball_diameter / (4 x table length). This matches your numbers, so the numbers in my video are wrong. Should be around -0.27 rps/s, which is close to 0.5%-jewetts. I'll fix the error! —note to self: forgot to scale by N/timescale — ok, video has been corrected!

If you can produce a constant or equation than I can add an option to display with that value also

My pool secret… real practice sucks. It is exhausting and hurts your brain, it isn’t fun and it makes you want to do something else. Pros suffer through it because of pure passion, while it is a brick wall to leisure/lore mentality.

I guarantee you the OP cooks the spirit of God out of his eggs. An English chef once told me Americans are complete psychopaths for eating solidified yolks. Soft boiled farm eggs are the best.

I didn't know that blue circles specifically had cores but I did know that many do. I've also seen broken balls myself with OB cores like shown above. Good points above. I was thinking in terms of pure material but the idea of adding fillers to match densities is perfectly reasonable and...

You would need to use a filler in both materials to bring them to exactly to 1.72 g/cm3 or the ball won't be regulation-weight.
