I just found this thread - want to ask if there's any particular cleaner you use? I shoot the Mighty-X drill everyday (less than 100 shots max), and noticed a definitive line pattern starting to show up. Replaced my table cloth just a couple months ago for other reasons but on the new cloth...

Diamond has the 5/16 facings here but 60durometer. The ClassicBilliards one mentioned earlier below by garczar has the 50durometer, but only has the 3/8 option. If I only play 8b,9b etc. (not 1pocket) I think maybe it's not as a big of a deal? I don't recall the last time I aimed for a corner...

According to the description on the diamond site, "If the factory pocket size of your Diamond table currently uses a 3/16" facing, it can be reduced by 1/4" by switching to a 5/16" facing without any modifications to the wood rail. This adjustment will reduce a pro-cut 4 1/2" pocket to a 4 1/4"...

Hmm ok - those only come in 3/8 though and I think I need a 5/16:ROFLMAO:

I've got a pretty new 9" Diamond table with 4.5" pockets, looking to reduce to 4.25" pockets. My options are to get a new set of rails and everything $2800 or buy the Diamond Rail Facing rubber set to REPLACE my existing rail facing. I read several posts on pocket facings and the consensus is to...

Anybody buy this course? I'm interested in any reviews, but have not seen any yet. His other videos are pretty awesome though!

In for the list if not too late! Sign me up for the Free Perfect Aim lesson

Fair enough - this is only slightly bothering me now in practice because repeated hits produces for a clear line that indicates where the cue should land on a follow-through, hence it jumps out that my tip position at the end of follow through is not straight. If it's not really a consideration...

So - the background is that I start off everyday with the Mighty X drill before moving on to shot & position drills. Over the course of several months, I've started to see cue chalk dispersion patterns (see attached pic) that indicate my follow-through is consistently off to the left (I'm a...

I think you're in the situation I showed in my example, having to lose like 75% of your matches to drop. The revealed system doesn't show what 9ball calcs look like but if it's similar then man, that's a lotta losses...

Hmmm I've seen a couple players drop 1 level across the last season, but the highest I've seen was from a 6 to a 5. Too bad I'm not on their team, no visibility into their inning stats :D

I've now had some experience with APA, having played a couple of seasons and want to ask perhaps a dumb question - how do people actually drop SL in APA?! There's numerous posts about sandbagging and handicap manipulation etc. but assuming the bud light...

As titled, looking for a gently used Predator BK Rush

This drill setup is pretty amazing btw, it mimics what I'm having issues with and I can tell if I'm off bc the cue ball hits the rail before the pocket. That said, my straight shot accuracy has yet to catch up to my make rate with a bit of English, but hopefully practice will get there!

Thanks all for the advice! looks like I should not be using English to make balls:D will practice these as regular shots and go from there!

I guess my question is, do people prefer to actively use a hair of English (is this higher percentage) to throw these shots for the small angle, or shoot them normally and just aim better?

Thanks Fran - I'm probably a C+ player, can run a rack once in awhile, and practice a lot of straight in shots (mighty-X drill) so those I'm ok with. It's the very slight angle ones that are giving me fits, if the angle is larger then those are ok too :D

Hey all, want to get your advice - in analyzing my game, one of my biggest issues is with near-straight in shots, at medium to long distance (3+ diamonds apart). These require almost a full hit on the object ball, and they are hard to aim with the ghost ball method. These are the shots with just...

Where did you get the white foam disc? That's what I need to improve my bucket cleaner

Yup, it's a bit shorter than full but it seems the methodology is to start at the head spot so that's where I start as well.
