Shouldn't this be in the NPR forum?I stay home and play with myself
That is why I stay home and play with myself...
Ive been to places where i get a rack and it will have like some aramith balls some centenial balls and some chinese balls all in one rack lol
That is why I stay home and play with myself...why would I leave my house to pay money to play on inferior tables with worse balls and crappy racks and chalk that shoulda been thrown away long ago while I listen to awful music and pay too much for a drink or 9?
And then I have to fade all you humans too?
Brutal.
Ever consider bringing your own set?
Super common, basically pool halls seem to fall into two categories... "the owner shoots and gives a shit" or "the owner is not a player and just doesn't care". The first type has uniform sets, the second type will usually have several bad sets mixed with barbox balls or another brand.
Our league hall is the 2nd type and one set has a barbox cue ball mixed with the regular balls. I absolutely hate that.
This can work, but....Ever consider bringing your own set?

I think the cloth is much more the culprit than the ball being struck. As chalk goes into the cloth, it becomes like sand paper (chalk is mostly ground-up sand). Between when a ball is hit and when it starts rolling smoothly on the cloth, it is sliding. That means its surface is rubbing against the sand-paper-cloth.It's my understanding that the balls being repeatedly slammed into like the one are usually the first ones to wear down and get smaller in size. A local place I play has centenial balls that are at least 20 years olds and so worn out you cant get a tight rack for shit.
