I'd like to see how 9 ball breaks fresh from a food warmer.

Red chalk runs hotter the other colors.
If you look at the cue ball last you can see sparks. Look closely, focus.

And to be so unaware they’re doing so!
all true bob. but thermometers didnt equalize for a long time so measurements always were questionable. and they took temps under the armpit instead of internally. and had an average of about 2 d variance and averaged that out.
but it has been shown that over time temps have come down some. modern man has evolved from fire breathing monsters to cool cats.

Only if you stare at it. Some kind of Schroedinger effect. Why everybody ignores the stuff.
The billiard players must have thought it made a difference ,the old tables were heated, I think they also tried to keep the balls within a certain temperature,
dyno thread, i learned something
my temp runs a smidge low at 97.5, i'll let my wife continue to think i'm a cool cat

lots of theories on how tempurature effects things. A colder room could make the balls a bit smaller, probably nothing measureable in our eyes. A lower temp could mean higher humidity which slows balls down. So many variables of measurement most of it would be really hard for us to probably measure.
Smart man!!My balls are 98.6f today.
I didn’t read this thread, I couldn’t stand it

Rock it Hu!!!
It's over my head dude.I am glad we got this all figured out
When I was a young man my temperature was 96.8 and my pulse fifty. The doctors said I should live forever. Wrong, it just feels that way sometimes! When I was a young man a new doctor took my pulse and it was idling along the usual fifty beats a minute. He asked me, "are you an athlete?" "Do I look like an athlete?" I had the typical pool player's manly physique. "Do I look like an athlete?" He was embarrassed. "I thought you might be a football player or something."
I dated a girl that was a physical therapist. Never knew how low her blood pressure was, it wouldn't read on most cuffs and it embarrassed her for some reason. Nothing wrong with her, it had been super low all of her life. Mine got super low for a few years, I think the lowest reading was fifties over thirty-nine but sometimes the digital cuff just gave an error message, it said one of us was dead!

Dudes, look it up. Balls are supposed to be about 2° C cooler than the rest of our bodies to promote spermatogenesis. It’s why our nuts are in a ball sack external to our bodies.
One of my teammates uses “BALL SACK!” as an expletive when he misses an easy shot. Pretty funny, actually.

Are you sure he's saying "Ball Sack"? Maybe it's "Balzac," the 19th century novelist. A great writer but notoriously bad billiard player.
Cats are actually warmer than humans, I think around 105 is normal for them, wouldn't that make them toasty cats instead of cool cats??
tables are heated to maintain constant bed/cushion temps.

I apologize for this but I don't know what the difference is on a warm table vs cold. Are the rolls affected? I know it may have an effect on the cushions. Also, what effects does it have on the balls?
temp changes in a pool room NEVER vary enough to make phenolic balls change in ANY way. tables are a different animal altogether. changes in bed/rubber temp. can/do make the balls go short/long off the cushions. that's why all modern 3c tables are heated, to try and keep speed/rebound constant.
