Mighty x drill leaving mark on cloth

[garczar]

I think it does affect play, but not in a physical way, it gives a visual aid. A kind of guide line. I use to play snooker at a friends house growing up. He was lucky enough to have a father who was a coach and had a table in the garage. Had some of my highest breaks on that table, and I always attributed it to using the lines which resulted from hours of him coaching students as an assist. Certainly played better on his Riley than I ever did on the Burrough & Watts at the club my dad plays at.

Been at this 40+ yrs and have never heard anyone say that burn-marks were a aiming/playing aid. Where do people get this stuff??

You can't see how these lines running from corner pocket to corner pocket could be used to aim? Okay....

Years ago, when trying JoeyA's 'power stroke drill' I wore bad tracks into the cloth and
eventually just had to replace the cloth..... AND the cueball. lol

I would say, variability is the answer. JMHO

On a snooker table/chinese-8 table, the wear marks certainly make the table play differently, as it creates channels in the nap. As a teenager, those lines did me a world of good.

I think he just gets on one sometimes, let him grumble himself out. He's nice enough usually haha

For $444, I guess I’ll live with the lines a bit longer.
