New Years Resolution

I normally don't make any New Years Resolutions but I think I am going to this year. And that is to not break any more racks of 9B on my Gold Crown IV. I am just sick of all of this. I just broke 26 times (2026) and only had one really good chance to run out. I am going to do nothing but practice (shot making, speed control, etc) until my new Diamond Professional arrives in the next several weeks.

I guess I have finally figured out what the definition of the word Insanity is.

Your level of trolling is next level
 
Quite a few downstairs if you call that trolling. More like a lonely ghei or lesbian whose other don't get it. It's all good. With no more pool rooms, I get the same rush as I over spotted somebody.

What happens if you make balls on the break and still can't runout(guaranteed) what table are you buying then?

I'd suggest a valley BB with the biggest pockets you can find

You're a step ahead of most of us.😉

Reminds me of a long-deceased AZB poster called Old Has Been. Not too long after Mosconi had his world record run of 526, Old Has Been visited the poolroom to see the table on which the run took place. Noting that the pockets were huge, Old Has Been commented that he felt that the most impressive thing about Willie's run was that he never scratched. LOL.
 
You ordered a table?

And I should be more sympathetic - those Gold Crown IVs are notorious for having bad spreads and few options for running out after a 9 ball break - that's why they won't use them for televised tournaments.

It was OS 8 right? That said, aside from not scratching, Mosconi walked into pool halls across the country and ran balls on all tables. 35+ racks, no skids, no frozen cue ball after a break, no cluster that opened wrong, etc…. I’m impressed even if other runs somewhere sometime have been better. And something tells me Mosconi would run racks on this GC4 without much angst.😉

And OHB should be remembered- thanks for quoting him.

Billy Incardona made that very same comment on an Accu-Stats video years and years ago!

Obviously, Mosconi was a stone-cold killer on any equipment. But the recommendation that Dr Cue's Protege find the loosest table possible reminded me of Old Has Been, one of my favorite posters of yesteryear.

I don't need the loosest table possible.

I don't need one that gives up balls on the break.

For the 10,000th time - I NEED A TABLE THAT WILL GIVE ME A RUNNABLE SPREAD AFTER THE BREAK! A TABLE THAT ISN'T JINXED!!!

For whatever the reason my GCIV just never seems to do that. And it's been a problem for the most part for 23 years now as it was delivered in the early part of January of 2003.

FYI, it wasn't my recommendation.
