True, but conditions in very dry climates like here in the high desert of Colorado change quickly/Quickly as do table play conditons when a front moves thru quickly, hell even after a cold dry snow, when it starts melting quickly, play conditions change Dramatically. Dry air when compared to damp air is like night and day when outside weather changes are coming in.
The only event I ever won when all the pros were also in attendance, as it was just after Reno, was in Palm Springs in Summer of 89. When I arrived that summer it was Well over 118 plus degrees. with a high of 123...that was back in the day when Jeff Carter was touring/playing well and had a White Toyota van to sleep in. Since it was ninety five degrees before sunup he had to rent a room
.
I also remember years ago a pool room in MN, they used the Willards Ball Cleaner after EVERY use of a ball set, it was automatic. Back then williard used a Wool pad, boy did that make the Centennials Porus. After two hours of play the balls were sooooooooooooooo Dirty, I could wipe and create a noticeable clean line on em with a wet finger. These were the most porus balls I've ever played also, played once at a room with centennials that were too old/played out and lost their elasticity, boy did they play different.
Being in the the Palm Springs desert they had swamp coolers, so by noon they Ran full tilt moisture into the ballroom, conditions changed EVERY hour. It got tooooooo hot/humid in the ballroom in the finals with the crowd....I had to dbl dip my opponent, we got a fifteen minute break between matches. I ran up to my room, took a cold shower, left my hair wet, went back into the ballroom and finished my business. Moisture, dirt and four days of play, conditions are Always in constant change, but those swamp coolers when they kicked in WOW.:yikes:
