Here is my setup. I copied DCP's diagram as closely as I could.

Duplicate posting this in here since it's using the DigiBall. The DigiBall helped me figure out this tricky position play from this thread: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/how-do-you-get-out-here.576934/post-8165112

I tried all the options in this thread. Nothing came remotely close to the position this option got. It took me 20 min of practice to get it (that time is including trying the other options), but once I did, I got perfect postion 9 out of 11 times. These last 11 trials are without edit, just...

Nice! You've seen all of RKC's youtube videos, correct? He has all the techniques for simonis cloth and Diamond tables. (and other tables).

Nice! This is the first time I've seen the complete rules anywhere. Thanks, ha ha. Do you by chance have any 8 ball pro-tournament data played on a 9' GC, which would have similar pockets to this table?

I just set up the shot on my table (didn't shoot). I really think this diagramed version is possible, now that I'm standing at the table. The 8 may have to be a bit fuller and closer to the rail though. This shot is super common in 3 Cushion. I carefully marked the table with donuts and I'll...

Incase you are buying used online, stay away from old Cuetech Propel jump cues. The finish was bad on the shafts. It was a coated finish and didn't slide easily. The new one as of about 1 or 2 years ago was redesigned and is great.

Are you going to keep the Diamond the original oak color? It's just solid wood, you can refinish it to something else if you like. I've always liked a matte black finish, or a white. But to each his own.

He's in the system. Extremely active. Current rating of 653 with 5996 robustness. If his prime was in the 70's and 80's, that would make him well into his 60's or 70's today. So was probably a 700 player 40-50 years ago.

Highly recommend for humid rooms. It made a world of difference in that room, and I doubt it was anywhere near as humid as your room.

You said in an earlier post "starter rating of 397". If you have a 0 here, you do not have a starter rating. If you have a number here, you do. If you have a starter rating, your rating will move slower until you get to the 200 games and the starter rating goes away entirely. Here is a former...

Sounds normal. It will move a mile until you get to about 100 robustness. I'd recommend you pay the $12 per year to see exactly which matches made it into the FargoRate app, if you really want to be serious about tracking it.

Off topic, did you ever try 760 on your table? It's way better for humid conditions. My home pool room in philly was next to a creek, and partly below grade (basement of a commercial building on a hill). The room was always humid. The owner had 760 on it for 30 years. He'd change the cloth every...

I actually wonder if 760 would be better for a Diamond, since its rails are usually considered faster than other tables. The bed speed would more closely match the rail speed. I've never played on a Diamond with 760, but have played on dozens of Gold Crowns with 760 (and 860 of course).

Nice find. My hometown room had 760 for decades and all the players loved it.

99.9% he’s ghosting you because the cue is not ready. The contact info you have I’d bet large is still good.

According to internet folklore, and the Beard's book, it might be Artie Bordenforder. I have no first hand knowledge:)

I actually had the shot I diagrammed come up almost exactly a couple weeks ago on a streamed match. Here is me shooting it in that match. 10 second clip. 7' Diamond, 860 or 860 HR (I'm actually not sure). I hit it a bit too hard for the situation I was in. Its quite an easy shot, imo, and I like...

Yeah, and I think usually 55" or 56"? I forget. Now that you say that, I can't think of any carom brands that had a 3/8-10 pin. Schuler was the main one in the USA, and he had his proprietary joint. The carom specific brands usually had a wooden pin. Maybe email Schmelke and have them make you...

McDermott butts are all 3/8-10. Might find something used on ebay that looks decent for not much money. They had a lot of pretty cues over the years. I think you'd need to have a local cue maker change out either the shaft for butt rings if you wanted a true match.
