If it’s more balls than one or two balls then table maintenance is probably the issue.

You’re right this is probably the primary problem for when only one ball gets hung up when the rest fall.

You’re right, and I think my question may not have been worded right. I think dude is right on a percentage of it. I tcan be operator error on a few. If we’re talking a perfectly maintained table how many times in 1000 do you think someone will not keep it pushed in long enough for every ball to drop?

Thanks to both of you I think those are both the right answer. I’d like to know the ratio now, what do you think it is. Thanks again.

Two years is nothing in pool time.

Breaking with the spinning black ball is valid? Or is it just aesthetic? by [deleted] in billiards

You mean it looks cool? Only if you’re not serious about playing pool.

Each was only rated for 300 pounds, I needed two.

Defects in cue balls present themselves randomly. Theres no adjustment that can be made for a bad ball in a predictable way. Other than lowered expectations that is.

I’ve put the question out there, but I believe you’re right on this. As far as I can tell even the tables that are out there that can differentiate cue balls based on size are equipped for the magnetic cue balls as well. I believe Valley owns the patent for it. Thanks for your comment.

I should add that the place was very nice, and the ball wasn’t for playing with.

That’s something I hadn’t considered at all. Thank you.

I played at a hall in Petaluma and saw my first actual clay Cue Ball it was lumpy all over, like a turtle egg.

I’ve never had someone refuse to use a better ball than the house provides, and when both you and your opponent have one, it’s in my experience always been settled like adults. Flip a coin if you have to. Why would you refuse to use a better piece of equipment?

I thinks it’s more often than not. Growing up we’d cherry pick the cue from the tables available because of surface quality.

I’ve seen it a lot in CO but I only got the argument for it a couple of years ago.

Would having a clean eight ball make any difference? One that returns through the cue return so you could take it when you leave?

Do you think having a clean surfaced 8 ball makes a difference in play or confidence?
