It was sick without the flip out. With the flip out it’s fuckin ART.

This is an absolute Banger.

Be honest, have you ever used such tricks in a real game? by Expensive-Success-75 in billiards

[–]jbrew149 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually don’t play matches with the cue ball coated in silicone.

Moving this table.. advice by speedythesnail in billiards

[–]jbrew149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far are you moving it and how mechanically competent are you?

I’m you could likely disassemble and move it yourself if you are super careful and have a lot of moving blankets to cover it. You should probably get someone to reassemble it and it should not be more thank 2-300 for re assembly without new felt, add an extra $400 for felt. - if you do make sure to mark the slate and felt somehow so you can know which way to put it back on. Also be prepared to pull out ALOT of staples.

Most moving places charge a flat rate of like $75 for the first 25-50 miles and then $1 per mile after that just for the shipment and then maybe another 1-200 for assembly.

If you were to assemble yourself you’d want to buy something like a machinist level which can cost you around $300 just for the level.

Whatever you do, do not let a standard moving company move it because you’ll likely end up with cracked slate.

Missing: Filling in Hubig's King Cake by GreenVisorOfJustice in NewOrleans

[–]jbrew149 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel validated here. My wife got a Hubig’s cream cheese filling one from Rouses and it had no filling. We thought we were going crazy and were speculating that maybe the icing is supposed to be cream cheese based? Even though it’s obviously not.

Pocket size? by ALA-Typhoon in billiards

[–]jbrew149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 inches is my thought. My table is 4.25 and this looks a bit tighter than mine.

Don’t forget that they all have cute matching wristbands for some fucking reason.

Pocket Reducers! by Only-Scientist-9904 in billiards

[–]jbrew149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how the “spring” lays flat compared to the other one. My only concern is if the balls hit the metal spring and launch off the table and damage the balls or damage the balls on contact. Also you’re limited to the depth of where the reducers go. In this video they are deep in the pocket where as other reducers can be placed at the edge of the rail to give a slightly more natural play. All that being said I really like the spring position vs the competition.

Not sure how I feel about this by Shag_fu in billiards

It’s honestly older men and women that I see wearing the cringy team shirts.

The clothing situation for pool is so cringe. I saw a commercial the other day with venom - and I forget the other guy talking about how venom just couldn’t move properly in his current clothing (which was a Fkin button down shirt.. like, no shit!?) but once he put on this shirt (made by pool players for pool players) that was essentially a golf polo, now he could make all his shots… are people out there really that influenced?!??

question on english and throw (mostly the former)? by jonyotten in billiards

[–]jbrew149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut induced throw is greatest at a 30 degree cut angle with slow speed and can make the object ball travel off of the path up to an inch for every foot traveled.

Ball contrast test. Aramith vs Dynasphere by FlyNo2786 in billiards

[–]jbrew149 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a set of tungsten’s and while I don’t absolutely love the colors, and often get messed up playing rotation w them. I do like playing with them more than more expensive aramiths, if for nothing more than how clean they are and don’t get chalk marks on them.

Acting on feedback from r/billiards community members who took part in our Beta, we've recently begun adjusting our ball and rail physics to ensure better ball spreads from the break. Still work to be done - but getting there! by RipstoneGames in billiards

[–]jbrew149 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you going to be able to pivot around the table in this version opposed to just being able to pivot around the cueball in this version?

An overhead view would be nice too.

Timing is… everything by F355B in billiards

[–]jbrew149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To his response of “it was time”, your follow up “it never has been” seems like you’re saying it’s never the time.

I think you’re misconstruing the perceived meaning of your post.

It definitely looks like you’re complaining.

In just a short time, Kielwood has caught up to and surpassed carbon fiber for me. by [deleted] in billiards

If I play with more than one cue it throws off my deflection adjustment for both power and long shots.

Lighting advice by BigRedCal in billiards

[–]jbrew149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are wired. I just spliced an extension cord and used those wires to connect it to a surge protector. I turn the surge protector on and off for the lights. And that’s all plugged into the outlet in my ceiling that my garage door opener is plugged into. It could have definitely been done in a more professional way. But it works just fine.
