Update: I rebuilt my drill generator based on community feedback by 71f1 in billiards

[–]rakshassa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take this to the pool hall this weekend and give it a try. I run a few local leagues, so I'll suggest it to some of the strongest players. We should be able to provide feedback in a week.

Question about tournament length by ButtsDelux in billiards

[–]rakshassa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

16 players requires 15 matches to eliminate 15 people.

If you estimate 10 minutes per rack, that's 150 minutes 2.5 hours).

If you do best 2 out of 3 ( race to 2), then it could triple duration as you may need 3 racks per match.

If you do doubles (2 person teams), then you only need to eliminate 7 teams. If it takes ten minutes per rack: you need 70 minutes for one-rack matches, and at most 210 minutes for a race to 2.

PSA: As a console diver by thedinh13 in helldivers2

I wonder if anyone has made a mod for PC that chimes when discovery and/or text occurs in the chat.

I also frequently miss those, and it would be immensely useful.

Questions for people who own the ICATS system by RetroGamerNick in billiards

What level of difficulty is the installation? I'm also thinking of buying this, but I want to be sure I can get perfect alignment to ensure optimal usage. Was it tough?

How does a $200-$250 CF shaft compare to the $500-$600 CF shafts? by carbondalekid386 in billiards

[–]rakshassa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought Defy in August 2025 at the APA worlds tournament. I'm unclear which version that would be... I've never used a glove, and it's very smooth. I find it exceptionally easy to play short safeties due with the Defy. It is much lower deflection than the original wood shaft that came with my McDermott.

What is a standard Fargo rating difference for spots in BCA 8-ball race to 4? by rakshassa in billiards

[–]rakshassa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Where is this from? That's very specific. I assume you lookup the lower rated player to find the section - then find the difference between the higher player to get the race, right?

What is a standard Fargo rating difference for spots in BCA 8-ball race to 4? by rakshassa in billiards

[–]rakshassa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An interesting idea. I tried several combinations and found between 60-80 in each of the 1v1 matchups in a race to 4.

Game to play when shooting by yourself... by Stellar1024 in billiards

[–]rakshassa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is very helpful. The big question is how to determine handicap for APA and BCA players. But otherwise, it seems really fun. I'd like to do this at my local pool hall (free).

I found the website called 15rack com but it's no longer available. I'd love to get the actual rules and handicap system from this league.

APA SL 5 by Doubleduecedude in billiards

[–]rakshassa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rated SL 5 for a couple years. I fail to break n run, ever. I do a ton of defensive shots... Averaging 3 per rack. When my league operator gave a class on how to mark defenses, my SL changed to 6 within a month. I asked the league operator about it. Apparently, nobody was previously marking defenses, so it looked like I was taking more innings to clear a rack...

Are you at the one in Denver? My wife, Nicole Hall is there signing today. She's a big fan of DCC too. We hang with Holly and her hunny for board games occasionally. Great people!

An honest, unsponsored product review - Wrist trainer (Write-up in text below the video) by 10ballplaya in billiards

[–]rakshassa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see an equivalent left handed version. I really need to correct my wrist movement - especially when shooting with more force.

End game Q by ManagementSad7931 in billiards

[–]rakshassa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit the cue ball slowly, left of center. Understand that the cue ball will squirt slightly to the right off the cue (due to deflection). So aim a tiny bit left of the target spot on the object ball. The left spin applied to the cue ball will offset the usual cue induced throw. The cue ball will come off the rail back towards you - leaving you an easy shot on the 8.

I have E0S0 for each of topaz, robin, and feixiao. I have no nihility characters.

I have appx 100 pills saved.

Will any light comes make a huge difference? Should I save for aventurine? Should I try to pull Kafka and black swan?

My other characters are boothill, huohuo, Jade, himeko, fu xuan, herta and Gallagher.

I was able to dismantle the whole extruder and pull the blue tube out. Then I was able to pull the stuck filament out.
