I’m building a shop/pool room. It’ll be finished in 2 to 3 months. I have nowhere to store the table I’m getting other than outside. It’s a 7 foot valley bar box.
I have a tractor but had recent shoulder surgery so the plan is to store it in playing position (felt up) on risers so that there’s no ground contact. My plan is to Saran Wrap (industrial wrap) it then tarp the crap out of it. It’ll be next to a wall to shelter it from the prevailing winds. I’m in a high plains desert so very little chance of moisture.
Thoughts or suggestions?

Which modern player would you say has the simplest and most effective stroke?

Probably the same answer, but who would you suggest a new player try to mimic stroke-wise?

In my opinion, the answer to both is Joshua Filler, but I’m curious about what you guys think.

I started playing 3 weeks ago. First week was just playing sloppy. Now I can’t stop looking at YouTube videos, going to my local bar often only to play pool.

It somehow is saving me from alcoholicism as I want to take the game more seriously. I’ve been drinking much less and less.

What about for you?

I recently bought a used Revo from a friend who fixed the vault plate but didn’t install a tip pad on it.

My question is if it’s really necessary to replace it?

Also it seems like some tips come with a pad installed like a Tiger Onyx or Kamui Clear. Would just using those tips work or do I actually need the pad?

any niche, not so common tips you have for an amateur player? my boyfriend plays competitively and he's handed down a few tips that i know i'd only hear from him but it made me realize every player must have their own uncommon tips that others might not have heard of.

Hey guys, been looking at the EBR cues and haven’t really found much info on them I’m thinking about picking one up anyone have experience with these? How do they compare to predator cues and shafts? Thank in advance guys!

I am considering making an investment into my game by purchasing the Break Rak. It is a small fortune, but before I spend the money, I would love to hear if other people have used this product and if it in fact improve their breaking. If you have used this, would you mind sharing some of your experience and how you used it and measured improvement?

I habitually overcut balls. I always think I need to cut the object more than I do. My brain sees a cut shot, and it tells me to get less of the object ball than what‘s necessary. Aby ideas why this has been plaguing me for so long?
