07 On the Break

Green Valley, AZ

What surprised me was to see how high the cue ball went after it hit. This one was an "easy" break shot. Another fellow hit it harder, and it rebounded much higher.

Blue cloth = matched our basement's decorating scheme (sorta nautical, so I'm told).
We have a ping pong top for it, which I think is green (I have a poor memory for colors).

I just looked online at pool table suppliers.
You can now determine what kind of surface you want - fast - slow - high volume, etc.
Then you can pick the color out to suit your environment.
So, bottom line, the table color today in the US means nothing.

I'll have to ask the club members why the blue.

Dave. If I remember right (I've not played pool for a long time)... blue cloth = fast, green cloth = normal & red cloth = slow.

Blue pool table. Not weird?

I like it. You've made me want to take the cover off my pool table in the basement. Were you shooting at 10fps, and were these three consecutive shots in the burst? But blue is a weird color for a pool table, isn't it? Or maybe I don't get out enough (I definitely don't get out enough).

Nice trio of shots Jim. I particularly like the first two.
I remember when we in UK used to use the spots and stripes, we now use just red and yellow.

We have a pool table in the basement and I considered using it for a shot but currently it’s covered with other stuff I’m too lazy to move. Paul

Excellent three shots and movements. V
