I found this app while searching for an Android snooker score keeping app. It's really quite good, and connects to a database, so you can view all kinds of stats about your game, and compare yourself with others worldwide. It's £9.99 per annum for Premium membership, which I did; I think...

What's better? I confess the Centennials have a lot of appeal for me, and seem like the "right" balls for my Gold Crown table. But, I'd really like to know which are better, will hold up better, maybe play better? They're not too far apart in price; best I've found so far is $336 for the...

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere. I presume this is Billy Thoorpe they're referring to:

Want to buy or borrow the two Simonis cloth installation DVDs.

I noticed that a couple of the corner pockets rattle out balls apparently more frequently than before. Could this be due to loose rail bolts? What's the torque spec for the rail bolts? Thanks, jv

Greetings, still a new pool player, despite my advanced years. I just received my first break/jump cue and I don't know where to start. I got the Lucasi L-2000JB Break Jump Cue. (I ordered it from billiards.com; was $266 on Jan 10th when I ordered it, now it's up to $329, so I guess I lucked...

Greetings mechanics, I've never recovered a table before, but I'm quite mechanically inclined, and I've seen it done. :) I prefer the glue method to staples for the bed. Is it wise for an amateur to proceed this way? What's the best available set of instructions for recovering? Thanks, jv...

I looked just now and there are a lot of snooker scoreboard apps! I'm thinking of a wall bracket for my 10" Samsung android tablet, and using an app. First couple I tried are a bit lame. Is anyone aware of a survey of those apps to identify the best among them? If you're using one or more...

I have a Woods snooker cue, ash wood, I imagine, that has a bit of a warp near the tip. Can someone straighten it out for me? Thanks, jv

Whne one is building a Gold Crown I, how is the base frame leveled, and how level should it be? I'm planning on tearing down and rebuilding my Gold Crown I since it was assembled so poorly by the movers, and supposed mechanics. Once I get down to the base frame, how long a straight edge will...

Question for the experts. Background: I can see and feel through the cloth on my Gold Crown I that there are imperfections in the interface of facing to rubber/subrail. I am planning on recovering. Is there a compound, like a rubber material that sets, that can be sanded or ground to a...

Hi guys, I need six (6) of the original Gold Crown I rail bolts. They are 3/8-16 x 2" slotted head hex bolts. Yes, they are probably rusty, that's the way I like them! Willing to pay a reasonable price plus shipping. Regards, jv p.s. Trent, I sent a PM to you on this, I guess you're...

Greetings, I confess I'm not a fan f these "help me decide" threads, but here I find myself. I want a break cue. I like the Lucasi L-2000JB, which I can get at a good price. I also am attracted to the McDermott NG01 "Stinger." That said, I could always put a break tip on one of the shafts...

Came across the Lucasi L-2000JB. Seems like it's been around for a while but still available new. It's really difficult to find info on Lucasi cues - I haven't found a company website yet. Anyone have one of these, or opinions on it? Thanks, jv

No longer needed, thanks.

Don't know where to post this, so here goes. Starting about an hour ago, when I click "post reply" on a thread, or switch to advanced mode from a quick reply, I get a blank screen where the text box, etc., is supposed to be. On a Mac, tried both Safari and Chrome browsers, same result...

I have a relatively new snooker cue, the shaft of which has developed a slight warp. I think it's made of Ash. Can this be straightened, I mean, is this something a cue maker can do for me? Thanks, jv

Open table, player sinks his called ball but scratches, is the table still open?

Looking for a BreakRAk break training device for a 9' table.

Wondering what's preferred by the pro's: gum tragacanth, beeswax, saliva, or something else?
