    Table Unlevel for second time

    I feel like an unbelievable idiot, but I'm fairly certain the issue is the floor. It's not even remotely level, and placing a pool ball one the floor at foot of the table causes it to roll freely to the head. As an engineer, I should know better. I imagine the problem has been getting worse over...

    Table Unlevel for second time

    Could be - It's a Southern Legacy with Backed slate and the frame seems to be well supported. I checked with a couple of professionals before I bought it, and was told it was a good table for the money. I realize it's not a Diamond, but it shouldn't be falling out of line after 2 months. I'm...

    Table Unlevel for second time

    Just a renter, so unfortunately I have no idea. This is on the bottom floor of a two story house with no basement.

    Table Unlevel for second time

    Hi all, Not sure how much advice can be given about this, but I'd appreciate anything I could get. I had a table professionally installed about 6 months ago. My mechanic has some super high end level and sure enough everything rolled right for about 4 months and then I started a getting...

    You'll find Danny in Buffalo. I was a regular where he's the house pro at Classic Cue billiards. I was just chatting with him ast week before I moved to Texas.

    Mechanic in Austin?

    Hi All, I just moved to Austin, and I'm looking at buying my first table. 9 footers are a bit scarce out here, I haven't found anyone that will move one, and my room is slightly too small 16x18, so I think I'm going to go with a used 8ft off craigslist. I'm looking for someone to do a...

    Moving to Austin

    A single incident seems like a good way to judge an entire city. Where did this happen?

    Moving to Austin

    Thanks Luke. I'll definitely look up Rod Gustafson. Mr Nobody, I've heard Clicks mentioned quite a bit, I'll definitely check them out too. I'll likely be moving to north austin, near the round rock area. I hear a lot oabout this place called G Cue. Any thoughts on that place?

    Moving to Austin

    I'll be moving to Austin, TX at the end of the month, and I'm hoping to find some guidance. I finally got a good job, so I'll be looking to get my first table and also try to improve my game through more formal instruction. there seems to be a lot of pool halls in the area, so any guidance...

    Play Great Pool: Stance Trouble

    It's pretty clear I don't understand it correctly so, I don't want to misrepresent what's described - you should probably read it for yourself as you might understand it more clearly. That said, my take-away was that the ideal technique has the foot up to, but not over, the shot line. My usual...

    Play Great Pool: Stance Trouble

    I just requested to join the group - Thanks John! It's a great book - for all the money people spend in pool related ways, this has to be a top value for dollar item. As far as the stance is concerned, I'm used to putting my right foot on the shot line, but the methods taught here are a bit...

    Play Great Pool: Stance Trouble

    First off, Mark & Don did an incredible job with this book. In reading the stance section, I've noticed things about my current stance that inhibit my follow through and am trying to adopt the stance Mark presents. However, I am finding it to be the most difficult thing I've ever done in pool...

    So, "bar cue" style then? I couldn't imagine playing with something that thick as my everyday cue.

    Shooting Right Handed With a Dominant LEFT EYE

    Given this information, I've found my vision center to be at the inner-most edge of my left-eye (as a right-handed shooter). I've been working on trying to find an appropriate way to address the shot so that I can drop down on my visual center instead of adjusting my head while down on the...

    Shooting Right Handed With a Dominant LEFT EYE

    I've been struggling with feeling comfortable in my sighting for over a year. I'm right handed and left-eye dominant. I've been able to improve my stoke to shoot straight consistently, though when doing straight ball drills, I still find myself putting right english on what I think are straight...

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    Then standardize the rack and quit crying. This whole conspiracy stuff is BS. Who's to say it wasn't just his way of doing it?

    Corey's done it again, this time with 8b.

    This whole thing is silly. If the guy figured out an order to put the balls in, that combined with a certain break, it's complete skill & cunning that causes him to win. Say what you will, but to call it "cheating" is ludicrous. Putting aside that fact that true random doesn't exist (random...
