Just got done racking and breaking racks of 9-Ball on my Gold Crown IV. I counted and I broke 44 racks and only had three decent chances to run out. I got out once and hosed up the two others.

This has been going on for years and years and years. I know you posters are sick and tired of hearing it. But I've just about reached my wits end with this GCIV. It has to be a bad breaking table. And even when I did make a ball almost every time I had a real bad spread, literally no chance at all.

I guarantee you that if my renters decide they don't want to renew my upstairs apartment above my garage for storage next year I am going to get a Diamond Professional table. I've just had it with this GCIV. And yes, like I said in the other thread, that means I will have two home tables. Once I convince myself the Diamond Professional is a better playing table I will either just keep both or try and sell the GCIV.

Stay tuned...........

Wood rack or template? If you aren't firing the wing ball in with a template rack, I would switch to another version. Fedor's new rack is pretty good.

Agreed that 3 looks out of 44 breaks is not very promising, but it also seems statistically improbable. What do you mean "3 decent chances to run out."? What about the number of times you could control the table after the break (being able to see the lowest ball)? As Stu hinted, you can't (and shouldn't) try to run every rack.

I don't know of any and don't know if it is possible. To go into FargoRate the league would have to be run in FargoRate LMS software. Because TAP has its own software, I assume the results would need to be entered a second time.

Thanks. I guess that currently rules out most TAP leagues from reporting to Fargo...

Who knows - in 10 years time all the various leagues might have a 'report to Fargo' button in their software. Stranger things have happened.

All Rhino pool shafts are 30". You'd have to buy a Rhino carom 28" shaft to get less than 30".

simple: demand. they can only make 'em so fast. worldwide demand is huge. same thing with mezz stuff. these aren't ford/gm with huge assembly lines.

It's EK and I have no clue it's stamped next to the joint and on the shaft

Looks like an X. Might be a student project and a QC or grade stamp.

So the coating levels the piece? I bet that saves many years waiting for the work to settle. Also what does the EX stand for?

i could not find an answer
also seems revo shafts are out of stock in most places including at predator
anyone know why there is no supply?

I would come up with the slogan.....One Pocket is the Teacher!

I'm not saying it's free but it's certainly not worth an extra $80 bucks..haha

These look pretty cool.

Why are cue makers charging over $60 for that one extra inch? Crazy. I would like to get a revo 11.8 PRO Taper at 30inch but I'm sure I would get charged that extra $80 for that one inch and why are they using conical taper anyways..this is pool not snooker.

You can order blanks and get a lathe and buy tools and equipment and sandpaper and make your own.

I think it's pretty straight forward. You want the extra length, it's not free.

My buddy spilled his diet Coke all over my practically new BD cube of chalk. I immediately saw the chalk turn dark and soak up all that liquid. I patted it down as soon as I could, but that stuff soaked in quick.

I left it to dry out for a week or so. Do you think it is ok to shoot with again?

Just lick your chalk when you get thirsty. Seriously use the chalk. Sticky might help.
