Finally found one to convert!
A one-piece Titlist cue. Didn't know it when I bought it, but under the years I found the Purpleheart Titlist I always wanted. How lucky am I.
2/3 cored, Purpleheart and Ebony rings, and 3/8-10 Modified joint pin.
I made a Curly Kielwood shaft to go with it.

Yeah, I believe the place the OP visited is called, KC's Time Out Lounge. It it not a serious players pool hall. Much more of a College Student hang out, which explains why the tables were in such bad condition.

I vaguely remember a pool hall that had an elevated bar with brass railings. Can't remember the name. You never went to Elliot's Steak House?

Sounds like O'Brians to me. Elevated bar with Brass railings. Really nice pool hall.

I was always very poor, so could never afford to go to a steak house. Sounds really nice though.

Please let me know what you have for sale, I played with one in the 1990's and I am looking for others to acquire.

Thanks!

Well, if you really want to pronounce it - it’s name in Chinese (using English syllables for ya) is “Lee Suh”

English branding would be Cue-Lees, like Lee’s cue, but reversed.

Look at my avatar sunburn I'm 6'2" and Shane is just a bit shorter than me . Maybe that can answer you're question . haha

I’ll bitch and moan about covering my tattoos with dumbass sleeves. But China open dress code looks smart, it’s comfortable and professional. Dark polo shirt, dark trousers and all black dress shoes. Done a bit of a U-turn on my thoughts about it.

I think they are talking about WY. Could be wrong.

I loved going to Evansville back in the day. Elliot's Steak House. Think it's closed down. Let's see who knows..

That part of the world also has the best Stromboli's.

Evansville is a really unique city. I guess all cities are unique in their own way though. Evansville was really nice though. I lived there for about a year and a half.

The root issue with "capped" events is they make those players near the cap a huge favorite. I'd bet strong that the players with a 595-599 rating have won significantly more tournament cash than anyone in the country outside of the legit pros. Because every weekend in every city you can spit and land on a 599 capped event.

Then the issue becomes "where do you make the cap at". No matter where you make it, it makes those players close to it the big favorite.

"handicapped" events don't have this issue. They spot either games or balls to make it so anyone has a chance. AND, everyone is usually allowed to play in these events, event pros.

"capped" = excludes a large number of player entirely. Of the players that do enter, favors strongly those close to the cap.
"handicapped" = lets everyone play. Everyone has a chance.
"Open" = Lets everyone play, everyone plays even, determines who is the best.

Come to AZ! We cap them AND handicap them!

As some will recall in a previous thread I was going to drive down to Evansville to the Washington Square Mall and play on their Diamond tables. I wanted to see how they compared to my Gold Crown IV.

Well, I finally made it to Evansville today. And what a waste of time. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The tables were in awful condition. The cloth was horrible. It was dirty, spotty, slow, etc, etc. And the lone 9-footer wouldn't even work. I had a guy helping me and he said the coin mechanism must be broke.

So I guess I am back to square one. Maybe I should just go and buy that Diamond Professional and get it over with. Either way, I would think a big city like Evansville would have had better tables to play on. That was simply pathetic.

r/DCP

I assume you mean Evansville, Indiana. All that city had was Diamonds when I lived there. I believe that O'Brian's had a 9 foot Diamond. I imagine it is probably still there. I think I can see it in this pic, on google maps.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Edit: The place you went to (which I think is called KC's Time Out Lounge) is a complete Dive, from what I remember. You should have went to O'Brian's, a few miles north of there. That was a super nice place (and I imagine it still is), with all Diamonds, including 1 9 foot Diamond, iirc.

I'm looking to sell my 10' Gabriels carom table to someone in New Orleans, about 45 minutes from where I live. Can anyone recommend a mechanic to disassemble, transport, and reassemble?

I have a message in to Yura on Facebook but in the meantime I wanted to see what other options are out there in cause he isn't passing through Louisiana any time soon.

*Update* I spoke to one of the guys in the sticky list, real nice dude and we may get something done, there just don't seem to be many listed for this part of the country.

Thanks

Contact Gary Medlin GEM cues, he may be able to put you on someone
