Shit can wear on a person over several days.
Just because the first day was good doesn't mean anything.

A competent mechanic can get the nose height correct but the fact is, moden K55 rubber is 1/8" bigger that the Monarch SuperSpeed cushions that the tables were originally equipped with. Without modifying the subrail, you lose the 2:1 ratio playing surface. You wind up with 49.75" x 99.75" vs 50" x 100". Some think this is not a big deal while others (like myself) want the playing surface the correct size and ratio.

Yes they did state that you would lose the quarter inch playing surface.

50 years back little to just a few gambler's tournaments. 40 years back might be a better compasision. other ones was as stu said mostly straight pool and more formal. and a true test of skill.

its more like going to a pro golf event which is of course regulated in every way, and a gamblers golf event . both you see good golf, one is expert the other is fun and exciting.

but two different clientele for the most part went to those events.

and you can be sure it was more fun at the gamblers events. and you sure saw great pool with great comments from the rail, and the players.

Beauty!

Nice cue! Will keep it in mind

Back to the original topic I would like to hear from those that participated or watched.

As for the latest sidetracked...plastic changed the pool world in a huge way with the better ball sets. Plastic also killed action as people don't carry cash like they used to.
