you need to start with better sand paper, minimum the 3m brand. and use a coarser one and work your way down to finer grits untill you get the smoothest finish.
if you are starting with say 100 grit you will take forever.

I've done over a dozen of my shafts and it's only the recent ones from China that put up a fight. The Valhallas, Players and Mac Luckys - no such problem. 150, 200 will start and finish the work. Minimal follow up with finer grade wet paper.

A friend is about to open a pool room (his fourth) with a golf simulation room. I think that’s a natural combo.

people lose what is in their pockets and quit most times. only real degenerates that cannot quit loser will want credit from you or go to the atm which most only give a few hundred at most. and it gives time to reconsider.

until you get to at least 50 a game, not sets, you aren't really gambling just social betting.

My kids and their friends always groused about not getting to play with my good cues so I bought a few Players and Valhallas. They are thrilled and think they are playing with Balabuskas and Szambotis.

I gave my son a new cue. He never really cared much for the looks nor what it is. I only gave him another one once he learned how to take care of his own starter cue which received a few abuses. Once he started getting the habit of taking better care of his old cue then I went and got him a better one. Once he tried the new one, he was hitting better and appreciate the new cue even more and handles it better. I got him a midrange players with an avid shaft. I'm also an evil dad.

I've been toying with the idea of opening a small room for he last 10 years or so and finally decided to pull the trigger. The problem is that right now seems like the wrong time. With viruses and jobs lost, people losing their minds over simple things like "my choice is greater than your choice". I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that thinks this way. Not to mention the cost of equipment and permits. What do you think?

Are you dating that this table is not a Gold Crown?

This table is a gold crown I from what others are saying that know their stuff. It was never a coin op and nowhere I the pictures you have hint at it being a coin op.

If the seller says otherwise, he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Pretty neat, I want one, you going to sell these? How the hell did you attach the spring to the ball?

As far as cheating, some women consider it cheating if you play with your balls when they're not around.

1/4-20 tapped hole in both the ball and steel v-block, two pan head screws, and wrapped in rubber sheet. A jury-rig of materials I already had. Not for sale but you can make your own.
