What kind/brand of Mechanics Level to level a Pool Table

If it's a ProAm, I would bet my life that it doesn't roll absolutely perfect. You probably just haven't noticed the subtleties. I'm not knocking you, by any means... Most people don't notice the subtle drifts.

A ProAm has a plywood cabinet. It will move, throughout the seasons. I have a 9' ProAm, in my shop. It moves quite a bit, despite being in a controlled environment, on a concrete floor. The rolls may not be super noticeable, when playing. However, the levels don't lie. And, if you really take a close look, with a few slow-rolling balls, you'll see some drift.
Solid wood is going to move more than plywood as the way plywood is made its more stable than solid wood. So a GC would move more than a Pro-Am

MR wants the MC to be a big (obnoxious) party like the darts.
And the darts are so bad that (the hated) Gerwyn Price tried to play with headphones to block out the heckling crowd.
I talked to a Brit that said he came to this event because he had been trying for several years to go to darts at the Ally Pally and couldn't...this was as close as he could get to the environment 🤷

Scott Frost pretty much said what I’ve been saying. The Americans should attend more events, they need to practice more tough field of players and higher pressure events.
And of course get more used to the playing conditions.
In other words, Athletes mentality…

WNT is 9-Ball
Forget bank pool, one pocket, ultimate pool etc.
only other disciplines to practice are those that are played on WPA/Predator events and the Americans should get more on these as well.
Got to play with the big boys if you want to beat the big boys

Table foundation recommendations

That's because we're always busy working, and get beat to the punch.

Thin rubber, such as the toolbox liner, under the feet is what I recommend.

For gluing the cloth, Parabond M250 is probably the easiest to source locally. 3M-10 might be the most difficult to source. RKC250 is probably the easiest to source, overall. And, it also works the best, as it dries quickest. Try www.Seyberts.com

If you are using a roll-on contact cement, you will need to remove all of the previously used 3M-77, as the roll-on stuff won't stick to it. You can scrape the old stuff. Or, you can remove it with Toluene (beware of the health risks). Or, the true lazy way would be to lay down a pass of the roll-on, and then go over it again, which will remove the underlying spray adhesive. Then, you'll need to lay a fresh coat of the roll-on.
I get the 3M-10 from Grainger in quart cans.

Joss Gold Label Shafts (2)

Two shafts, both with white organic iv ferrules. I tried to capture the gaining in the pictures. Both shafts have a taper roll. They roll straight when a butt is attached. Shafts are clean and free of any nicks.

$375 shipped for the pair conus

Shaft 1 (black tip pad)
12.7mm
29.0" to tip base (end of ferrule)
.845 joint
4.26 oz
Unknown tip

Shaft 2
12.7mm
29 1/16" to tip base (end of ferrule)
.842 joint
4.05 oz
Unknown tip
The ferrule has a chip out of it on the end, see pictures. I'm sure it could be cut back to clean up and still be 29"

I do not know if the ferrules are capped. I could cut the tips off and face the ferrule for a serious buyer

Ultraskin Tip Review>>>Soft-Medium-Hard

I have tried several of the Ultraskin tips and so far I really like the Ivory Medium and Hard tips for my Meucci which is my normal playing cue.
The Ivory tips hold chalk extremely well. I tried the fire Medium and soft but prefer the Ivory.
Yesterday I installed a Black Pro on my old Eckes cue with a 12mm shaft that I use for masse shots.. table length as well as short masse shots.
I have placed a couple orders for a variety of the Ultraskins and have been sharing them with my friends. So far everyone is really impressed with them. The Black tips seem to be in higher demand than the others so my next order will be for a variety of the Black with a couple Ivory Hard for my own personal use.
