it's good to be the run-out King

Last night was the 8-ball league payout, my team came in first again this session to a good natured (I think) round of boos.
I was crowned the King of break and runs with 10.
Today I played one pocket with my normal opponent and beat him 6 straight games while occasionally mentioning how good it was to be the king.
He got rather upset and quit, it was a lot of fun for me, him not so much.

Good on 'ya mate, long live the King! Congrats on that many break-and-runs. Sorry the "normal" opponent couldn't deal with a winner!

My first Gold Crown refurbish

bpeacock
When I started sanding the long pieces around the skirt, the wood was so hard and the grind marks so deep, there was no way that I was going to sand it with a palm sander, so I decided to run them through my planer...I just screwed some 2x2's to the back and made light passes until I cleaned them up. Then I used the palm sander to clean up the rest and soften the edges. There were some chatter marks from the planer but it didn't take long to sand those out.

Straight up, I’m not a gadget guy and I dislike most pool gadgets for teaching.

However, I worked personally with Tony Mattina—right up through putting pros and aspiring pros through their paces with CueTrack in person—and they loved it.

If you find one to buy, I’ll be happy to give you tips on expanding its practical uses.

Gold Crown 3(variant)

S

I finally finished with redoing the FrankenCrown I found. Mismatched rails, different size pedistals, no adjustable feet and bad cusions. With all of that plus stripping and finishing, I think it turned out really nice. Plays great. Oh, forgot to mention the mounting blocks for the aprins were all missing also. Lol.​
