Did you check your other balls. If it is pocket metal they should be much worse scratches on the other 15 balls
Protruding Pocket nails rarely, if ever affect every ball in a set during one or a few sessions on the suspected table. Usually a suspect table has only one or a few pocket nails protruding enough to scratch the balls to a significant visible effect. This effect would build over time to more and more balls in a set if there is repetitious play on the suspect table. The balls need to come in at a certain angle and hit that nail just so to cause the damage.

After the first session on a suspect table, you would normally see only one or a few balls affected, depending on how many nails are protruding - which is usually only one or a few nails; it usually builds to include more balls in the set as sessions increase on the table before realizing the issue.

If the cue ball is the first one affected, which is the ball most often cleaned after a session- consider oneself lucky to catch the issue before ruining an entire set - more reason to inspect tables on initial sessions when bringing your own $300 to $400 ball sets.

Usually the CB is not the first ball affected bc it goes into the pockets the least ( hopefully) and it does not go into the pockets at the speeds of most object ball strikes.

Duramith technology claims have nothing to do with protruding nails- 40 year Duramith claims are based on properly maintained playing conditions.

Nice tables but the balls are old and beat. I just wanted a decent cue ball.
I was back at it today for a few hours. I did find two nail heads out a bit. Tomorrow I will bring a small hammer and a punch to tap them in. It’s just a senior community club house.
Hell man thats not unusual. A lot of the older dudes that took straight pool real seriously would bring their own set and I’ve been to plenty of league nights where someone would bring a good set of balls because the bars were terrible.

Pronunciation of "Gorst'

One of my clients many moons ago handled MMA fighting championships around the world. Fedor Emelianenko aka "The Last Emperor" was heralded as the best. In fact, Joe Rogan was a commentator from time to time.

The correct pronunciation of Fedor is emphasis on the second syllable like Feh-DOOR, similar pronunciation as Fedora hat without the third syllable.

It's not FEH-der or FAY-der or FAY-door, though these are American pronunciations. But it's Feh-DOOR.

i watched a lot of fedor emelianenko. so good it was almost boring. his brother had a fighting career too, and a prison career

Speed joint?

Would you feel comfortable building a phenolic plug for it? Like would you build a shaft for a customer that way?
I would make a phenolic plug, glue that in with the correct epoxy for carbon fibre.
Once that has cured. I'd machine the inside of the 5/16-14 brass insert to spec. Finally I'd drill, bore, ream and thread the shaft and install the brass insert.

3 things you would change about pool

Promote interest and increased participation in 3 cushion billiards.

Standardize the rules for all the different recreational leagues and
please stop with making slop a legally pocketed OB in 8 ball (APA).
At the same time, include 10 ball as a game (8, 9 & 10 ball leagues).

Time clock adherence and the person leaving the table activates a
30 secs. digital clock countdown that the incoming player has to
complete their shot within or else forfeit the table to their opponent.
