Hi, is the BCM still available? I believe I'll take it.

Perimeter style lights without proper diffusers ruined pool halls. Made them brightly lit like a tanning salon in your face. I went from never wearing a hat outside of T-Ball when I was a kid, to wearing a hat sometimes because these lights are so bright and so bad.

Worst thing in pool since Diamond cushions.

How about near 19422.... I use SPF by way of Scott Lee RIP. Will not change that. Went from all over the place to can play good enough to enjoy the game and occasionally play over my head. My runs went from 3-6 to 6-15plus. Had a few 1p 8n out's. Lately I can't pocket balls...I feel like quitting I'm that disgusted. One reason is I just had cataracts that are amazing but sensitive to extreme bright light on top of the table. My concentration, drive, etc. varies. Another is wrist twist. Maybe I'm trying to hard.. Not as fired up as I was or should be....but still hear the table calling me. Does it take an instructor to get back on track? Maybe a few sessions. Since we are on the subject..Who are the master stroke instructors in Phila/Montgomery County, Pa. Thanks

The last toner coats are now on the legs and spreader.

In case I need to refer to this in the future here is the recipe for 16oz of toner.
2/3 cup Seal Coat Dewaxed Shellac
4/3 cup denatured alcohol
2 teaspoons Transtint Medium Brown

I used the same Transtint Medium Brown mixed with water for the initial stain. I'll have to look back to see what the dye to water ratio was but I believeit was 1oz/pint.

All that remains of the wood refinishing is a light sand with scotch brite and the top coat.

I think the lighting is kinda poor to really see the color of the wood.

Well the one instructor who has great FREE Medicine IMHO is Dr. Dave, he share so much info on his U-Tube platform, and all one need do to master is something most people hate. Practice. Practice Practice.


It amazes me so many people play Pool really bad in 2025 with all the great info available in 2025 like Videos, DVD's, UTube, and Books, like 99 Critical Shots, that I have read cover to cover many times.


JMHO

I actually agree with this. There is so much free information, and good information at that, but the overall level of play still stinks.

There is only one way to get good at something, and that is to "do" it. You can't learn pool (or any other activity) by watching a video or reading a book. You must "do" it at the table.

Jerry Brieseth live down road from me, people come to Jerry to improved their Pool Game. Recall one guy he was retired from IBM, he spent though and with Jerry to fix bad habits. Guy never practiced what Jerry taught basic, so the money was blown. No way Jerry problem, it was student with think head, and no practice effort.

Cannot fix broken, if broken don’t want fix. Money spent and it learned is money blown.

I have a beautiful Big pin Joss West Tulipwood merry widow in mint condition with 2 original shafts with micarta ferrules. Iwould consider trading for your Schon.

I have a $1500 cash offer. Honestly, the Pechauer shaft has little value especially with that cue. Hopefully you consider it. It's more than fair in this market. Thanks, Dante
