I'm monitoring all of this because I live in SW Indiana. It could affect our high school basketball games this weekend.

Is High School basketball still king in Indiana? What are people saying about the recent national championship for the Hoosiers football team? Does it even register much because it's still a predominantly basketball state?

https://www.billiardshopgroup.com/product/original-nuclear-plate/ here is the link to the product you posted a photo of, but the same brand also makes these: https://www.billiardshopgroup.com/product/original-atomic-fibre-pad/

Both are made from fibers, the shop I linked is in Italy, so not sure regarding shipping costs.

Sadly they don’t ship to me.

Can you add a weight bolt? Thanks

With mostly everything done now with machine programming even with cue building, there is no logic why a tip couldn't have the same treatment. I can only say that they are doing that on purpose so that there is money that can be made with having your tip serviced. Installation, treatment, shaping, etc... like going for a haircut but they offer you other stuff that make you spend more.

Well the tip manufacturers have no intent to ever sell direct to the public. They sell hundreds or thousands of tips to each of their customers every month. There's literally, NO incentive to do anything like this. It would be impossible to sell the numbers that they do.

That's the reality. The only reason anyone would even consider doing this is as in inroads into a dominated market and to get the retail profits without a middle man.

edit: It's not that they wouldn't want to sell direct to the public, but something like this would make it impossible to sell by their customers that purchase vast quantities of tips from them, alienating their customers. They won't sell direct to the public in a way that alienates their clientele.

I doubt it has any monetary value. You might not be able to give it away for free. Antique tables take a very special buyer. Good pool players only buy used (or new) commercial tables because they play the best, and the used ones are actually very affordable. Casual pool players buy furniture style tables from the local man-cave store. Those tables all end up on Craigslist for free pickup or $200 when they are sick of using the table as a laundry folding table and want their space back.

The antique tables hardly anyone wants. Maybe a wealthy person with a fancy house that wants an antique pool table to match his library shelves. He's the customer that Blatt Billiards sells their $30k restored antiques to.

Couldn't have you working in Austin Texas Open is that weekend.
Hope you find some good sparring partners

Hello, everyone.

I was sent this six-red set by professional snooker player, Mark King.



I particularly like the fact that all balls are numbered, not just the colours as typically seen.

That table they are playing on. It sure seems like the balls roll a great deal. It looks so fast. Most shots they are stroking so easy. It appears to play so much better and faster than my Gold Crown IV. Of course we have been all through that many times.

That's 760 or better (the geriatric grades). 860 is slow as fk by comparison.
