I don't particularly like one end of the table being 1" higher in relation to my body than the other. It changes a lot imo.Just level the table. I'd be more concerned about water.

I’ve been looking too. Unfortunately there aren’t many options other than buying an old stock set of cyclops balls on eBay or Facebook marketplace. Aramith doesn’t make those colors and the closest dynaspheres set is the Tungsten set, but the 6 and 14 are gray instead of lime green. Dynaspheres did make a set called Carbon with the skittle colors, however it was a lower-grade resin and has since been discontinued. I talked to a dynasphere rep at the expo last weekend and they don’t have any new skittles sets coming out any time soon..while those are the same font, the colors are not even close to similar.
Thanks - that part I knew.The idiom "doesn't hold a candle to" means that someone or something is far inferior in skill, quality, or ability compared to another, implying they are not even competent enough for the most basic, subordinate tasks.
That's what I was asking about - interesting. Thanks again.The phrase originated in the pre-electricity era when apprentices or assistants were tasked with holding candles to illuminate the work of skilled craftsmen; if a person "couldn't hold a candle" to their master, it signified they were unfit even for this menial role.
will you adopt me...please....We've had our Diamond table for 5 or 6 yrs now and wife and I were just talking about it the other day about how much enjoyment we have gotten with our table. We both shoot, I'm on two leagues, one with the wife, and one without. We probably average about a half hr ea of practice on the table a day. We also have friends over to shoot and my wifes best friend is one of them.
Anyway what we were talking about the other day was how our table was one of the best investments we have ever made, and how that table will last us the rest of our lives. It really is cheap when you figure how long it should last you, and if you ever decide to sell it, because of inflation you can probably get most of your investment back. We were very fortunate in that when we got our table, about 2 or 3 months later Diamond had a huge price increase in their professional table line.View attachment 897799
That would include my input which defies the Jockdom.This topic - elbow drop - and CB or OB last have always been just about the two big issues in the game of pool with regards to instruction and execution. Surprised nobody has brought up the CB/OB last issue in this thread.
