ayy this is cool. I have a couple meucci originals that are nearly as old as me, now i can hopefully figure out what they are and when they were made

i'm surprised more don't have special shoes to play pool with. its amazing that some still just wear what they came in with.

it doesn't take much time to change out your shoes, take out your extra shafts, and put together your break cue, and get your jump cue ready. and take out your special chalk, bring out your own cue ball, get out your moosehead bridge, and start your game.

Anybody have special shoes you wear when you play?

My Diamond Professional is in my upstairs garage apartment and it's got that vinyl plank flooring. If I have to lean a little bit to reach a shot my feet will, at times, slip a little.

Just wondering if anyone uses special shoes for various floors wherever they play?

When others comment on billiard situations, moments etc, why is there a desire for some to go the other way, when talking and working with another makes life/billiards and this ''addictive game'' so intrusive /negative when they show up?
Why not roll with the punches and learn, sometimes we wished we could/would of ducked.
I prefer shooting hangars/ducks with out ammunition.
That's how I prefer to Roll.

Only 4 coats or so? What thickness CA glue were you using? Also what type of oil do you recommend between coats?

CA more durable than auto clear? I may need to step my game up on CA maybe, mine has chipped in a couple places when I bumped it into a table before…

That means you're not getting good adhesion between layers. You need to test out some oil types to see what works best for your CA type and process, my preferred product was danish oil.

CA finishing has been extensively tested/covered by pen turners, quite of bit of information out there for what works well, you just need to sort through the crap.

I'm not necessarily the most careful player out there, nearly all my cues are used hard with bumps and bruises. For me, CA has been the most durable, but please don't take my word for it, test all the finishes out for yourself, so many different products out there with various pros and cons.

I carry this with me to every pool hall, so I am prepared for all flooring types.

sadly those pool rooms are mostly gone replaced with league playing rooms or monthly paying players knocking around balls by themselves.

playing cheap sets with a friend the other day. He's a strong player, already gives me games on the wire. Offered me the breaks. The only good it did me is it stopped him from breaking.
