A few years ago,
I was guilty of it too
But I worked for a better way!

It was just a suggestion. I don't do double linen wraps myself. Just a bit unclear what the OP's situation actually is

What I'm noticing as a general theme on these "was the ref wrong" threads, is that people care less and less. At first, it was: "can you believe the ref made the wrong call, he should be fired, the player should have called the foul on himself as well" sort of reactions. Now, it's more: "the ref might have gotten it wrong, but his call is final, and that's just the way the game is played".

Its no big deal, its just a judgment call that's sometimes wrong.

How could you tell while driving? What was visibly so dangerous about it?

It’s about the same as crossing 8 mile road from Oakland county to Detroit. The street, neighborhood, houses, buildings, yards, trash, etc. It just visibly changes, unless you’re blind.

I love a well set up Gold Crown.
I have one in my basement. Always loved Gold Crowns. Majestic heavy tables.

I love Diamonds too.
I play on Diamonds almost every day
And love them.

Adjust. Diamond owns the table market in poolrooms.
Brunswick relinquished their dominance on purpose.
They threw their R&D dollars elsewhere
into their other divisions believing pool was dying. Pool is on a big upswing now. Brunswick put themselves behind the 8 ball.

The Brunswick today is a brand new company, and they are coming at the market with some force. Its no longer the boat company or the exercise company that didn't give a hoot about billiards after 1980.

How Much $$$

$6700 cue $2000 case

Great looking Jacoby cue still available for a price that other mass produced cues are reselling for right now!

Grab it before someone else tucks it away in their collection.

If you are driving on what's referred to as "surface streets" you can absolutely tell the kind of area you are in. I could tell from I94 that I did not want to hang out at Cabrini Green back in the 90's.

From a mile away, huh? Impressive (lol).

I heard somewhere on hear that rails felt like plastic and seemd to scratch easily. What did you notice.

I heard the same and was looking at that. I didn't see any scratches, but I did see what seemed like staining from hand oil. What amounted to a few shiny spots here and there. I'll go back tonight maybe take some pictures.

Of note, the table was in the Brunswick booth and pushed up against a curtain. So any play on it would have been very minimal since not all sides of the table were accessible. I was there at midnight when the exhibits were closed. I stole some striped balls from an open table my buddies were playing 9 ball on, and played on the GC7 for an hour or so.
