Can I get a little testifying

W
When I was starting to play, there was a kid that would tilt his face off and break house cues (yes, plural). After he was done with the one he was playing with, he'd pull others off the wall just to snap em.. He'd get banned, come back and pay all damages apologizing profusely and swearing he wouldn't do it again. He danced that dance no less than three times that I'm aware of before the ban stuck.

He looked like such an ass that I never had to go through the learning experience first hand. Thanks to him, I won't even throw a 5cent chalk.

I have always been a Master chalk guy - but when I get a table in my new home I will try the newer expensive chalks that supposedly leave no residue - worth a try - my son’s Brunswick Anniversary has new green Simonis and the blue Master chalk really marks up that green cloth.

I was also. Until my Son bought me Taom Green.

Table stays cleaner as does your hands, balls and cue shaft. Occasionally build up on the edge of your tip or a miscue will leave a spot on the table. Don't rub the spot with your fingers, like we all have done.
Leave it until you have a chance to vacuum it. By rubbing it you will just push it in to the cloth more, if that makes sense.
Good luck trying to wear a piece out. I play fairly often and I am on my third year on the same piece.
I wish Goodyear would make tires out of this.

Your largest issue will be the installer. If you think Diamond is sending RKC or similar forget it. Ask them who they intent to send and do some research. Diamond's authorized dealers/installers are anyone that will sell their product. If you do get a tournament grade set up with no V cuts in the pockets, no shadows from stretching send them my way when they are done....to make up for the make up job I had after delivery. Maybe the 3rd recovery will be right.

Taom is not totally residue free but is sooooo much cleaner. I have plenty of Master and Triangle but am using Taom. I want to use the inexpensive and good Chicago products but will pay for Taom after trying it.

It's now been three months since I ordered my Diamond Professional table. I was told 4-6 months for delivery. I was also told there's a chance it could be a little less than that.

So, I guess it's about time I started to prepare my upstairs garage apartment for the new table. I need to get a chair, chalk, balls, rake, towels, drinks in the fridge, bulbs for the light, cue holder, template, tip shaper/scuffer, glove, ball cleaner, and perhaps some other stuff.

Anybody got any thoughts on what I left out here that I might need. I want to be ready in case it does arrive early. I am thinking about making a trip to Custom Recreation in Evansville to pick up some items. Anyway, it's not going to be a pool hall. Will probably just keep the bare necessities over there.
