Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

sounds like the demand for custom cues is for people that are experiencing a midlife crisis.
Maybe so on the midlife crisis , but on the other hand older folks may also have the expendable cash to be able to afford a custom cue , extra shafts and a case that the younger folks don't have yet . As they're trying to buy a car , house and have a family ? So their extra money goes towards those expenses .

Don't forget the medical bills that can suddenly appear out of no where !

What's Inside a Pool Table?

Who installs Ledford’s tables? Their background? Most installers are nice people however they are 90%r's. The best customers are recreational bangers that have no idea what a proper set looks/plays like. More interested in a game room table/table set up. Tell us more about Ledford's Billiard Supplies.... Welcome aboard to Azb
Thanks for the welcome! We're a 2nd Generation family-owned billiards company based in South Carolina with locations in Greenville, Charleston, and Columbia. We specialize in everything from entry-level game room tables to high-end tournament-quality equipment, service, and installation.

Our installers are full-time employees, not subcontractors, and we invest heavily in training. Most have backgrounds in furniture installation, construction, or billiard service, and we're currently building our own formal technician certification program to raise the standard of the industry. We believe a properly installed table should play as well as it looks, whether it's going into a family game room or for a serious player.

We're here to learn from the community, contribute where we can, and continue improving our craft. Looking forward to being part of the discussions.

Why do you play this game?

My first recollection of pool is the Wide World of Sports with Cosell. I also remember Mizerack and Mike Massey being on TV. When there are only 3 channels that's a big deal.

The first time I remember going to a pool hall was because my Dad was getting a bike he ordered for me at a place called Wheeler Dealer. It was next door to The Pool Room, which is now Chester's (moved though) and owned by John Barton. The Pool Room let kids in and I was hooked from that moment on. Then a couple of years later the Color of Money came out, I was 16 and it made me even more hooked.

Yeah we go against the grain and do not fall in the Diamond Lovers trap. We recommend Rasson or Brunswick tables over Diamond. Diamonds great commercial tables as mentioned in that video but they're not designed for your home. But you what they say about opinions haha
Why not designed for the home?

Assuming someone cares about the actual playability of their table, what do you think makes a Rasson or Brunswick "better for the home", than a Diamond?

Yeah, the first I saw of them was their Diamond review.

That told me all I needed to know about them...

Details on that European/American stance might be of interest to several people on this forum.
Like so many people now stand when down on a shot their chin is very close to their pool cue , after my neck was fused the first of two times that wasn't happening without a great deal of pain and discomfort .

Frank suggested that I square up a bit more to the shot as as it was mentioned in another post on here a stance similar to what Minnesota Fats used where you're stance is more of a up right one , it still can have some discomfort involved but not like before .
Since then I've had another surgery so C-3, C-4, C5 are now solid so bending my neck isn't as simple as it once was .

I hope you can understand my explanation , as I was back to playing pool shortly after those surgeries while wearing a cervical collar this was back in the 1990's and today the patient wearing a cervical collar is non existent .

We have several installers - depends on where you are located. We are authorized dealers for just about every major brand. Our guys are trained by some of the best in the business include Predators Lead engineer and world champion installer. In the world of the sport tables are ever changing so techniques that worked 5-10 years ago often do not work on tables today. *We sale but will not install or service 1 piece slate tables at this time.*
