Playing with no chance to win is nothing more than donation and I don’t quite understand why anyone would be interested in that. Now if he wants to play some Banks and give me 5-4 as well as giving me 3 to 1 odds on the money I could be persuaded to get in the box.

I agree. He's not really "looking for action". He's looking for donations while he practices. I'd respect him more if he posted something like "if I don't know you, I'll give up the 7 and 8 in 9 ball or 10-6 in one pocket". Then, at least a decent shortstop would have a fighting chance. He'd probably even enjoy it more if he was pushed / pressured a little.

If he gave me a spot I think I could be competitive with, I'd enjoy playing one of the best players ever and wouldn't be upset about losing a few hundred for the experience. I wouldn't enjoy donating knowing I had no chance and feeling like a complete nut hugger though.

Very likely you've got some dead spots. First, are you certain your table is a Gold Crown II? There's lots of misinformation out there. It is more than likely a Gold Crown I as the GCII was only offered from '74-'76. Either way, the subrail bevel will need to be adjusted to accept modern K55 profile cushions to retain a true 2:1 ratio (50"x100") playing surface. Having had Artemis on a previous table, I'm not sure the extra cost is worth it. I went with Diamond Black cushions on my Gold Crown I and love the way they play.

I also have this Gator print Whitten & a BRAND NEW J.B.RUGGED 1x2 with 2 pockets & side handle very sporty looking case (Black out & Blue inside)

Material density is also an issue when it comes to cushion play. Having a foreign material at the ends of the rails/at the pockets will impact playability. Durability, as others have mentioned, could come into play as well.

The Black Ostrich & Chocolate 1x2 are not for sale nor the 1x1 Black

Thank you so much, Sudocrushms.

I must confess, sir, that I had in mind a coffee table book that mainly focused on beautiful photographs, with the text just describing a bit about the ball sets’ history.

Phretless, a regular contributor to this thread, has written two excellent books on the subject of obscure games and their rules, dear chap. Hopefully he might chime in later and tell you a bit more.

Best wishes, and thank you again.

Compliance holds are the first thing taught in police academy. I received a demonstration from the proud Cadet. I attribute a good part of the arthritis in my thumbs to that demonstration. Oh sadistic bastards are attracted to the role that the gestapo er uh ice is playing. It is all a game to the sadistic bastard at the desk.
Prosecution from the top down is my hope.....and prayer.
