I have met him and he is unbelievable to watch. I was a long range rifle guy. (1000-2500 yds) Pistol and carbine competitions i did as a consistent top 5 amateur. I have reloaded over 100k in rifle rounds. Dont miss that!

I spent 3 days with Anthony getting my Level I & II PBIA instructor certs. I teach beginner students only. It is important to remember that the PBIA curriculum is taught by many of the people previously mentioned from the list. Mark Wilson is highly respected and i have seen his curriculum. The...

I spoke to the owner. Currently owning my third GC I was curious as to why this table hadn't sold. I have considered selling my OS8 to upgrade to a 9'. I was trying to explain the realities of selling a used pool table when he hung up on me. Apparently he thought I was trying to negotiate. I...

Coming from another very high end industry, it appears there are hundreds of custom cue makers. This tells me it isn't that hard to be average, the truly skilled always rise to the top!

I teach a system very similar with the same goal of creating a baseline for cue ball behavior. Seeing you use basically the same idea further validates the concept for me. I hope people are able to realize just how much information you just provided them!

Unfortunately this a symptom of the systemic issues with professional pool. I realize those streaming cams are expensive. I have lived my life by either doing things right or not doing them at all. I was really looking forward to seeing this and I couldn't watch it. Just too poorly done.

What I saw was one camera and very dark. Live streaming has come a long way in the last few years. You guys need to up your game!

Did a similar restoration on a GC1. Nice job. A lot of work!

I am guessing you shot a lot of games in the league over those years. Did you practice an organized curriculum with skill development drills 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week with an instructor critiquing you and coaching you weekly? Most folks aren't going to work hard enough to improve that much...

It honestly looks like everyone else's GC1 but it plays beautifully!

I am living proof. It takes a great deal of time and effort on the student's part but there is no reason why pool can't be taught and learned in an incremental manner like many other things.

From being stored in a conex container for years

Level reads .0002' over 10"!

I sent my GC1 rails to Jack Zimmerman for a sub-rail replacement, rubber, and cloth. He did a great job at a very reasonable price. I bought the table 6 months ago from a guy who wasn't a player. He bought it from an upstanding pool mechanic who failed to tell him the rails had been wet and some...

If brake cleaner could kill you i would have died in my 20's. Made it to 58 and still going strong. I was in the race engine business for many years and it was used for almost all the parts cleaning.
