Still in love with my Pernambuco cue over 2 years later....and it plays like no man's business.

Yes sir, could always be worse. Thanks Lou.

Hate to sound cheap, because you can ask anyone that knows me when I come to Derby... always 3 to 5k lighter than I show up...but they can keep the Gordon Ramsay restaurant and the prices no matter how good it is. I mean general principle still means something, right?! A couple of questions if...

Yes, exactly. And also, Greg Sullivan started the Derby not too much earlier than the year 2000 as far as I remember (which my table is….a 2000 model). These are definitely not the Brunswick Gold Crown 1, 2, or 3’s we all grew up on and loved. Those slightly miss hit balls would tend to go in on...

Interesting. I was assuming they would be set up like reading glasses and wouldn’t work as mentioned above. I’m 51 and used to play in glasses over 20 years ago. Then I played in contacts for 16 - 18 years. The last few years, I’ve played without either, because my left eye came back near...

I’ve met and talked to Stu at Derby on at least one occasion. But like everyone else, I see him what seems like all the time in these matches. Super nice guy and I’ve enjoyed some of his follow up posts after the tournament is over. I’ll try to say hello again, Stu and see if you remember me...

I donate to the 9 ball division, so a little something in common there. As far as I know, most of the stronger one hole players would rather play on a tight(er) table. A few strong players have been over to my house on several occasions to play rotation, but since the pockets play tight, they...

Billy Gray might want it for KBC….dunno, but he does set up tables, too, as far as I know. Little Robbie might want it…just a thought or two.

The table in the pool action tv room is always tighter than the others. There’s usually one more that’s as tight in a single room without cameras. I’m assuming outside of theses 2 tables, Scott could be right. I’ll know by Monday or Tuesday if the 2 I speak of are still tighter than the rest.

I’ll try to remember to give feedback. It’ll definitely affect amateurs more than pros, but tighter pockets is better than looser pockets as far as I’m concerned. Glad they didn’t go the other way and make them 4 and a half inches.

Hopefully you’re correct about the pocket size. Maybe they can still stay on schedule, even if it means later last rounds of the day each night. I have a feeling they’ll get it done somehow.

In for updates.

I was surprised it filled up and got capped at 500, too. I meant to pre-register for the 9 Ball, but it slipped my mind, because it took me from Thanksgiving until early last Wednesday morning to get my room situation squared away. I finally got my usual 6 nights(check in Monday and check out...

Now that's in depth! Thanks

That sucks, ol bud. Hope all is well.
