    Is this legal?

    Yes, you can do it... I did for a while on one cue I owned... but the shortcoming is the tip wears unevenly over time... and must be re-shaped fairly often, thereby significantly reducing tip life. I used the line drawn on the ferrule as an aiming aid.

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    Thanks, everybody, for your input. It's well appreciated! FYI, I just ordered Littman's 7' x 2' Tournament Edition for my 9-foot Pro Am. It looks like Littman's factory is in Beaverton, OR, which is close to Portland... and not too far from me... as I am about 35 mi. north of Seattle. Looks...

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    The main reason is Diamond Lights were designed quite a long time... perhaps 30+ years (?)... and pool table lighting technology has continued to advance. Additionally, I want a more lightweight design that makes it easier to install. I don't have the weight numbers for Diamond's 9-foot light...

    Littman Lights... are they worth it?

    I'm strongly considering a lighting upgrade for my home table... a 9-foot Diamond Pro AM... and a friend suggested that I look at Littman Lights. They're pricey... so before I commit, I'm interested in getting opinions about them... favorable and unfavorable... all are welcome. TIA

    Anyone know of a Diamond ball cleaner stand?

    Mine's in my garage/pool room... so I raised it with leftover pavers from my back patio project... two courses for the base... and then another course but of only small square pavers under each foot. It doesn't move... but it also doesn't have any drawers to store shit. lol

    So did I... have a pretty severe astigmatism. Who told you you can't get Lasik with a pretty severe astigmatism? Regardless, get a second opinion.

    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    I'm sorry, but it's not gouging. Gouging only applies to life necessities... like clean water, toilet paper, batteries, and similar items people tend to stock up on when they're about to face a hurricane or some similar natural emergency. Everybody can get by without owning an extra pool cue...

    For the guys who play with glasses

    It does, in general. But in the case of vision, there's a benefit when you reach the age that you have cataracts. I had cataract surgery seven years ago at the age of 69. I chose the optional increased depth of field lenses, and my vision is now 20/20... and I can easily read my computer screen...

    Glenn, the next time you're in the Seattle area, can you stop by and check the level on my table? I believe that it needs some adjustment. If you're able, kindly me a heads up when that might be. Thanks, Dave.
