I too had talked to Leon on the phone a few times and still play with a sneaky he built. Condolences to his Family and friends. RIP Leon.

It may have been a Bar Billiards table. I believe it did have a connection to Russia. Still antique Bar Billiard tables that have been preserved.

Making balls on the break is not paramount in one pocket. In my games it is frowned upon. 🤓

As a wise man once said. “ That is funny as fk.”

I did the same, so long ago I have forgotten about it. So much better without the clunk.

I learned to like him and appreciate his skill after meeting him this year at the Derby. Yes slow but deliberate player. Tough competitor.

A shorter and fatter shaft may work. I would be careful trying big masse strokes with the OB shafts. The glue used on the ferrules won’t like the impact much.

That looks flawless. Your skills are amazing.

Yes, I still love the way it looks and plays. I found I picture of it in this thread, post #9 https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/table-differences.200160/#post-2592973

Could you paint it to look like a Diamond? JK Great table and please share pics when done. I ordered my table with light Maple rails and everything else Jet black. I then made a revolving cue rack that matches the table. You have a clean slate if you are painting, do something cool.

Just left Felt in Denvertown, many tables, nearly all were being played on. League night, yes. But seems to be busy all the time. Lots of happy players, just not me...I dogged an 8 ball and suffered.

Good on you Matchroom, I hope this makes a difference. Young people would love the game if presented correctly. I have seen it and done it.

Timberstrand. Engineered and very strong and virtually warp proof. I am glad mine is on the no-touch part of the table, nasty splinters ;)

Glad it worked, I would do it again. :cool:

Hey! Its good to see that again. What a PITA that Mini cue was.
