This pretty much happened again today. 40 breaks and only 3 decent chances to run out. Got out once, hosed up two. I am starting to really look forward to getting that new Diamond Professional table installed in my rental property. It can't play any worse than this Gold Crown IV has over the...

How is Mr. Fleming progressing? Anybody know?

I do not have a ball cleaning machine. I had my balls cleaned once at a billiards store that used a machine and I didn't think it was done very good. So when I clean my balls I use some Aramith Ball Cleaner and put a light coat on the balls. Then after I get all the balls coated I take a dry...

Nope, certainly not a strong player. As hard as I've tried to become one - I am not.

Again, I took your recommendation and contacted Simonis. I got samples in the mail today. They were Standard Simonis Green, Blue Green, and Powder Blue. Apparently the Standard Simonis Green is a little lighter nowadays than what it was in the past.

There is a Tournament Announcement thread.

DO NOT let anybody tell you that the book "Pleasures Of Small Motions" will help you in your pool game. That book is a waste of time. Check out Capelle's books, Ray Martin's book on the Critical 99 Shots, and books/DVDs from Robert Byrne. r/DCP

I was watching a match last night from the 1999 US Open between Jim Rempe and Francisco Bustamante. Grady Mathews and Mark Wilson were commentating. There was something that I found odd. Maybe it's of no significance, who knows. Anyway, they were playing on Gold Crown IV tables. But the...

AMEN TO THAT MAHA!!! That happens quite a bit on here.

Making shot is the worst part for me. Drawing it back, well, about half the time. And I agree with others - it is an extremely tough shot for even top level professionals. PS. I see that idiot u12armresl has posted. Whatever he said is just stupid. There's a reason he is on ignore. The...

To those that have brains and can read and comprehend.......I appreciate your responses. Keep the suggestions coming.

Uh, what? Rotation means you go from the 1B to the 2B.

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/44547.png This is a very tough shot for me. I think I've asked about this shot years ago but I couldn't find the thread. Anyway, anybody have any tips on how to pocket the 1B and draw the CB back for the 2B in the corner? And please, let's assume this is the only...

I've been there before. But it's mostly 7-footers. Last time I was there they only had the one big table, the 9' Diamond ProAm. But usually there are alot of people at O'Brian's and it's hard to get on the big table. That's why I drove further into town to the Mall. I didn't think there...

No way would I ever get a bar box table.
