Where do you play when you play there?

Hi, I am planning a solo trip to the Phillipines later this year just to play pool for a couple of weeks. I would like to travel around a bit. Can anyone recommend the safest cities and best pool halls to play? Cheers

Thanks Kim, that makes a lot of sense.

Hi, I have a cue which I want to change joint pins and also lengthen the butt. Many years ago I spoke to a cuemaker and he said he could add an inch on a cue joint without it having a detrimental effect on the playability. I think he said he could remove the pin and then plug the hole with maple...

Thank you. I bought a block of it to send to a cuemaker to do the work so I might spludge as i don't think i will have any other use for it. Thank you for your help.

Hi, I am having a cue restored with Elforyn joint collars and a radial joint. The shafts have different joints which need plugging and converting to fit the radial pin. Would Elforyn be a suitable and durable material to plug the shafts? Cheers

thanks for the info guys

Hi, I can get a 9 foot snooker table and want to play Chinese 8-ball on it. Do you by any chance know the rail height of a Chinese 8-ball table? cheers

Hi, are you able to tell me the rail height on these tables? thanks :-)

I know, but I am a bit stuck as I live in WA and they don't play the game here and I can't buy a decent table other than Chinese knockoffs. I have looked at a Rasson or Diamond but they want 11K+ for them.

Hi, thank you I will have a look. They want 3K AUD but I am trying to get them down. I am guessing it will take a minimum of 3K to get it transported and then the body restored with new cloth and cushions. So I will be in for at least 6K, possibly more if i get any surprises..

Hello, I am thinking of buying an old Gold Crown 3 which has been sitting in a shed for a few years. I am in Australia and these tables are like hens teeth so I want to restore it. Are there any issues I should look for when inspecting the table before purchase, such as wood movement etc and how...

Has anyone gone through the process?

I am based in Australia and wish to travel overseas with my Black Boar. I have read that I will need a CITES Pre-Convention Certificate to travel with it. This covers: Asian elephants to the protected list on 1 July 1975 and African elephants on 26 February 1976. So if I can proved that the...
