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...

I have been watching carom on Youtube and was wondering what standard table size is used for the world championships and pro events? for example in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxv_egFaXdI

I look through the For Sale section every now and then and am just wondering if people buy cues that are advertised without photos of the cue? Personally I need to see what I am buying first. However, everyone is different, so can anyone tell me why they would do it?

Predator Samsara Special Edition S-E5 made by Samsara I am selling this cue from my collection. Everything rolls straight and the balance is exceptional. The cue is made of Gabon Ebony and Holly. It was recently rewrapped and finished by Dave Rust at Predator. He also matched the cue with a...

Quick question, Does anyone know what Spain used as a material in the butt joint for this cue? Is it just a phenolic material that he has tapped a thread straight into? If so would this hold up over time? I am looking at using the same design with a 5/16x18 pin inserted into the shaft for...

Hi everyone, i have to be in London next week for a business trip and looking for the best club with American tables, any suggestions? Cheers

I have started playing 9ball after a long rest focusing on one pocket. My opponent racks the balls with the 9-ball on the spot and the 2ball at the back of the pack. I have been breaking from close to the left cushion near the head string and hitting the 9-ball on the left hand side with low...

I am starting to play 9ball more often and years ago used to keep a book of the number of break and run outs in each session. I have set a target and wish to monitor my progress again but this time with my tablet and wondered if any pool apps can do this for me? Cheers

I watch a lot of pool on youtube and regularly see top professional players over stretching to play very important often vital shots and seem to avoid using the bridge at all costs often to their detriment. I also hear commentators say oh the player has to use the bridge now which could stop...

So I have been watching the Tony Chohan vs Dennis Orcollo match from the beginning and must say I was blown away! Chohan has incredible shot making ability and to play under that kind of pressure is truly brilliant, another class, another world. Anyway, what other masterpiece is in the making...

I have been flicking through the posts on the forum recently and reading about lack of sponsorship etc. At the same time I have been flicking through youtube watching players compete in big competitions such as the Derby City Classic or these large one pocket money games and see players in...
