I was going to say the same. I was cussing my table last night for the same issues. On a pro cut with aging cloth there is no room for error when you are coming in from a rail. Like Rexus stated, pocket speed is your best bet.

Yep! I was thinking the same. Those bands should come off fairly easy.

looking good! I have been contemplating making a couple of new blinds (skirts) for my Anniversary.

Here is a link to that thread. I have no opinion one way or another. I can certainly see how someone who is a loyal Brunswick fan would want their GC to play as close to what they typically play on during tournaments...

Yes, Glen (RKC) over in the mechanics forum did that for a customer a few years ago. If I get a chance to find the thread I’ll post a link here.

I agree with all that cutting the 8 in the corner is a much better option. Your are probably not going to change his mind about shot selection though. Just flow with it and he will come around on his own.

Yep, still have it. A McDermott D-2. I still remember the shop owner in Bossier City LA telling me, “Whatever you do, don’t take your eye off this cue, McDermotts are favorites among the thieves right now”. He had me so paranoid that I never took it out, except to play at the Air Force Base...

I think Shaun chose the correct pattern, but obviously failed to execute. In my opinion his first draw shot was a bit too much which made his second shot a bit more challenging than it should have been.

Yes!

This thread answers your questions. The mechanics commenting here are among the best we have in this country.

Yeah it looks like you need new rails. I see the one end rail is cracked all the way through from end to end, at least it appears that way in that pic. Give Mark Gregory a call @ (770) 548-4292. I’m not sure if he does Metro rails, or not, but won’t hurt to ask. He builds fabulous rails. I...

Thanks for the heads up about it closing. I had plans on driving from Abilene to Arlington and dropping the wife off at Parks Mall while I go donate money to the local economy at Rusty’s, but it looks like now I’ll have endure tagging along with the wife while she tries on shoes. I think I’d...

Just a guess, but maybe the wrong slate for the table/rails? Shelf is way too deep. What do the side pockets look like?

Here is a pic of the typical side pocket setup for home tables with pocket irons. Notice the big hole in the end of the rail, that’s where the side pocket ear goes in, and the counterbored hole in the bottom (Top in this pic) is where the bolt and washer go that holds your pocket from swiveling...
