I wanted to know specifics about the table (age, mainly), itself. I was not concerned with whether or not I used the exactly correct terminology for *parts* of the table. And, as I saw no text/printing except what I’ve mentioned, I doubt I shall ever know for sure until such time as the...

I know that. I used the wrong term, but I kinda thought it was a slightly interchangable term (a type of forgivable faux pas amongst those "in the know"). The woolen stuff is moreoften called "felt" correct? Or is true "felt" really cheap stuff, even worse than the woolen stuff? The standard...

If pool tables are something that are simply made and nobody cares when or how, then so be it. When I get “enthused” about something, I want to know as much as I can about the specifics, when possible. I sense I may be chasing after impossibilities. And, if so, that’s a sad end to my search...

Sorry for the small pic (if you’re trying to zoom in for detail). This site only allows really small files. I normally send large, for detail.

THAT I can do!

I think because I want to take pride in something like this table. And you can take a certain amount of pride in just HAVING a quality table, but knowing the history behind it, makes it all the better. That's all.

It was assembled by the guys at SureShot Billiards (Phoenix, AZ area; we live in Sierra Vista, AZ (yeah, that trip rang the price up a wee bit ($700) higher), who had it for an amazing $1,199!!! Couldn't believe it! But never saw any numbers or date codes or anything anywhere. I'll look again...

I've tried talking to Craig Connelly and Connelly Billiards, but so far nothing conclusive. If the guy who started Connelly Billiards and the designed the pool tables can't tell me, how would it be possible for Valley Dynamo to? They wouldn't know more than the originators of the pool table...

I have a used 7' Connelly Prescott w/ Queen Anne legs. It has three pieces of 1" Ardesia Biggio slate (OIS). Rectangular nameplate. Light Oak finish. Was told by the seller that it's probably from around 2000 (and may have had more than one previous owner), which would make it 19 yrs. old...

Does a decade make a difference? Looks like I'm coming into this thread a bit late, but wondering if, in 10 years, has anything changed about the "quick-lock" (or the dozen other names/ways that are used) system for cues? Are they any better? Used more? Used less? I don't see a problem...

Hello, everyone! My name is Jared and I live in Sierra Vista, AZ (USA). We're getting our first "new" pool table... a used Connelly Prescott w/ Queen Anne legs in a light oak finish. It's new for us, as we've never owned a pool table before. Sold by SureShot Billiards in the Phoenix area...
