Starr, Thanks a lot for the input. It was very helpful. I did what you did and it worked out great. Since I hadn't done this before I erred on the side of caution and jacked up the table from the frame under the end rail about an inch and a half at a time (enough to slide a 2x6 under the...

Getting new carpet installed in my pool room because I'm going to be putting my house on the market. I'm looking for ideas on how to avoid breaking the table (Gold Crown 1) down then resetting it up after the carpet, and then going through the breakdown/set up again after selling the house...

Does the System Sid only work if you are shooting from a short rail (rail O) into the other short rail (rail M)? Is there numbering for the long rail on the left side of the table if I am shooting from there into short rail (M)? If not, is there another diamond system for that shot? Thanks

Awesome! Thanks for sending this spliced.

Thanks 3RAILKICK. I'll follow up with him on that. Thanks for replying.

Hi, I'm refurbing a GCI and am trying to locate the original gold paint color (it's closer to a brownish/yellow). I know others are interested in getting paint codes for the blue, and tangerine. If anyone knows the paint codes or mix formula or has matched those colors with an off-the-shelf or...

Thanks Geoff.

Hi, I'm refurbing a GCI and am trying to locate the original paint colors (off white, gold). If anyone know the R, B, G formula or has matched those colors with an off-the-shelf or mixed paint please let me know. I also saw a post that there was a pool/billiards store in Sacramento (I think)...

Hi, can anyone tell me the specifics of what "model AK" means as in a Brunswick Gold Crown III, model AK? I have been researching and saw one reference that said it signified an oversize-8/Pro-size table. I was another reference that just said it was a Brunswick code. I emailed Brunswick...

Thanks. That makes sense to me. I appreciate your feedback to my question and the forum in general. It's been very useful.

K55 cushion recommendations Thanks for pointing that out Realkingcobra. I did not know that the rails were designed for K55 profile cushion. I thought I read somewhere that the older Brunswick antique tables (early 1970s and prior) used K55 and newer ones where K66. My table, while it has...

Hi, I'm replacing the cushions on an 8.5' Brunswick Madison table (from the early '80s I was told). Artemis is highly rated... but out of my budget. I have seen mixed reviews on Accu-fast, such as it play very well but it is softer and will play differently than traditional tables cushions...

Hi, I am reviewing the CTE v4 write-up/interpretation on Dr Dave's site: http://billiards.colostate.edu/threads/aiming.html#CTE which states "Then drop and slide into your stance straight towards the CB, placing your bridge to align with the cue 1/2 tip of the CB's center". What line am I...

That's the clarification I was looking for. Thanks!

I don't think rule 6.3 addresses the scenario I described. Rule 6.3 No Rail AFTER CONTACT, to me, means that after the cue ball contacts the object ball, either the cue ball or object ball must hit the rail - if I am misinterpreting that please explain. I am asking about when there is NO...
