That table should be in the lounge of a ski resort in West Virginia. It has no place in professional pool.

commercial gives you a table that will better stay level, bank consistently, and pockets that aren’t wonky… as long as it’s set up by a good mechanic. Every furniture table I’ve ever played on, after about 45 minutes the fun is pretty much gone on the session. Every rail and pocket played...

I always wanted an It’s George cue, both from a rarity standpoint and also because it was supposed to play jam up. You know, hit a ton. Perhaps even 2 tons if the mixture got right…. Then one day one pops up on eBay. Sweet. Garden variety 4 point with veneers, maple forearm, steel joint linen...

Bummer. From watching the SBE video I’ve been pretty excited about it. I think it looks great and bet it plays fantastic, but if I’m going to take the heat that comes with convincing my wife to agree to a $14,000 table… it better not make an ass out of me. There’s black GCIV’s at...

Unreal oversight on B-wick’s part if this brand new to the market table is already showing scratched metal.

I’ve had 2 massaged anniversaries and a sport king but I still prefer the GCIV. I’ve never played on a V. I didn’t care for the VI but I don’t think the one I played on was set up very well.

Anyone been able to play on one of these yet? I’m going to be building a house soon and am considering a GC IV, V or this one. With the aluminum rails, how thick is the overlay? I’d be SICK if a scratch, say from a rivet in a pair of jeans, was deep enough to expose shiny metal underneath...

Incredible

Kennesaw Billiards just had their tables re-done. I was there a few weeks ago and whoever did them did a good job. May be worth calling to see who they used. Chattanooga Billiards is pretty much all GCIVs and their tables always play perfect. Could be worth calling there as well.

Wrong take. I bet Pennix just threw another interception and the old lady called to ask why the local tush hog just sent her a text message. Never bet on the Falcons.

Before Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica, I did a quick google inquiry. It’s a good laugh for sure. I’m sure it has some utility, but…

Oh good God yes. A slow player’s kryptonite is… someone who plays even slower than they do. Call it a shark move, but when I’m in purgatory waiting on that slow mf’er to finally shoot, I’m watching tv or on my phone. When I finally get the ‘hey man, your shot’ … ‘oh man, my bad.’ I walk that...

1. Get phone out 2. Call somebody, hopefully one with an annoying voice 3. Lay the phone on the rail, on speaker and proceed to conversate. Double bonus if you start arguing about politics or sports. Things will just work their way out naturally.

Firstly, I want to thank you for your decorum and for keeping a fairly small disagreement civilized. Secondly, I am not always resistant to change when I see a definite upside. In your proposal I just don’t see it what there is to gain. Yes, practicing the lag is boring, but it’s a shot, just...

It just feels like I’m getting trolled, probably am. Changes in the lag, to whatever you desire, will not level the skill playing field. The better player will still demonstrate superior aptitude. Again, you’re using a false premise and now you’ve thrown in a false assumption that pros don’t...
