The main changes will be to the pockets. Your table will be much more challenging to play on. You will learn to pay close attention to how throw effects aim, and how different shot angles show you different parts of the pocket and the different speeds the ball will need to travel to be...

I'd definitely get the pro-am like you said, and a joss west? well you cant really go wrong there!! I might go with a black boar or a nice titleist conversion of some kind. If I had all that plus the snooker table, a case of elijah craig, a few cartons of reds, and a taco bell nearby...well...

I hope Glen chimes in on this thread. I would love to hear his analysis on the playability of a 25 thousand dollar furniture table. I know the kind of customer that buys a pool table like this doesn't probably care about the playability too much, but still, 25g's for some fancy wood and steel...

There are definitely more rooms in the city than there are in the burbs. When I was living in the city a few years ago I used to frequent G cue, Chris's & The Chicago City Pool Hall. All nice places, especially G cue (they had beautiful Gabriel tables). As far as rooms in all the various...

I'm pretty sure the windy city open has been defunct for a few years now. Many pool rooms are dieing, dead, or in various forms of decay in the chicagoland area. Lots of bars with barbox's, but vary few real pool rooms.

Come on, man

good one Potsie

I understand that some people can hit hard. I used to have an Irish friend that had so much surgical steel in his right fist that he could knock people cross-eyed. I was just surprised that this fella hit Scott square with one punch. People flinch when they see it coming - knocking people...

How does a guy go down from one punch? I've been in enough unfortunate situations to know from experience that you rarely land the first one squarely unless its a sucker punch. Was he drunk? was he not paying attention? Was it Sonny Liston that cleaned his clock??

You'd likely get more info if you posted this inquiry in the talk to a mechanic section. If you are a serious pool player and appreciate playing on good equipment, I would recommend you track down a used Brunswick Gold Crown, and then have a reputable mechanic install it for you. Even the...

Thanks Hoss....I might have to get me one of them things

I've been watching footage of Shane's play in the recent 9 Ball Grand Prix Open in Switzerland on YouTube. Apart from the strange commentators who seem to enjoy their own little two person dog and pony show as much as they do the pool, its fantastic new high definition footage of Shane doing...
