Yes they did state that you would lose the quarter inch playing surface.

Classic billiard site claims that Brunswick superspeed is interchangeable with all GC1or2 tables without negative effects. They say that it is a myth that K55 cannot be used on such tables. IDK - just saying what I read today - everyone seems to have an opinion - as a guy looking now for a GC...

I also think that people here either forget or are too young to remember that 50 years ago and all before that - straight pool was always the most visible pool event to the masses in the U.S. via Wide World of Sports on TV and the major event mostly held in NYC large hotel ball rooms. Johnston...

Mike Eufemia died at an exhibition in Crown Billiards in New London Ct - Mike ran hundreds at will in practice - collapsed at the table - in the early 70s I believe.

Yes I went there and played on them. Those tables were altered to 4 1/2 pockets and cushions replaced at some point - they did not play correct IMO - the rails were unpredictable and the pockets were not done correctly - they would need major surgery to play again as a true GC

I believe that they were made for 2 years only 74 to 76. If the table is decent $1500 is a steal in terms of Northeast coast pricing anyhow - as in my present search for a table here in CT - I have guys asking $4,000 to $6,000 for good condition GC s 1 thru 4. I think that the Northeast...

The training today globally is totally different from what most beginners in America would be exposed to 50 years ago. Internet not withstanding, Training is sooo much better today for beginners around the world. I took some pool lessons 35 years ago from a few top American pros- none of them...

Some may disagree with me, and I am not sure what came first - but super fast cushions and smaller pockets just demand stroke mechanics that are so pure (and robotic in look and consistency) to be able to pocket balls and control the CB. The smaller the pockets become - the more perfectly...

I have always been a Master chalk guy - but when I get a table in my new home I will try the newer expensive chalks that supposedly leave no residue - worth a try - my son’s Brunswick Anniversary has new green Simonis and the blue Master chalk really marks up that green cloth.

I would consider the Littman - great testimonials - looking at about $1,000 or so now for this light- way more than a $300 Amazon for a nine footer. A lot to consider when choosing the best table lighting .

You can buy a Perimeter light with a dimmer. How is the Amazon light any different - how does the Amazon light not blind you? They both can be obtained with dimmers. Thousands swear by the Perimeter Billiard table light- I see them at all the European tournaments on TV- just asking bc I want to...

I think that I will go with the original Perimeter Light company for my pool table light once I buy a table in my new home. I would hesitate to buy an Amazon offered light- yes it is cheaper- why? why? --sorry but investing thousands in a table and then paying an electrician to do a correct...

I understood that Steve “lost “ a GB cue to Larry Liscotti in a match and perhaps got it back - not sure which cue.

The Hsunami 2.0 is a very nice shaft in the Keilwood family of shafts. Nice long pro taper and smooth as silk---- if you like that. LD for sure in that family of wood shafts.

Yes Ultraskin medium black or ivory will be fine - I like the ivory only bc I like a contrast between tip side when burnished and the top half. Every time that I have Mueller’s- Troy Downey do a Triangle for me - no issues - maybe they pre sort them IDK.
