Buy the Schmelke sneaky Pete cue- you cAN BUY DIRECT OR FIND SOME AT TIMES IN THE FOR SALE SECTION HERE

Try Blue Loctite- will keep the bolt firm but the bolt could still be removed at a later date.

Taom V10- after 60 years of Master Chalk- I just installed a new table 6 months ago and switched to Taom V 10. The difference in cleanliness of your table and equipment is night and day- literally. The Taom cost me $20 but two on the table lasted 5 months of almost daily play - I am an old...

You will recover- you are strong, believe it- we all believe in you!

Six months ago I moved back to the Northeast. I had a nice GC3 installed on my third floor finished room below my attic. The table and table install were very reasonable - my biggest shock was trying to hire an electrician to install a basic 4 lamp billiard light - see below photo. Two...

Search eBay by zip code 100 mile range and the search word Brunswick with your desired price range. Also call any internet listed pool table dealers within a 100 mile range of your home - this is how I found a great GC 3 six months ago

There is an intense physical and mental aspect to the game. Moving up in rank involves many aspects of the game- the more naturally gifted with the mental and physical aspects of the game will proceed faster with dedication. The least naturally gifted would need intense dedication combined with...

The collection shows just how much in high esteem the game of pool/billiards was going way, way back. Also, to imagine the early 1900 major American newspaper sports pages held news about Babe Ruth and a major pool tournament at the same level of coverage. This entire billiard collection...

Nice case, congrats on the case and the anniversary! My wife , too, always is willing to buy me pool related stuff on special occasions - we are fortunate!

This looks like an older Titilist forearm and the cue looks to be in a rougher condition - - honestly - It may be a Gina cue but certainly on the low end of his current price range - My opinion is a $2,000 ask price - maybe $2500 - but I don’t think that you would get even the $2,000...

Yes I believe that Doc and Gus knew each other. I seem to remember many of Doc 's cues did not have points and were not actually signed- he would put a penny dated the year of cue make under the bumper . I would check for the pennies as that may be the only way to authenticate for most people...

I see the ideal greatest players as those that possess two mindsets but with equal weight. One that can devote equal skill and equal emphasis on either aspect of the game with the end goal of winning as the main driver . Smart enough to hide from the enemy until there is an opening for a...

We were talking about really good safety players so I am assuming that they are not leaving a shot - burying the white ball. “Constantly “ blowing out safeties means that the safeties are no good - ID care how good the shot maker facing the safety- you leave a makeable short than you left a bad...
