I am in my 70s

Aurora was the big home slot car racing set company in the early to mid 60s- they sold hundreds of thousands of those sets at Christmas time. During Christmas time we would put a 4x8 plywood over our 7 foot home pool table to race the slot cars. My older brothers had the Big Lionel train...

I bought the $129 Amazon Chinese ball cleaner and it works perfectly. I think that paying $400 to $750 for a ball cleaner is absurd- those $129 ones are just fine for home use- with new Simonis and TAOM chalk you can go a long time between using the cleaner - should last for years with modern...

I did not go with the Perimiter- I called them first and did not like the conversation - here was my final choice - $550- works great - 4 shades and 82 inches long - perfectly centered at 45 inches above table with 4 100W LED bulbs

Yes

I got mine from Lighting New York website - they had a special at $ 550-yes this a Z lite - brushed nickel with brass over glass shades- I set shades at 45 inches above the table to avoid shadows

Enjoy it as much as possible - I installed a GC3 in my new home a few weeks ago and I am so happy to have a home table again- you play as much as you desire, when you feel like playing, and without having to deal with those you don’t want to deal with every day. Mine plays just great for me

This cue is an exceptional / near mint example of this desired model Meucci. Meucci original coated wrap, 12.75 original 95-19 cue tip, cue butt is 15.8 and...

Agree on all counts. Europe started all kinds of pool clubs and leagues in the early 80s and youngsters were drilled in correct mechanics and straight pool pattern process . When I played in the 60s and 70s into the early / mid 80s we all just played for enjoyment with no thought of proper...

I believe that they were 5 inch pockets - I agree- running 820 is an accomplishment in any event .

Yes he was absolutely correct in his advice in 1991 but , as you said, explaining how that should actually look like as the cue stick meets and goes through the cue ball is the key. The use of video today makes all the difference in actually knowing and then correcting stroke flaws. Many of...

I just moved from Naples Florida back to the NE- do NOT go to the west coast of Florida for pool - what this person said is entirely true - you want to be on the east coast of Florida for nine foot pool rooms . I have my own table again here and could not be happier .

Pool participation is a very different dynamic today than, say, both post pool movie boom years of 62 to 69 and 87 to 2000. Today league play dominates the pool room scene. Seven foot tables have all but taken over many, many rooms that still exist or even those that are opening as new...

I had a GC 3 installed in my new home on Friday - it looks and plays great as far as I am concerned- it is a matter of preference and also a matter of, IMO , of one’s favorite games - mine being 14.1- the GC is my choice - perhaps if it were one hole and 9/10 ball I would look at the Diamond...
