    Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

    Without an installer ever seeing one, I would only trust a few here. There just are not many " 1st class "table mechanics. How many GC pocket conversions have I seen where the pockets were done all wrong- far to many- actually most. Same goes with new cushion replacements- one rail ends up...

    Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

    My GCIV was supposedly directly out of a pro tournament - I could not verify that. It had big pockets- 4 7/8 and the speed off the rails was surprisingly a bit slow compared to the commercial room GCs that I was playing on at the time. I have learned two things for sure after owning two...

    Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

    Yes, I actually gave away my GCIV to the guy who bought my house when I moved South- it was immaculate. I will be looking at every option, this GC VII caught my eye today, did not know about it, and the upgrades seem interesting, but I'll need some very firm reassurances to move that much cash...

    Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

    I agree on my biggest concern being the install. If this is truly a completely new build by Brunswick- what training will occur around the entire U.S. to insure that distributor install mechanics know this new table inside and out- literally. My take, as mentioned earlier, in visiting the local...

    Brunswick gold crown 7 video ..everything new walk through from the expo!

    I know- $9500 for a Diamond is a far cry from $12,500+ for a New Brunswick made in China- I have a lot to think about over the next year as I make a final decision- but I learned from my very first Olhausen table purchase - 35 years ago ( mistake!) -- not to rush these things.

    Brunswick gold crown 7 video ..everything new walk through from the expo!

    I was offered a Rasson table already- Jason Shaw has Rassons in his room in CT. owned jointly with his Korean father in law, Joe. I have known Joe for a long time - I have an opportunity to possibly buy Jason's home table at his house here in CT- but I think that it is 4 1/4 pockets from what...

    Planning My Gold Crown VII Purchase

    I would like to find a place here to play on one. I will be looking for a table as I just moved back North and I do have a billiard room size set up in the new home that I am buying and it will accommodate a nine foot table. I would possibly invest $12,500 if it included full set up and the...

    Info on this Huebler Blue Mammoth and Elephant Ivory Cue set,please? Buttcap, both ferrules and joint are all elephant ivory.

    Certainly could list this for $1200- waiting for the " right person" was never my idea of selling - but everyone has different time frames. I think that we are in the same ballpark- I had $900 on the higher end- you see a quick sale at $1000. so listing at $1200 may indeed make sense as you mention.

    Info on this Huebler Blue Mammoth and Elephant Ivory Cue set,please? Buttcap, both ferrules and joint are all elephant ivory.

    The info on this cue is somewhat in front of you- it is a Huebler 1995 custom shop production Huebler cue. Huebler made a few different custom shop models during this time period. The production run of custom shop models was approximately 300 per model per year. These cues turn up...

    A List of the Greatest Pool Players of All-Time

    I am watching a 2024 14.1 match last night : Zeilinski vs. Archer- the new fast cloth, rail speed, and modern ball elasticity all add up to a rack that opened up completely on every break shot. Zielinski's opening high run was a cakewalk as he had basically wide open racks after each break-...
