Nice message. Don't recognize the guy. Haven't been to Bluegrass in a couple of years. I know plenty of guys who are regulars there. Maybe they'll see this.

I ralise that my GC III is nothing like the VII but the return rails were removed, taken apart and set aside, when my drop pockets were installed. Perhaps the return rails are inside of the table on the GC7 instead of underneath the rails.

Forgotten ball in a negative pocket? Pay attention! I know. After 4 hours of one pocket I can easily make a free shot beautifully into my opponents pocket. He'll say that that is his pocket. I usually say, " time to put the old man to bed." I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it...

A good table mechanic will know where to resource them.

I play on Diamonds nearly every day. I have a very tight GC III in my basement and grew up on GC'S. Love them both. I'm probably wrong but the GC plays more solid to my way of thinking. Love them both, both premier tables. Got my GC with a box and converted it to a drop pocket. Getting my steps...

Got it. They weren't for you. All the best.

Very surprised.

They worked perfectly for me. Only wore them for pool. Put them in before I left for the poolroom otherwise wore my glasses. Contacts were a tool and they worked great. Of course new lenses after Cataract surgery worked better. No need for Contacts anymore. No billiard glasses either. From what...

Get contacts. Problem solved. Trust me. Been there. I know, you don't like putting your fingers in your eyes. Persevere. You'll get used to it and be glad you did. You can get Dailys, weekley, biweeklys, monthlys. Thank me later.

Agreed. Sunglasses while driving all of the time now. Medical miracle when it comes to pool. Cut the shit out of that ball all of the way up the long rail.

Contacts worked perfectly for me. I had them prescibed for distance. I have an astigmatism and they worked well for years. I had cataract surgery a few months ago. Brand new lenses. Pretty close to 20/20 now.

The poolroom is a playground.

Just ponied up $325 to play in a 730 and under 10 ball tournament on beautiful 9 foot Diamonds. Open tournament. No handicap. Double elimination. Why did I do that? To test myself. At around 5am the 2 guys that were left took a split. Both were 729 fargos. Interesting day. Caught up with a lot...

Okay. Whatever you do for you is right.

Okay. All I'm saying is you be you in your progression through the game. I hope it serves you well. I have a different approach if that's okay with you.
