Well, I had an opportunity to shoot on the camel, grey, blue and green Simonis the past 2 days, and I settled for the Simions 860 green. It in my opinion had the better clarity between ball and cloth. It is however alot faster then the felt that I am using, and will take some getting used to...

Cloth Color That camel color is impressive. Does anyone have a picture of a table with the grey? I played on an electric blue, and it seems just too bright. Maybe I'll shoot on it a few more times, and see if i can get used to it.

I recently recovered my worn cloth with a wine colored cloth. It's not the same anymore. Lighting and contrast between object balls has lost something. I just don't enjoying practicing as long. Has anyone else made this same mistake. Additional lighting hasn't helped. It just seems that the...

Actually, this is the game they were playing:

My neighbors came home from a local pool hall earlier, and the pool hall had purchased a couple of Billiard and Golf scoreboards, for the younger generation to use. However, apparently the adults had taken over the tables where the scoreboards were mounted. There was a list of players waiting to...

Table type 30 year old Brunswick, Windsor VIP, 3 piece slate, and a solid piece of equipment. Anyone else have one of these? I haven't seen anything yet that I would care to replace it with.

Billiards for visitors A one half hour drive to Drexel Hill, and you can shoot at Drexeline Billiards. Friendly and professional staff, a great group of neighborhood players, and just a safe and enjoyable day. And they open earlier then the other local shooting establishments. You won't regret it.

14-1 practice I have about 5 or 6 serious drills that I practice each day, but I use a warm up before doing the drills. I scatter 4 balls at the foot end, ball in hand and run them. If I miss one, the four go up again until I run them. Then 5 balls scattered, ball in hand and run them. If I...

Table size....... 30 year old Brunswick Windsor VIP. Still like new. Well made. Would like a 9 footer, but wall constraints prohibit. But still, thousands of hours of fun.

Drills... The fundamentals I have been working on for several months now, and I have a faiirly good grasp of the ones that still need a little work. My biggest problem is that I don't have anyone to play against that would cause me to focus sharply. The ones I play, neighbors and friends, can't...

I've been playing pool for the past 40 years (I have my own table), and I'm not any better then I was after the first ten years. But I have more time to spend shooting now, and am interested in getting better. I strictly shoot straight pool. I have read all the books available, and pay...

I would like to thank all of you for your advice and comments. I would have responded sooner, but an unscheduled medical short procedure interrupted things. I tried to post some pictures of the cue, but they were too large, and I'm not capable of reducing them. My son is coming to visit this...

Can you instruct me on how to post it?

I'm going to be attending the Expo the week after next, and am thinking of bringing along an old Ralph Greenleaf signatured cue stick I own. I'm somewhat leary though, and am wondering if it would be a mistake to try and sell it there. Are there vendors that will be buying items from the public...

I would like to thank all of you for the advice and opinions. I went out this morning and bought a set of Super Aramith Pro balls (not the tv model). This set has the aramith symbol on the cue ball. I spent most of the afternoon practicing, and am well satisfied with their performance. The only...
