    Old Matches - How important is commentary?

    My favorite matches to watch are any matches with Buddy Hall playing and Grady Matthews announcing.

    McDermott cues in The Color Of Money

    Everything you said in this post brought back memories for me. I had a lot of different cues but was fond of Meucci's in the late 80's and 90's. I was already interested in pool before the Color of Money came out but it really ignited it to another degree. No telling how many shafts I sanded...

    Honduran Rosewood Burl Collection

    Interesting to see what everyone likes out of the group. They are all fantastic but #4 and #10 are my favorites. Great collection.

    Amazon perimeter style light

    Sure dude, you can win whatever argument you are trying to have. My original post was a response to someone considering buying a light. The same light I had sitting in a box under my table at the time. I was annoyed with that light so I relayed my experience with that in case he was still...

    Amazon perimeter style light

    I'm sure I could get by with only leaving the blinds open and having sunlight filter through. In fact, I could probably get by without a table at all. I am certain I didn't need Centennial balls but I bought those. I don't need my boat because I don't live on the water. Thing is, I am not...

    Amazon perimeter style light

    They responded to my criticism of their instructions by sending me an actual video showing how they do it. The video shows the light upside down from the instruction manual. You also have to remove the diffuser and the white plastic piece behind that in the area of the joints and then put them...

    Amazon perimeter style light

    I just bought one and it's sitting in the box on the floor waiting to go back. I've had a few people not be able to figure out how to join the pieces together. The manual they send is a two page tiny pic piece of crap. I go to the website to find a real manual, download it, doesn't match the...

    New (to me) Gold Crown IV

    I'm not sure I play well enough to know at the moment. It's a 2 hour drive round trip for us to play on any 9 footer, so this is great for me and the wife.

    New (to me) Gold Crown IV

    Just had this GCIV installed that came out of Side Pockets in Blue Springs, MO. Kim Thompson and his son came and did the install. I could not be happier. He had a lot of good things to say about the GCVII tables that replaced these. Not the greatest pic.

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    I prefer traditional looking cues. I like Joss cues quite a bit. The stuff I find ugly is more along the lines of every carbon fiber shaft ever put on a traditional cue. I ordered a Joss 20-37 with a 12.50 mm HP shaft from them last week. I have it now, and it was $857.44. Shipped the same day I...

    BEWARE -- REPORTING A VERY BAD SITUATION INVOLVING PETE TONKIN

    I was bored today so I read this thread. Came to your post and was thinking why on earth are they defending someone who took so much money without delivering anything? I was thinking what a moron. I kept reading though.......turns out you were right.

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    I just made a deal with Kim Thompson to buy one of the GCIV's these tables replaced.

    Should I paint my GC4?

    I have been shopping for used GC for a little bit. There's a Pro 8 ashtray table for sale near me right now for $2500. I was able to find a 9 foot GCIV but almost bought this one. It wasn't white though.

    D/FW Metroplex Pool Halls

    In 1989 I joined the Army but had a delayed entry of almost 6 months. I was in OKC with nothing going on so I went to Dallas to stay with a friend until my enlistment date came. We spent our time in Dallas pool halls getting hustled and trying to win a game here and there. I don't remember the...
