Thanks Mike. I will give that a shot. I hoping that more people will reply to my post.

HI all, Wife and I could use a little advice from seasoned knowledgeable individuals. We were wanting to replace the leather pockets on our 20 year old 8 ft. pool table, - they are scratched up by cats from previous owner. I looked on internet and there didn't seem to be many options...

lol.. I don't Jazzy, I'm too old to give a rats fart what people think, -- and it's actually crazy funny to me that you said that about the juggling because I was thinking after my last post when I was walking away from computer that I learned to juggle when I was 12 and practiced hard for...

Jazzy Jeff87 , I was talking about an 8' table, which is what I primarily played on. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I haven't spent much time studying. While others stand around and talk I keep on running racks over and over for practice, that's all I know. In my experience...

longhorns2 , first of all , I did not come here to brag or start any kind of drama. I know there are probably many many here that have skills beyond what I have. And I know I am new here, but, it's kind of rude to be calling someone a Liar. I understand if you don't believe or doubt me...

pt109, If I'm not mistaken it's a limited edition Ol hausen that only came in specially marked bags of Ol Roy dog food to celebrate the release of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Very Rare and tbh he is very lucky to have found the rarest blue one that matches his felt. -- for sure I...

Hi asbani, in a short answer: YES - The softer the tip the more spin you can get, thus increasing control also. , but, I don't use a super soft tip or a very soft tip because of quickly they wear out and need replacing, I use a Medium that is semi-soft. and still get plenty of spin and cue...

PoolFan101 - I haven't played at all in 8 years but am going to be starting up again soon in 2 months. When I did on an 8 ft. table, I would always line the cue ball up approximately 2" to 3 1/2" from the side rail. I Hit the Cue Ball CENTER CUE, no up, no down, no left, no right. If you...

Ssonerai, I agree, that is nice to know. The more I discover about this table, the happier I am with the find. And starting to feel like maybe I didn't overpay as much as I thought I did especially with it coming with a set of Aramith Balls and about an extra $100 (used value) worth of...

and yes, sorry i meant to say Brazilian in one of the prior posts and not Belgium.. lol...my brain went whack i think..

Wow! thanks 3kushn,, that is some great info! you guys and gals in this forum community are great! I am off to do more research. ---- so far I have looked at the bottoms of the legs as we have it all wrapped up for protection until we move. They are stamped/burnt in "Adams Wood...

Also, If anyone knows for sure a reputable online dealer to buy the Simonis 860 from for a good price, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the response PoolHall, yes we are commited.. lol We will not know if we like it until we do all the new items to it, to be honest, i kinda like that 2 of the pockets are all scratched up, gives a story and character, we are not the kind that is going to worry too much if people...

Thanks for the response 3Kushn. -- well, the wife and I love to play pool, played on leagues for recreation for years, i achieved the top handicaps in the different leagues and lost interest in paying each week, ( got real expensive for the two of us after Dues/Gas/Drinks/food if running...

Hi, Long story short: Wife and I thought we were getting a good deal on a used, what was supposed to be an A.E. Schmidt Capricorn --- we drove 2 hours to disassemble and pick it up. From the pictures on Schmidt (with no closeups) it looked right (of course noone seems to post close ups of...
