I use a wooden block with a wrapped old pool cloth wrapped around it (cleaned each time) Cloth is damp, not soaking wet. This method basically picks up minor dust and debris that may be on the surface. Also use a vacuum. And have washed my cloth on the table with woolite, mostly the suds, does a...

Nice Match, Thanks. Strokeone

All great replies, actually the playing surface is about 84 inches. I watched Pedro at Edgies in a tournament, very careful player, I don't remember him shooting a 5 railer. His cueball always just arrived ( to make the shot)

TO: EZ 123 Assuming you have a 220VAC European Heater, get a 2:1 transformer to double 110VAC to 220VAC. Watch the wattage rating on the transformer, it should equal or exceed the heater wattage.

I have a Louis Van Laere 2 Meter table, Long cushion measures slightly over 84", would your cushions match and are they the fastest? Thankyou, Strokeone

I have noticed that if I raise the butt end of my cue, hit the cue solid and the object ball thin, I can avoid most kisses. Anybody else notice this?

Carom Cue Being in Korea, you should be able to find a inexpensive good carom stick, even custom made, otherwise go to carombilliards.com.:)

Carombilliards always has this cue on EBay. I bought one, it is a terrific carom cue, good weight, balance AND inexpensive. They go for 30- 40 dollars with 25 shipping. However if you contact carombilliards.com directly he'll probably give you even a better deal. I have not shot with a...
