I think a lot of the Dave and Buster's are getting out of the pool business if not shutting down outright and their 6-leg A.E. Schmidt's are going as is pretty cheap. You might check around some for those. I've got one at home and although it wasn't cheap once I had it completely refurbished and...

Your screen name is certainly apropos. But I'm afraid you'll never get anywhere trying to inject said logic and plain ol' common sense. A little hyperbole and emotion might be a better approach.

I heard third hand from a normally reliable middle tier pro player in GA who knew her that she was despondent over a relationship issue and subsequently took her own life. He also said she owned a pool hall and other accounts indicate it was a restaurant, so there's that. Please don't take that...

Gold Crown indeed! You guys crack me up. That's a great plan except for one little flaw: there are basically no GCs in the Atlanta area, and really very few to none in the whole south. The Gandys saw to that. Roy would outfit an entire pool hall with his tables, take back a slow note as...

When I was coming up, 8 ball was only played by girls and sometimes at the youth center at local churches. No serious pool player would even admit to knowing what it was. 10 ball was never even heard of. 9 ball and 1 pocket were the only serious games for action at any pool hall I was ever in...

Lot of opinions in this thread, and I'm not sure any of them are likely to change anyone else's mind. But this particular post by Jay speaks the absolute truth on several levels.

I have a 6 legged A.E. Schmidt 9’ table that was rescued from 30+ years of probable abuse at Dave and Busters, then rehabbed. Plays great and no sag. Just got my room done and hoping to post a pic or two soon.

Troy, I'll take #14 also. Just sent PP. Thanks, Ed

Good seller and a nice case.

Probable answer to the riddle When you call McDermott you never really know who you're gonna get. Often you'll get a receptionist type who tries to help without wanting to bother anybody else, but today I got a guy who had production experience and knew exactly what I was describing to him. It...

This is fine and nicely illustrated, but it isn't the problem i'm describing on the current McDermotts.

Precisely! I can't imagine they would mix up standard 3/8x10 joints with modified 3/8x10 joints all in the same year of production. All 5 of my G-series cues and shafts were made in 2018 and are obviously G-Core shafts. But not all the shafts will fit easily on all the butts, and I'm not talking...

It is weird. But in doing some deep googling it appears that it is indeed a real thing and fairly well known among those who have tried swapping McDermott 3/8x10 shafts from one McDermott butt to another. No one seems to have an answer as to why other than "that's just how it is with...

Yes, all McDermotts of recent production 2017-2018. Even before the incident with the mid extension, I had McDermott make me a shaft for a G series cue. This required sending the butt in. When the new shaft came in, it wouldn't easily fit my other two McDermott G series butts. I'm not even...

I like and use several McDermott cues and for a decent American made player grade cue I think they're worth the money. But for some strange reason their 3/8x10 joints are not uniform across randomly picked cues. You can have a shaft made for one cue and then try to screw it on another current...
