Wow, I'd never even heard of Victor tables before you guys mentioned it. Definitely looks like the same table. I'll take some pics of the ball return setup underneath later today. However, it's far from "silent". lol

I'm trying to find any information on brand/model of this table. It's an 8 foot table with 3 piece slate that came from down around the Winter Haven, FL area back in the 70's.

You're correct on all points regarding why one wouldn't want to play in tournaments. However, at this point I'd suggest doing the regional qualifier. You've already paid the $$ for the qualifying board and the regional tourney does not charge you entry. Not playing in it means you spent the $$...

While swallowing one's pride and admitting that a lesser player had a good point or made an astute observation is a bitter pill, in this case it seems that it was worth listening to them. Personally, I evaluate all suggestions and criticism from other players equally until I can rationalize why...

Heath is great. I bought a Mezz cue from him a couple years ago. He went out of his way to contact me after I put in my cue order in on his site. I had specified my order with a 30" shaft (instead of the standard 29") which wasn't in-stock initially. He contacted me the next morning because he...

Touche'! :thumbup:

Agreed! Which is the exact reason I haven't been able to convince the wife to let me bring one in our house yet. lol

You don't have to base your table purchase on the logo that's on the table when you buy it. Felt is easily replaced by a table mechanic so if you're going to buy a table and have it installed in your house (or wherever) I'd suggest getting a good table first and foremost and then order felt with...

Anyone know anything about the on-demand catalogue on Vimeo for Accu-stats?? I subscribed to the channel at the beginning of this year after seeing that they'd added a large assortment of matches from a handful of events and the accu-stats production was top notch like it always has been...

100% agree about Seyberts. To follow up Cardigan's comment above, I recently had an extraordinary experience with Heath from https://manningcues.com/ and want to give kudos where they're due. Less than a month ago I ordered one of the new~ish Mezz AXI production cues from Heath's website. It...

My comfort zone is based upon whether I feel like I have a chance to control the table given the opportunity in a match. Being dead money is never fun and at times can tend to drain one's excitement for the game if you're unable to put yourself in a position to win games. One just needs to be...

Of course you think that...jack is the only one that agreed with anything you said. Shane is far from my favorite player by the way, but he is one hell of a player and deserves respect. He will always be in the discussion for best of all time regardless of what haters like you will continue to...

ROFL! Where are you from? You sound like a blatant anti-american hater with that '...an american bully...' line. Stop stereotyping and judge him by who he is (I seriously doubt you know him at all) and not where he's from bro or you're just as bad as the group you're trying to put him in. Also...

As a lot of people have pointed out already it's a balancing act between developing/maintaining one's fundamentals/form and the competitive edge together in parallel. IMHO you have to develop your stroke and fundamentals, but you also have to condition yourself to be able to consistently...

I probably sound like a broken record b/c I've asked this a lot over the past year, but why isn't Ronnie Alcano part of this group?
