That's exactly what I do. I ask the last five when I am asked to gamble. What's the worst thing they say, no? :)

I agree. If you are asking to gamble, you shouldn't ask for weight. At the same time, if you are asking to gamble and the person is asking the last 5 balls on a 9 ball game, you shouldn't be mad or ridicule the guy because he didn't ask you to gamble. He just wanted to hangout with his friends...

I think I am going to -try to- do this on my own like Mike. I will buy extended rails and custom cut shims. If I have the correct angle, the ball hits the facing will go in the pocket instead of staying at the shelf. My question is, if I buy diamond extended rails ( I am not even sure where to...

The most I use is maybe a half tip side spin unless the ball is at the pocket and I need to spin the crap out of the cue ball to get far. However I am a guy who can consistently run about 5-6 balls in a 9 ball game on a 9 ft table. Maybe a ball or two more on a smaller table. So I am just a...

How much is to fix this Glen? Is it worth to get it fixed or I should just get a new table?

There are pocket facings. I can feel them. Very thin but there are. So probably custom made shims can make the pockets tighter but easier I am thinking.. I already posted the pictures on the "talk to a mechanic" section. If someone gives me a fair price, I will get it done. If not, I will...

Okay, Have you every seen a shelf as deep as 2 1/2 inches where the facing is? That is more than a ball. If not, check this out. If I can run out consistently on this table, I can play anyone in the world LOL

As you can see the cut angle of these pockets are out of wack. Anyone can help me with making custom made shims and installing, please pm me.

Thank you. I will post them and see what they say. Especially when the balls are close to the rail, making the balls is almost impossible. If I hit them with speed, then the ball exactly hits where I aim which is the inside of the facing and hits the other facing and goes away from the pocket...

More pictures of my frustruation :)

I believe it is brunswick century. I will take more pictures when I get home.

It is not Photoshop. I don't have time to deceive people or anything stupid like that. I believe it is a century table by Brunswick. I got it cheap on Craigslist but I am paying for it with frustration. I just wanted an opinion. That's all. It is a 9 ft table with ball return. I think the guy...

Can this pocket be a pocket that pros play and consistently run out? I am having a very hard time with this table. Why is that?

Ok I will be as neutral as possible. I have 3-4 almost identical cues and they all have different hardness of tips and all of them are kamui. I prefer hard tip to play which is their break tip. I try not to move the cue ball all that much and I believe hard tip is "honest" and "accurate" tip...

Tough table or what? http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj620/ebayturaniko/torture.png
