I don't think either of them wants Kim badly enough to play a race longer than about 5 games. LOL.

I definitely like the Super Pro set the best of all the ones I've been able to use.

I had a Blackheart Hard on my OB shaft... what a piece of trash. It mushroomed worse than any medium or hard tip I've ever had. I even took it down a few layers, reshaped, and still it mushroomed. Had to cut it off -- hated it.

I had been playing with a normal sized cue, but had a Balance Rite extension. Then, when I switched to a snooker-type stance (more square to the cue ball and the table, chin on cue), I found that I didn't need the extension and could play with the normal length cue. I'm 6'3". I think that maybe...

Shane's a beast, but this guy can barely put one rack at a time together. No wonder he didn't even get halfway.

Also, that whole test of a five ball combo shot up the rail past the side pockets that someone mentioned as a test of whether pockets play fair.... I just did that test on three different tables, all sub 4" at Hard Times, and they all passed easily. The tables are hard but fair and they punish...

Without going into things said in confidence, a large part has to do with high cost, the fact that he quoted 2 weeks per table (which basically renders two tables unplayable at a time) meaning it would lose revenue for that whole time and take 7 months to do the whole room, plus it would end a...

No. They're not. He's not doing anything there. The owners told him as much last week. And that's directly from the horse's mouth. If you disagree, PM me and I'll be happy to explain why I know this as a rock solid fact.

No problem. Just adding a little realism, since poolrooms are a business. Don't worry, I'll keep it to myself going forward, Forum Police. By the way, I did say I thought it looked nice earlier. No doubt about that. Wouldn't mind trying it out if I were closer to Chico. But of course We only...

The poolroom I play at used a nationally renowned mechanic who operates much more efficiently; he did recovering, leveling, and rails in MUCH much less time. And we're talking about 30 tables. He also charges much less. I have first hand knowledge of the particulars. To each their own, of...

Good lord, that is a ridiculously long time. No wonder nobody hires him to do whole rooms (that I know of). On a more positive note, I'm glad you're happy with the table. Looks very nice.

How long did it take for this table to get done, start to finish?

Well, with his holier-than-thou attitude, terrible people skills/customer service, and reputation for not delivering on a deadline, I can think of one large place in Sacramento he won't likely be getting any business. Ever.

Thank you for pointing that out! I didn't notice the difference in timing until you mentioned it. That's an area I'll definitely try to improve. As far as the bridge length, that's how I've always shot, but I would agree that it gives a larger margin for error. It just feels awkward for me to...

Hi Fran, I appreciate you taking the time to give me your feedback. :) I typically run rotational or pattern drills and tap the table where I would like to leave the cue ball before I shoot my shot, when practicing. This video was just shooting a simple shot several times so that if there...

I'll give that a try. Perhaps I'll post a video when I'm shooting the ball medium/slow speed as a comparison. I don't often have to hit the ball that hard. I think I was doing it largely because I figured a hard shot into a tight pocket would amplify any stroke imperfections. I believe I was...

Thank you, Tony! I'll give that a try. As far as the draw stroke is concerned, I typically do shoot about a tip lower than shown. I'm not sure why I chose to do it that was when I was being taped. I think I was trying to maintain the same speed of stroke, but draw the ball just a little bit. But...

Hello all, This is the first time I've posted a video of myself shooting. I've recently adjusted my stance and stroke to closely resemble a snooker stance/stroke. I asked my girlfriend to record me shooting a few straight in shots from a side angle so that you can see the footwork and arm/head...

Bergman plays with a Lambros, with the standard maple shaft, I believe. Brandon Shuff plays a Mezz with the plain maple shaft as well. Carlo Biado plays with a Pierce cue, standard shaft.
