If they don't fix the AC at Railyard, I don't think they are going to want to race to 7. Its been a sauna in there for 6 weeks.

Yes, no problem

Its too bad they didn't pan over for 5 seconds and show the grand trophy case in that poolroom (The Breakroom) where Shane was shooting around with the interviewer. The case is impressive.

I don't blame Shane, but I will say this: I was playing Chris Reinhold (then Robinson) at the Derby 4 or 5 years ago. We were tied 7-7 in a race to nine. I was about to hit the wrong ball and he kindly pointed it out to me without fanfare. He is a true gentleman. He ended up winning 9-8 and...

This is not in conjunction with Ra's Junior International Championship. In a way that would have been nice because Ra could have helped to create an invitational list based upon rankings. As it currently stands, there is going to be a mad rush to get signed up on Friday afternoon, first come...

What a terrible thing. Joe was a good guy. I remember playing with him in tournaments at Airway 25 years ago. I was at the Glass City Open in about 2001 or so when he beat out Alex Pagulayan. Joe was a strong player. RIP.

Carbon fiber shaft. Used it for 10 minutes, then gave it to my son.

I remember playing Gary at one of the Monday night 9 ball tournaments at Airway in 1999. We were on 9 foot Diamonds. Gary had a mildly off-angle 7-9 combination at one end of the table. The 8 ball sat 3 inches off the middle of the opposite end rail. Frank Ruby was standing behind me and...

I played on Predator cloth for the first time this past weekend in a tournament. I have Simonis 860 at home and I find it to play at a medium speed. I previously had 760 and it played fast but I really enjoyed playing at that speed. I have also played quite a bit on Andy 988 and I found that...

I moved a valley 500 miles two years ago. Its easy with 4 people (I used the seller and his 2 sons). First, remove the aluminum panels to get to the rail bolts. Remove the rail bolts, pull out the rails, then lift the slate with 4 people and set it aside. Then lift the box into a trailer...

Awesome, thanks for the help! Does anyone recommend one over the other?

Anyone know who makes some of the collapsible ball racks that are occasionally seen at tournaments, league nights, etc? Google search didn't bring up anything.

-11 here in Rapid City. Might be above zero tomorrow. Yay!

I have used bondo and Durham's. Both worked great. Durham's is more likely to crumble, but it hasn't happened to me yet.

USPS is definitely slow now. I recently sent two packages by priority and both arrived 4-5 days late. Regarding UPS, I made a purchase at Macy's last week with 1-2 day shipping and UPS has not even entered it into their system yet. I totally agree that the system is cracking. Fedex perhaps?

Kudos to Diamond Billiard Products (Greg Sullivan) and On The Wire Creative Media (Ra Hanna) for putting together this Junior Event. I was chagrined when the DCC moved to an exclusive 21-and-over venue, so this is a great effort to keep the juniors competing and improving. If you know a junior...

Thanks Trent. That's was my concern - knowing that worsted wool stretches much differently, I wasn't sure if trying to use the Simonis method for the bed cloth would work very well with a non-worsted cloth. thanks!

I have used the Simonis video technique to install Simonis cloth on my Diamond table and it worked well. Does anyone know if I can use the same technique to install Mercury Ultra cloth on the bed of an Olhausen table, or should I just use the traditional installation technique? Thanks.
