    Two GC1's for sale in Utah

    I have a friend in here in salt lake that has two 9' gold crowns (GC1's I believe) with "pristine slates." I haven't seen the tables but I would tend to believe him based on him being a prominent former pool room owner. He had over a dozen to choose from when he left the business and these two...

    In what circumstances does the weaker player get more advantage from tighter pockets?

    I prefer playing straight up, even when I am outmatched. I don't like getting beat up on the table and it makes me play better. This way i'm forced to be like the player I'm trying to become instead relying on a handicap to give the player I am a chance. Just my preference, maybe this makes...

    In what circumstances does the weaker player get more advantage from tighter pockets?

    Depends on what type of player the better player is imo. If you are a center ball shooter, tighter pockets are probably a strong advantage, as you have broken the game down more to being likely decided by whoever shoots the ball truer. If the better player knows how to move whitey around the...

    Pool table brands to avoid?

    Took me over 6 months to find a gold crown, was worth the wait 10x over. All I did to change my luck was stop searching the want ads/ web and ask the hosts at the local hall who had the goods. Text chain ended up 6 people deep on referrals, but I eventually found a guy with a whole pile of...

    Won Friday night even after the worst sharking EVER!

    Most pathetic sharking I've seen lives in the college union halls, the "oh I lost" at the bar before the game is over has nothing on the 20 year old kid standing behind the pocket swinging his stick around like he is in the drumming section of the marching band. I played a big intimidating guy...

    While the PJ's the movie didn't do well, it certainly had it's run through the theatres, definitely did not go straight to video.

    Pool hall junkies

    I beat Mars, the main actor in the movie. He ran the rack on me and then scratched the 8 ball. Guy has the softest handshake of any human being I have ever met. Color of money was a good reason to pop popcorn and enjoy something for a couple hours, Cruise and Newman were good enough to be...

    Brunswick GC 1--thoughts?

    I bought mine for 1200 I think? Mine had a couple pieces swapped out from other gc1's they had from the liquidated hall, but the slate matched up and the guy assured me that if I had any complaints he would remedy. Local table pro set it up new 860 and new rails for another 800 bucks. I don't...

    Last of the Great Pool Halls?

    One of the favorite places I've ever been to is "luckys" in eugene oregon. Not a ton of tables, but one big golf table hidden where all the cigars and moustaches can be seen under the lights, the rest are around 5 centennials I believe? Either way, it had been there since the 20's. Never...

    WWYD - 9 Ball ghost

    Playing steady or against someone better than me I'd play off 3 to hit 4/6 as option #1. 4-9 isn't too bad if I'm running hot or playing with house money up a few games. Curious how others would play this. I like topspin shot off 3 playing end rail to hit 6-4 up table. Shooting 4 in either...

    Looking for thoughts about 5 old unknown cue shafts?

    Funny, when I bought it I was under no assumption that it was actually a schon, but the first thing I said when I saw it was "design wise it kinda looks like a schon" :D
