    Men vs Women

    I remember Ronnie O'Sullivan "joking" that he knew he was getting close to the end of his snooker career...because he was starting to be friendly with his opponents (paraphrasing). Eating breakfast with them and such. Apparently, he would never do that earlier in his career. It's lonely at...

    Ping Pong Balls That Look Like Pool Balls?

    That looks really good. I made several stringers for myself and friends with miniature balls last year. Same way with a jig and drill press. I just used a cable with a turnbuckle to get the string tight. I was just hoping to save some weight by using ping pong balls. Thanks for the idea to...

    Ping Pong Balls That Look Like Pool Balls?

    I've seen plenty of 8 balls but not the rest of the set. They don't really have to be ping pong balls...just something similar in size and weight. Looks like I'll be back to the drill press with the solid miniatures :(

    Ping Pong Balls That Look Like Pool Balls?

    I am trying to make some stringers/counters and I was hoping to find some billiard themed ping pong balls but I'm not having any luck. Has anybody seen these before? I made a few with miniature pool balls last year but they get kind of heavy and I spent ALOT of time at the drill press. If you...

    Dimond ball cleaner RPM

    I tried the same thing to "reverse engineer" Diamonds polisher. You won't save as much money as you think unless you work in a machine shop. The motors are EXPENSIVE. Then you'll need to reduce the speed via a large pulley or gear reducer of some sort. Then you need to build the...

    Anybody know a good mechanic who can fit new Northern Rubber to my 90 year old snooker table? I live in Southern Indiana...was hoping maybe someone would be coming to the Derby City Classic in a few months and I could take advantage of their time in the area. I won't bore everyone with the...

    Snooker Cushion "Nose" Height??

    I posted this in the Mechanic Forum but thought I should put it here also... I have been searching and searching for the proper "nose" height (from the bed of the table) for L-77 profile snooker cushions. I am using 2 1/16" balls. Since the "nose" of the cushion is actually a 3/8" flat face, I...

    I have been searching and searching for the proper "nose" height (from the bed of the table) for L-77 profile snooker cushions. I am using 2 1/16" balls. Since the "nose" of the cushion is actually a 3/8" flat face, I am also not sure which part of the face to measure to. The middle? Top...

    6x!2 Finally Setup!!

    Jason, I just kept the cloth from the previous owner...primarily because it is still in good shape and I wanted to see how well the table plays before I invest more money in the Strachan. I intend to put snooker cloth on it eventually. I have a 9' Diamond Professional right next to it with 860...

    6x!2 Finally Setup!!

    I finally found an OLD 6x12 table and got it set up in my basement. If anyone is passing through the Louisville, KY area I would be glad to have you stop by for a few frames. This is the only 6X12 I am aware of in the area.
