I have been fixing up a dirt cheap dead gold crown on a zero budget and just now have finally made it playable, but my slow cloth and cheap balls make this table horrible to play on. Nothing works right like draw or english or masse or even working my way around 3 rails is difficult with this...

My advice is try the surgery if you have a top surgeon and they say the odds are good the pain will improve, with a second opinion confirming that so you don't have to take pain pills. I have multiple crushed vertibrae and collapsed disks and can't afford surgery and don't have insurance. Pain...

I started writing why I thought it was different, got long winded, then just deleted it and went with the following. Basically give all men sex changes, hormones, tits that get in the way and in some cases weigh a ton, and shorten and weaken the men so their reach and break strength is all...

That is odd isn't it? It's the weird angle... I think. Either that or it's so cold his balls shrank. :grin: I tend to think there are psedo standards just because there are two main pro tables most places use, gold crowns and diamonds. Or gold crown knock off's. It's pretty rare to see a room...

It's hard to tell with the angle of the pic and the tape so far from where it should be, but they are over 4.5" minimum, they could be closer to 5 because the angles are cut so wide and it's hard to tell in the pic where the edge of the nipples actually are. Either way it's a big funnel shaped...

Ouch this is sounding painful and costly. Wow what shitty luck. Have you heard of this before gc4 because it's news to me, and since I'm still watching for bargain anniversaries I'm really curious how bad this turns out to be... I bet you're going to opt to extend the subrails and reprofile?

It does look tighter there, but you should be putting your tape from nipple to nipple, or putting the balls across nipple to nipple, the back of the pocket measurement is still meaningless.

I like watching earl but lets be honest, he would whine no matter what. He whines about everything. He whines about gimmicky stuff like jump cues yet he's all over every gimmick there ever was. I have seen him use a jump cue too, he doesn't always use a full cue. I've also heard him whine about...

Yea those aren't 4", the angle of the pocket openings is wider and much larger at the front than the 4" at the back. Probably would be more likely to spit balls out that rattle though but not 4".

I have to agree that's just a bit rediculous. Why not play pool on snooker tables so everyones game is really off? Oh and make the balls different sizes. This reminds me of the IPT where they did 8 ball on slow nap cloth on 9'ers with tight pockets, made me feel it was just set up to give that...

Wow, Nice. Actually looks a little too nice, that table looks new but we know it can't be being a 4. How old is it, and where did it come from? Must not have come from a pool hall. Besides that RKC is cheating you or your next mechanic the healthy and muscle building activity of removing...

I've read that anniversaries and centennials will use gold crown return systems. They seem to have the same slates and same frames, not sure if they use the same pockets, but that should be easy to look up. Contact classicbilliards.net who sells parts for all these tables and ask them. If...

If you post pics and an ad in the for sale section here showing condition and set a reasonable price, you can probably easily find a buyer here. It should easily cover the costs of your new drop pockets if not twice that or more, just all depends on the condition. Shipping will probably be...

The older gold crowns have better rail rubber than new ones and are still quite often good even after 50 or 60 years. Luckily mine were good on my 47 year old gold crown which I got for a bargain and you'll find a lot of people reporting the same for tables as old as anniversaries and...

cool...:cool: I'm excited and looking forward to it.:thumbup: Your slates are supposed to be a matched and pinned set just like the gc, so how would you pop a seam with pinned slates? Pins ground off? If the pins are there but it still doesn't level the seam perfectly and keep it that way, it...

Great, thanks. I'm still not even ready for it yet, but I appreciate it. It was too hot to do much the last several days but I did manage to do some cleaning of the garage and test out the slate with the pockets installed as is and rails as is. Turns out there is a funny roll on one edge...

Just watch this match where Corey Dueul's consistent break kills Mika 11:0 and lays out nearly identical ball placement after the break time and time again, it explains his view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YarbIPFTYLk I think it's how the game should be, a perfect rack should break the same...

I'm 43 and my health is poor too, bad back, so I just finally started getting serious about pool also and got my own table a GC1. So I get where you're coming from. My all time favorite hobbies were motorcycling, quads, sandrails, boating, well just give me something with a motor really but...

Very nice:thumbup:, this girl is more my type though, more real and more curvy... "Who wouldn’t be stunned by the sexiness and beauty of her face, and surprisingly by her billiard skills that’s quite surpassing? This Fil-American Pool Player is gaining some popularity not only in the pool...

I'm not an expert either, there are few true experts and they often don't last too long. RIP Amy
