Randy's sons delivered mine last month and did a fine job. It's refreshing to do business with pool people who, keep their word, are on time, do a professional job and have a good attitude. Unlike some of the drama queen mechanics who post here. Randy gets two thumbs up.

I'd work it till I could do it. Around twenty years ago I attended a fly fishing school. Toward the end of the weekend my right arm was pretty damn sore. So I switched to my left. Holy smokes, I could cast farther and way more accurately with my left. I was astonished. The instructor said it was...

Well the cowboy might have derailed the thread but I like his analogy. 20 years ago I received a two tone GMT Master ll for my birthday. Yes indeed it's eye candy. Because with all that fit and finish talk nobody mentioned how well a Rolex keeps time. I have a Tag that's at least 35 years old...

And Jay, that's another place where some money is. Maybe most, if your good enough. I could see where a pro could make 250 G's, for a while. Back then. Now with I-phones you would become known to soon. And with drinking and drugs the no pot to piss in is just around the corner. Look at the...

As you jump on Scotts math, maybe he just conflated all the numbers being floated here. Jayburger says $250 per week, plus 100 percent of lessons. Tax free? And Jay Helfert puts lessons at $50-100 per. plus 100 percent of repairs, plus a commission on sales. I would wonder about repairs being...

Ten years ago I bought a GC IV. It came out of a pool hall without much use. Mint condition and when the new Simonis went on it was the very first time it was ever recovered. But as others have said, get a quality mechanic to deliver and set it up. It will be worth it. There are Frankentables...

I was thinking the same as Thunder but a little more ah, strongly. Anyone can buy a lathe. Not everyone can be a machinist, or cuemaker. Close enough is not good enough. Go look at someone's drill press. If it has a circular line of little holes across the table the owner is an incompetent...

Wow, very nice. Can you even count the rings it the timeless shaft?

maha, good point, glad I stopped. mikemosconi, did you ever play in Joe's Last Chance Saloon, late sixties, in Blauvelt, NY? That was the barpool hangout of mine. Quarter beer, quarter game. An interesting drive back to Jersey.

What a bunch of geezer's here. Oh, I'm 70 and well, yeah that was a custom back in the day. I bet those that remember that also have a fondness for Gold Crown tables not that new fangled Diamond stuff the kids all like.

Brian mentioned it so here goes. I live sixty miles west of DC. In DC it's not politics it's a religion. My God can beat up your God. Here in the aiming section it's the same. CTE is a religion. Anyone that dares question it is blasphemous. I admit I'm a stick aim/fractions type. But I bought...

Pink and lavender balls. Ugh. Did PC have something to do with this? The black part is OK.

I've had a GC IV in my basement for ten years replacing a furniture grade table. And very happy I did. But a couple of weeks ago a Valley barbox went in next to it. Still learning about a funny roll down the rails and that's OK. Variety is the spice of life. Very good training for finding rat...

Funny Bob Jewett should jump in here on this problem. I believe that this only started happening around the country after he got into a argument with King Cobra about the size of standard pool balls. Bob was firm in his belief that two and a quarter was the American standard. But the world's...

I took a major cross county motorcycle trip on my 50th. Retired two years later. 20 years later still riding hard. Your best years can be ahead of you if your willing to grab them and hang on for the ride.

In bullseye pistol or precision rifle it is very important. Incorporating a breathing pattern into your PSR could only help. By how much? That would be interesting subject matter for Dr. Dave. Maybe Scott Lee and Randy G. could work it into their teachings with eye pattern. Intake on set, with a...

Oh, that's is so 1969.

Another observer of dumpster fires here. I really don't give a rats butt about who or how someone uses CTE, ghost, fractions or voo-doo to aim. But you were implying the book was out in the original post. Everybody knows it. You loose credibility in this war of words.

Gee, I was just thinking "Justin" as I read this. Then Bob reminds me of the Ram Shot. This thread is a trip down memory lane. Who was it that came up with that Ram Shot anyway? At seventy I can't remember the details. Not that this deserves to be remembered. Think of at as lockdown syndrome.

In mid April raycharlesbrown posted a referral to Randy Tate and barpooltables out of NC. I asked Ray some questions here and PM's. He was most helpful so thank you Ray. I've been wanting a Valley barbox to accompany my Gold Crown for a few years now. My local dealer had no interest in...
