This is a 9x4.5 foot pool table. Brunswick Anniversary pool table with ball return. Cosmetically restored. This table spent the last 60 years in a private residence. Short time in a pool hall before that. The table is currently disassembled. I have Simonis 860 in tournament blue for the table...

Yes! Exactly it is Apple Green, I really like the color. I think it’s going to look great on the 10 foot table. I saw Apple Green on 1 thread on here and I wanted to give it a try. Also, I’m just tired of tournament blue, it’s everywhere and shows dirt like crazy. It’s going to be a while...

Room is definitely the issue. I enjoy the pool hall, always try to support local pool halls. I like playing in tournaments, but it’s nice to have tables at home. For me, of course it’s nice to practice, but it’s almost meditative. It’s a great mental exercise. For space, I have converted my...

I played on a 7 foot pro-am for the first time this fall on a trip to Tennessee, those things are a blast! Great table. I like the full size pro-am’s also. I talked with Diamond during the Derby City about the ten footer they used in the big foot challenge. That’s a cool table.

Thanks! No, I still have the Ultimate. That’s set up right now while the Centennial is being finished. That Ultimate has been a great table, really enjoy playing on it. I’m going to have the cushions replaced and maybe have the pockets tightened once the Centennial is ready. I’m the domestic...

100% Agree with that! He made me the beautiful matching 10’ light also. Pretty amazing.

Yeah definitely helps that I’m 6’ 4! But, in my opinion, nothing more beautiful than a long perfect pocket speed shot rolling the length of a 10 footer!

Here’s a few more pics, yeah the wife didn’t want me to unpack everything all over the living room!

I’ve just met him recently and he’s pretty incredible in terms of his knowledge, craftsmanship and respect for the history of billiards. Like Mark Gregory and many others out there, the pool community has some artistic geniuses as craftsman and mechanics. Definitely takes a blend of skill sets...

Thought I would share some progress pictures from my table restoration of my 10 x 5 Brunswick Centennial. Mark Gregory did the rail work for me, refinished the rosewood and rebuilt the sub rail. 4.5” corners and tighter side pockets, new cushions. Had the aluminum polished to a mirror finish...

I just got my 10x5 rails back from Mark Gregory. Opened the box tonight. Man, that guy does amazing work! I got 4.5” corners and he tightened the side pockets also on my ten foot 70 year old Brunswick Centennial. Refinished the rosewood too. Can’t wait to get this table back together!

Actually I double checked, everything is solid, very tight, 5 bolts per rail on this Ultimate version. I think the head rail rubber is definitely ready to be replaced and the others are either there or headed that way. Tested again tonight and hitting from the head spot to the end rail with...

My cushions on my 9’ Connelly might need replacing, probably 15 years old. Some are playing slower, less rebound than others. How many table lengths should a ball rebound when hit hard? What’s the test to know? Still playable for sure, but I’d like them perfect. Thanks!

Anyway to do an extension on the back of that? Beautiful cue, little short for me especially.

😃 Exactly, I actually took a trip last week down to Clovis California and spent the afternoon with Bob Bebb of Rebco. Wonderful guy and amazing workshop, about 200 vintage tables. Unbelievable craftsmanship. I guess the key is if a mechanic like Bob has worked on a table, or restored it, it...

On this topic, in terms of carom tables to stay away from, anything wrong with the antique Brunswicks? I (somehow) have started to collect antique Brunswicks so I'm softly looking for a 5x10 Brunswick carom table myself, no rush, but I'm always looking at old Brunswicks. I would think the same...

Nice GC, what color are the skirts? Original pocket size or tightened? How’s the slates? Is that gold or camel color Simonis?

Yeah this is all original including the pockets. Using this as a practice table at the moment so wouldn’t be too bad if there was an issue with pockets, but as far as the design goes it seems to be working pretty well for this type of leather basket drop pocket. Not sure if all Connelly tables...

Just set up this Connelly Ultimate with 2” Italian slate. The entire table is solid oak, no veneers, no plywood. Legs are solid. Frame alone has to weigh in at 350-400 lbs. Slates are heavy! Real abalone diamonds. 4 slabs of 2” slate. 5 rail bolts per rail. Table reminds me of a carom table...
