    Brunswick slate compatibility

    Ive seen gold crown tables with one of the slates swapped out from another gold crown, and even then they don't match up. How bad is the slate you have? Is one piece messed up , or are all the 3 pieces junk. You should post the question about what your looking to do over on the ,,Ask the...

    English on the break shot.

    In certain situations English will also eliminate a scratch after pocketing the object ball on the break. Lots of times I use high outside English when pocketing the ball on the break. The cue ball after contacting the object ball will then collide with the rack and then the high English will...

    Unusual/weird/unique billiard tools and implements

    Lay two of these down one on each side at the very base of the cue ball , with the cutout touching on each side. That's the way we handle marking the spot. Just pick up the ball clean it and put it back in place between the two scuffers...

    What are you cleaning your cloth with?

    After switching over to the Toam V10 chalk, I brush the cloth down once every 2 weeks and then vacuum the mess accumulated down at the end of the table. Then I use the simonis X1 cleaning dohickee to finish up. After that I use the X1 about once a week to tidy up. The X1 didn't do very much...

    Taom Chalk

    Will be starting into my 3rd cube later this month or maybe august. I chalk on every shot as part of routine , so being a chalk that you don't have to use on each and every shot doesn't come into play. In as a room owner saying that blue is the only allowed chalk, that's his play . As most...

    Taom Chalk

    Wow,,10 times as many miscues because you are using Toam V10 chalk. Better find yourself a better chalk to help stop that problem. I for one have seen very little of that problem happening , no worse than Masters for me. Hardly ever, miscue

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    Thanks for the above. The cue that had me worried about all this , is my Zamboti that Gus built for me back in 79. Barry replaced the wrap in 2003 or so if my memory serves. Just was freaking a bit to see how much moisture it had absorbed, and was worried about what that could do to a high end...

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    It's flat humid in the Piedmont area of Va and it always has been. To add we had 6 days of rain last week , and on the first day of it 5 1/2 inches fell in 6 hours.

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    Might have to check into this. There are 3 large Train Heat Pumps controling the temp in the house and thought that was also to control the humidity factor as well. Basement area is around 3000 sq feet finished and not seeing the problem anywhere else in the house, just in the game room. Might...

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    35 to 40,000 miles I drive out on the road calling on customers all up and down the East Coast calling on Manufacturing Companies for 40 years. I'm not home much and now at 70 , I'm still pushing it and seeing folks. To Quote --I've seen the Wife's Job and I Don't Want It.

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    Man you really got me pegged. Wife and I were at a 4 day music fest last month camping out. After the first day , the wife picked 47 Ticks Off My Back. One of my cousins heard about what happened and called me the laziest SOB he had ever met. I asked what was up. Told me the ticks proved how...

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    I have a de-humidifier in the basement , but it's in a different part of the basement and not in the room. There isn't a spot in the room that I can run a drain. so I guess I'll just have to empty the thingamajig when it's time. I'm sure the table's cloth is absorbing moisture also and that can...

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    I thought about that, but with my Wife's duties , I would really hate to add having her to empty the water that accumulates from one of those things.

    Wet Irish Linen Wrap

    Having problems with my cues that have Linen wraps , staying damp or just plain wet. I have searched and have gleaned , most of the problem arises from hand salts permeating into the wrap and causing the problem. Washing with gentle cleaners were discussed and that doing so , from time to time...

    Does the measle cue ball cause more skids

    About the time I bought my first cylinder of Toam Chalk, I had bought 2 cue balls. One the black Aramith Tourney Ball and one Blue Circle to match my centennial set. With Masters chalk the Blue Circle would need lots of attention to remove chalk marks while the Black Aramith would need the ball...

    Taom Chalk

    First cylinder of V10, I purchased was in Jan of 22. Now on my second cylinder and about half way through it in June of 23. I play at least 1 hour or more a day. Still find this the best chalk for use on a home table, it's every bit as good as Masters and I like them both, but you will never see...
