Life is all about perspective -- I Know a gent that has time to read 2 or 3 books a week ,works out , in good health , has requests for sex all the time , eats right every day , but just can't stand prison .

Spot in the small city I've lived in for the last 40 years Martinsville Va has a bowling alley that was set up by Brunswick. The place was built and finished in 61 and with nice lanes and 5 of the GC 1's. Gent that owned it with a partner died early in life a few years back and his partner took...

Not my pictures, so I haven't a clue about those pockets. I do know when I installed new super speed rails on my table and reset the facings a bit, it cured a bit of the problem of balls entering the pocket area and jawing up, but it was not completely cured , but enough for me. With HR 860...

From the factory the pockets were 5 inches. The way the pocket facings were from the factory , if the ball didn't enter in the right way , the ball would jaw and sit there in the pocket, even with the pockets that wide. Have seen many Centennial 's and Anniversary tables that were that way over...

Gonna have to get that pic to a friend of mine to enlarge and frame,,it's going to look great in the man cave next to my Cent in the middle of the room. Favorite tables of all times are the anniversary and centennial's .

I remember when young reading somewhere that Mosconi stating that it took him 3 months to get used to a new cue. Don't know if that was factual or not, he could beat anyone with what ever he held but I have remembered that for over 50 years. Don't see where a new shaft on a cue would be any...

Do a remake of the Color Of Money and follow the book instead of some Hollywood writer

The wooden pads or feet can be obtained at the following website. If you replace one, probably need to replace all to make sure the same foot height is kept for all four corners of the table...

That's one nice table they are playing on. Someone worked over that table to make it play as well as it looks.

My table has the stretchers which I take it is later than yours. My table is extremely stabil . This throws me a bit because I thought the long rails being one piece instead of 2 pieces were the earliest of this model. On the Nylon Flat Head Screws for pocket installation , they are 10-24...

On subject about the pockets for these tables, I ordered normal drop pockets from Classic Billiards . There are no provisions for the screw holes to be used in fixing them to the table, so I drilled the holes so that I could use them that way. I had a bad time when using tacks to install the...

Great find , these tables are of the best ever built IMO. Take your time and build it up again, They are works of ART. I suggest that you have someone rebuild the rails with new rubber . All these tables bank real short for some reason and bank like gold crowns when the rails are replaced. Look...

Going from 10 foot table to 9 X 4 1/2 hindered the the greats that came up playing on the larger tables. Sorta like Mr Lassiter was hindered when they went from playing 2 shot foul 9 ball and brought about 1 shot foul. Want to make pool fans sit up and notice? Bring back 2 shot foul and have...

After looking back through that vid about five times,,Cory didn't touch the ball with his cue, no where near it. As for wacking the table with his cue, all I saw, when he had seen the cue ball take a drink he lowered the end of his cue and the tip made contact with the table. I guess Baseball...

I was pulling for Duel in that match, and he won, but the refs action might have been the straw breaking the camels back helping him along. Yes Appleton got back too the table and missed a key break shot, but too have a completely open table taken away at a key moment of the game , was more...

Sat down this afternoon about 12:30 too watch the Duel and Appleton match. at 2:40 it was over. Won't get into who won and all but too say I saw the craziest call by a ref I had ever seen in all my years. Duel was with in moping up the match the rack had just been broken and there was a dead...

I tried using the Toams over a layer of Masters for awhile when I first bought the stuff. I found later that compleatly removing the Masters chalk with my Willards tool and then using the Toams worked best. When I'm through playing for the day a quick wipe off with a paper towel and back in the...

Something learned back in my 20's was to make sure the tip and the top of the ferrule was absolutely flat before gluing down a tip. If I could lay the tip down on the ferrule and while holding the tip down while raising the ferrule and tip up to some light, if there was any part of light showing...

For over 10 years I have used the Gorilla Super Glue Gel , since finding that they use Chlorinated Rubber in the mixture of the super glue. That one thing got me over to it. I have too cut my tips off after they wear out. Have installed many tips for friends over the years and never had one...
