I have a BallStar machine and I usually just give the balls a light spray of plain water. I only use Aramith Ball Cleaner every 4th or 5th time I clean. I think that if you wax the balls, some wax will eventually wind up on the table cloth - that's not what you want. Do you really want those...

No, no, no - no recast, no update, no touch. This is a classic which was perfectly cast. You can't do any better folks. Some things are best left untouched.

Boy, I couldn't agree more. Anyone but Tom Cruise. He really made Vincent look like a clown instead of a serious pool player. Story line could be greatly improved by making it truer to life. Everyone praises Sorcese as a great director but he always has his actors and the scrips ham it up...

I usually watch Earl Strickland, Francisco Bustamante or Efren Reyes matches whenever I get on youtube. I'd like to expand my viewing. I'd appreciate input on what your favorite match is on youtube. Perhaps you might select best 8 ball match, best 9 ball match, etc. Any input would be...

I don't have any pool books but I do wish you well and hope you have a speedy recovery. Pete

I play with a Schon CX-06 and a McDermott I-3 shaft. I prefer small tip diameters and the I-3, with a 11.75 tip diameter, allows me to hit the cue ball with geometric precision. The CX-06 and I-3 form a perfect combination which together yields a cue with perfect balance and hit. Those...

My only experience with McDermott is with their Maintenance Program for the I-series shafts. I have several and when the tips get down I send them to Jayme who manages their shop. They come back clean with brand new Moori tips on them for around $21.00 which covers shipping and handling. They...

Hey, when I was in the Navy many years ago, I met two girls in a bar in San Diego. Just for fun we started to play some 8 ball on a bar box. They took turns beating me. Within an hour I was flat broke. Those two cuties took me for all the dough I had except for bus fare back to the base...

Posts such as actions by AceDonkeyAce, Scott Lee, SluggerKnuckles, and Duanet85 are really uplifting and a real pleasure to read. Good deeds always have their own rewards. Bravo, gentlemen.

Are you referring to those sold by Harbor Freight for $14.99 or $19.99? If so, where would you recommend buying some?

Make that a double Wow. I have not seen him play before and after seeing that break - he's amazing. And double thanks for the link. You get a greenie.

Ditto for Donny of SD Billiards. He did 2 Nine-Foot Gandy's in our Community Center, my son's 9 foot Connelly, and my Global 7 foot bar table. He replaced the rubber on the Gandy's and recovered in Simonis 860 about 3 years ago and they still play great. On my Global, he installed new...

Sounds like a pretty big undertaking. A lot would depend on your carpentry skills and your access to woodworking equipment. Good luck to you whatever you decide.

You've proved that need is the mother of invention and that there's more than one way to skin a cat. Nicely done with imagination and elan. Bravo...

I have a Schon, McDermott, and a Dale Perry. The oldest is 10 years old and the newest is 5 years old. None have warped. I've lived in Tucson for 20 years and moved to California (High Desert country) for the past 5 years. Perhaps I've experienced no warping because of the low humidity. As...

I'm hesitant on cork. Could you please detail some information on care of cork wraps including how to keep one clean and looking new. Love the look of your cues. Good luck in your sale.

Very nice ball polisher at a great price. I was lucky enough to buy a used BallStar I found on CraigsList about a year ago. Before that I was using a home made ball polisher built in a 5 gallon bucket. The professional ball polishers, like yours and mine, do a fantastic job in just a few...

I-3 with Moori Soft. 11.75mm for geometric precision in striking the cue ball. Excellent control. Coupled with Schon CX-06 for perfect balance and feel.

Of all the methods mentioned, I like using a damp cloth with a clothes iron. It's fast and if it doesn't work on the first try, then it's so simple to try it again. Sounds like you've really bonded with your son over the pool table. My son is now 47 and we still shoot some eight ball every...
