    Best Way to Clean Simonis?

    I was thinking of using one of those dirt devils, however I worried about the rotating brush hurting the cloth. Do you use the rotating brush or do you remove the belt so the brush doesn't rotate?

    Cue popularity by region

    I just started to venture out from my home table to play in leagues (3 matches in) and I did notice a lot of people seem to have meucci cues around here (NC coastal region). I joked with a player on my first week that there must have been a good sale in the area since almost everyone has one.

    Thinking about Diamond (7ft vs 8ft)

    From what I have seen around where I have lived in my life, unless your playing in a dedicated billiard hall, 90% of the tables are 7ft bar boxes. I honestly don't think I ever seen an 8ft table anywhere other than someone's home.

    Thinking about Diamond (7ft vs 8ft)

    I am a below average player who plays just good enough to beat most bar bangers and my friends that come to my house. My current table at home is an 8ft presidential billiards that I bought over 10 years ago. I did have the cloth replaced about 6 years ago with simonis 860 and the pockets...

    Cue Pealing rubber type coating.

    Thanks! I am assume Viking would be the logical choice to get it repaired? Or is this something an independent repair place would typically handle?

    Cue Pealing rubber type coating.

    Cue Peeling rubber type coating. I have a viking cue from the mid 90's that I have been using ever since. Over the past month or two I have noticed sections of the butt (above the grip) have been peeling off what seems to be some type of clear rubber coating, almost like really thick scotch...

    Wilmington NC Recommendation

    I recently moved to Wilmington NC and I need someone to setup my Presidential billard barclay 8 ft table. The only place I can find locally is some spa company that outsources to some guy that is hard to get a hold of. If anyone has any insight for this area please let me know. Thanks! Jim
