I've never purchased a new GC. I do, however, remember reading in these forums that when buying one from a dealer, one should never pay the M.S.R.P. The dealer expects to be talked down substantially...at least that's what I read.

I, for one, don't have a clue. I've never taken a shot with an LD shafted cue.

I use T.O.I on 90% of my shots. I really found no flaws in the way C.J Wiley taught in in his video and his writings in these forums. His video is targeted mostly to beginners in T.O.I. He teaches going center - center and center - edge and moviing as much as a tip inside of verticle center. In...

Could you clarify what you mean when you refer to " Compensating for sidespin." Do you in fact, mean that you are compensating for deflection....which is the side - effect of cue ball spin?

So you don't think Florian and nine - ball players are using the same skill - set? ......I couldn't disagree more....at least as a practitioner of T.O.I. My recognition of the similarity of the skill sets required of both, was the impetus for my opening post. Both Florian type shots and T.O.I...

As I posted earlier, I read somewhere that he wasn't much of a conventional shot - maker. I found this diificult to understand. Now some posters are stating that he is, in fact, a very fine shot - maker. Having watched his videos some more, it simply defies common sense to think otherwise. His...

The wing shots were nice. It's no way a display of skill on a par with what Florian does though. The shot after the wing shots was a trick shot....not an unimpressive trick shot; but, a trick shot and not a skill shot. In an earlier post you stated that you know trick shot players who don't...

I really don't have a clue as to ,the answer to this question...so I'll ask others what they think: If today's world class nine - ball players were to stop playing nine - ball and turn their attention exclusively to the kind of stuff Florian does, would they attain the same level of skill he...

It ain't an instant fix! .....Oh yeah though....after much time and effort....a fix settles in....at least in my case!

"Most people who use spin a lot will usually argue with you all day about how T.O.I won't work"?.Huh? I'm not following. In his video Wiley teaches beginners to T.O.I to go either center to center or center to edge. It's necessary to sometimes go a full tip inside the vertical center doing...

When I first read your post, I assumed you saw C.J trying to teach Florian T.O.I, and you later learned Florian couldn't get a handle on it. Is that what you meant?

Wow! That's difficult to understand. C.J. Wiley has mentioned though, that only about 30 % of his students pick it up. Hey.... if Florian just keeps doing what he's doing now and nothing else he's still standing on a high pedestal in the billiard world in my opinion. He's amazing!

Ugh....some of us find that using a touch of inside on most shots is a highly effective way of pocketing balls.

I just finished watching a few of the guy's videos on YOU TUBE. I must have matured since the last time I watched those same videos. This time I concentrated on watching the shots and not the models. This, in turn, led me to a new appreciation of his ASTOUNDING skill! I recall reading that he's...

I've played with an Elkmaster straight out of the bag and also an Elkmaster put through the "Milkdud" process by a guy who really knows his stuff. I HATED BOTH TIPS! I'd rather gnaw on my....(nevermind!) than put another one of either of these tips on my cue. Helll....I'd quit the game if all I...

I bought ten 13mm Triangles several months ago. I just randomly picked one up and installed it. I'm quite happy with it. Maybe I got lucky with the one I picked. So what am I suposed to be looking for when picking between the ten?....or maybe....what is a "Red flag" for inferior quality. If I...

Jerimy, I've name dropped you several times in this forum. I hope you don't mind. My dad died a few moths ago. My siblings and I sold the house. Circumstances are such that I couldn't bring the table to my new place. I sold it to AZ member "Jazzboxblues." Anyhow; I LOVED HOW THAT TABLE PLAYED...

For a little over 3 years I played on a GCIV that had sub - rails extended by Jerimy Chambers. I asked him to Diamondize it. He said he knew how to do that. I joined AZ 4 years ago. Early on I wasn't a big fan of RKC. It wasn't because I thought I was a know - it - all. It was more naïveté on my...

That's interesting...I guess only Jerimy knows how thick the facings are....Hey...I learned a few years ago not to pretend I knew anything about pool tables when talking to you, so I might be all wrong about this; but, one of the first things I noticed when I first started playing on that table...

Jazzboxblues bought that table from me. On 5/25 he started a thread, " Want to buy a Gold Crown and trick it out. What to do?" In his posts he mentioned he lived in a house in Chicagoland which didn't have room for a table. He was about to move into a house that did have room and he was looking...
