    valley table rails? anyone tried these?

    I installed the Artemis Intercontinental No. 66 (K55 profile) rails on my 9' Gold Crown 1 with blue Simonis 860 (4 1/4" corners and 4 1/2" side pockets). They are the same rails as a Diamond Pro Am. Everyone says it is the best playing table in Florida now.

    David Paul Kersenbrock - (Chicago) Changed cues and cue making forever. Southwest Cues (Las Vegas) - A 7+ tear waiting list speaks for itself. Jerry passed on his vast knowledge and skill to Laurie. She has kept the standard of Southwest at the Top of all cues in performance. Ricard Black -...

    Who is your top 5 cue makers?

    I can tell that most of you have never even owned prob more than half the cues that you list. I have owned so many cues since I started collecting high end cues in 1978 that I could never even guess the count (1,000+) and still have an amazing collection worth somewhere in the lower 6 figure...

    Who Really is the BEST Pool Hustler in the Country?

    The internet all but killed the "road players" and 90% of any big money games are prearranged now via the internet. Every pool room you hit now someone is on google trying to find out who you are. So the person that can keep a low profile and his picture off the internet has the best odds. :(

    Brunswick Gold Crown III for sale

    Has the table always been a home installed table? Or is it out of some closed room? I am just wondering how many times it has been recovered since new. I will be up that way on vacation dropping something off and will be pulling a trailer. So I may be interested in going out of my way to...

    DPK or Kersenbrock?

    I would say it's a DPK. A true Kersenbrock is hard to find. I have a couple South West cues (before they put a # on the pin) that were made by Jerry Franklin and David Kersenbrock but they are still SW cues. I do own a real Kersenbrock that was made by David alone in 1986 and it will never be...

    Nicest Cuemakers

    Chris Nitti - A true perfectionist and gentleman in every way. David Kersenbrock - A human encyclopedia of cue making and someone that you can spend the day with and never get bored. He is the father of modern cue making and materials. Laurie Franklin - A true Lady that welcomes you in to her...

    Stolen Cues

    Any cue maker that is not putting an ID chip in their cues now is crazy. I got a bunch of chips from my Vet for around $5 each when I took my dog for his shots. Easy to install under butt cap with a small drill bit and does not change the balance (or have your maker install one). It takes the...

    Nice cue! Looks to be re-wrapped. All of mine from that time period have wrap as fine as silk.

    Cue makers known for their ivory jointed cues

    My Ivory jewel Nitti with the 3/8" x 10 surgical steel has never came loose and still nut tight after 5 years. Nitti still builds each cue by hand w/o any CNC crap and all of the over 100 Ivory inlays, joint, butt cap, ferrules are all as perfect as the day I picked it up. God Bless

    The No Children policy at the US Open

    No Dogs & No Drunks I could understand. Children are the future of our sport and banning them is pure stupidity! If we want our sport to grow is it going to begin with the younger generation (remember the "Color of Money" boom that we had?). They should be encouraged and be a very welcome part...

    Thanks to Jack we have art in case form!!

    That is a great looking case! But you should have just got a picture and had it framed if you are not going to use it. But what do I know............people tell me I'm crazy because I play with pretty highend ($10K+) cues that they believe should be put on display somewhere. You only live once...

    US Open: Behrman's vile anti-Semitic comments

    I figured someone would say something as soon as I heard him make the comments. (In jest) Undoubtably he is a jew if he thinks he can get $2.75 mil for a billiard business and doesn't even own the building.................. he would need a mask and gun to pull that off. :)
