Glen's back!...which means I'm back to learning about tables. Sweet. Good for me, my customers, and AZ.

I've always liked the Rebcos that I have played on. What happened to the 9 footers that were in Sharp's Billiards there in Kenai? Last time we were there, it had been closed for quite awhile and I think the equipment was still inside.

That sounds like a sweet cue. I'm not sure exactly how it works or when that one was reserved. I'd get ebony for sure if you can. I'm designing one currently (2003) and the sheet says both kinds of ebony are unavailable. Maybe that'll change by the time Coco gets to the top of the list. Maybe...

Actually, they don't. Surprisingly, a solid nose and a 6 point without veneers is the same. It does cost extra for each veneer. If it helps you figure your time frame, the cue I got 2 weeks ago was a December of 2002 order, so you might not be as close as you think. Mine is Alves with tulip...

That's probably one of the 3 pieces of 8ft 1 inch slate. They weigh around that or a bit less.

With good reason, haha. Simonis isn't true and playable on both sides. It would still be green, I guess, but it would definitely be "funny". Tour edition actually is, fwiw, and we used to save the ones we took off and use them to cover the Boys and Girls club tables or sell them cheap to people...

We have to do it once it a while. I bought 4 metal car dollies from harbor freight. Slowly lift each end and put one under each foot. One person can move 9 footers pretty easily.

My experience has been that the regular 860 is fine for home tables, but not durable enough for pool rooms. We've used Granito Basalt, which is more durable but a bit slower than 860. The tour edition is probably still the most durable, but the 860hr is pretty close. The tour edition also seemed...

Funny you should post this. When Justin was named to the Mosconi Cup, I remarked in the pool room, "that's great! Justin is a nice guy and a great young player. I just hope Mark takes him clothes shopping before the Cup". The bar table tournament in Reno was being held alongside the US Open One...

Credit/Debit How about for credit card processing? I have had PHM for a few months and like it a lot. I was thinking about setting up the card processing feature, but I haven't switched yet. Just curious if most people use it and what you think. Thanks.

See? Always fun.

Always a fun game. I would have said it's a II because of the corner castings 'open' design and the name plate, which doesn't have the plastic covered design of the 1s I've had, with pockets and rail bolt washers that aren't original. Perhaps even a III because of the screws that hold the...

I'd agree with most of this. I guess I'd stop short of calling them a 'higher quality individual'. I've never believed that wide appeal of the general masses was necessary for this sport to be a success. I'd rather have a smaller number of dedicated lovers of the game, with new ones coming along...

Interesting. It looks pretty much the way I would have expected it to. Makes me wonder about other activities-bowling for example-that don't involve a computer screen. I'd bet they would fare similar to pool. If you put in 'cell phone', or 'twitter', or 'facebook' your computer might catch on fire.

I drew Corey first round in the one pocket, and I'd agree with this.

Congratulations, and good luck with your room! Does the pool pass allow unlimited play? Just curious. Our prices are $4.00/hr for 1 player, and $8.00per hour for any more than 1 player. We also have other specials including a lunch time deal, a happy hour everyday (4pm-6pm), and 2 monthly...

So long and good luck to Justin and the TAR crew. I've never bought a match myself, but have gotten the chance to see a bunch of stuff filmed by them. I guess that makes me part of the problem. Though there are leagues that are doing well, it seems to me that it's extremely hard to make a living...

If it was a really old one it, there is a good chance it was 'The Operator' from micrologicsoftware.com. There are several other companies-Dolphin is another one-, but they sold lots of operator systems. They are selling the Operator II systems now, even though the website says Operator III...

You can start one anywhere. We're in our 9th year of the 14.1 league and we cut it off at 26 players of all skill levels and ages. Arguing over what the best pool game is as stupid as arguing over what the best kind of ice cream is. Different people like different things. I like one pocket...
