    Moving a Brunswick Liberty Nine Footer

    Liberty Thanks, Hammy. Well, for a good lookin' ol' gal, she's pretty strong. We built a couple of houses together, and she can hold up her end of the chore pretty well. We have a good two wheel dolly and I think I can maybe I can add a plywood fixture to that, and lash the slate to the...

    Moving a Brunswick Liberty Nine Footer

    Liberty Thanks, RKC. I wish the news had been better, but an honest opinion from you is what I was looking for. Even though the asking price was only $250.00, by the time I factored in all the real costs, I would have about 1k in it before it was even set up again at my place. So, I'll pass...

    Moving a Brunswick Liberty Nine Footer

    Gentlemen, I am thinking of buying an antique table that we think is a Liberty. It is five hundred miles from my place, so I have a few logistics problems to work out. One is the weight issue....the decision is whether to go in my full size Dodge pickup or attach an enclosed twelve foot...

I'm not quite ready to buy, 'cause the room isn't ready, but I still enjoy looking. Anyway....they are practically giving away good used tables in the DFW metroplex. (at least on...

    Compatible thread patterns?

    An Az'er has a butt for sale with a 5/16x14 piloted joint. My Joss shafts are described as 5/16x14. Is there a difference, and will Joss shafts fit on a piloted joint? Thanks for any info. Joe

    How to stop choking?

    Wow.....I can certainly relate to choking on the game ball. I have to fight that battle regularly. One thing I like to do during practice is just shoot with the cue ball and the nine ball. Shoot that nine over and over, and then shoot it some more..... each and every practice session. Seeing...

    anybody else use this system?

    Very good topic. I studied that info and other similar diamond systems about two months ago. At the time, was looking to seriously improve my kicks and banks. I drew their diagrams off on graph paper and went down to the pool hall. On nine foot tables, the systems played just right. I...

    Cue storage

    Wood is strongest, or able to accept the greatest load without noticeable distortion, along the long axis of the grain. Conversely, wood will flex or distort most easily when force is applied perpendicular to the long axis of the grain. Cue shafts are cut along the long axis of the grain...

    Help in Identifying Joss

    Joss Thanks, srober40. Could you tell me how you did that? I have spent many hours doing searches on the net as well as Mr. Janes's cue archives with no success. Incidentally, the Joss archives do not have a section for 1997 cues yet. And again. thank you. Joe

    Help in Identifying Joss

    My wife got me this cue for Christmas in 1998. I have contacted Dan Janes, and he remembers the cue, and said that there were very few of them made. He also said he did not know if the cue even had a model number. Do any of you recognize this cue? I think it was made in 1997. I would really...
