Pivots Okay, thanks. I'll practice all the shots on the grid. jfe

Pivots Champ, I have only watched the manual pivot half of the DVD. As I am already using pivot systems, I wanted to be very comfortable with Stan's manual pivot before moving to Pro One. Somehow, I had it fixed in my mind that cuts to the right only use a right pivot, and cuts to the left...

In Stan's video, Landon is shooting cuts to the right at elapsed time 22:35 and 22:54. In the first cut, from position 23/15, he calls for a manual RIGHT pivot. In the second cut to the right, from position 31/23, he calls for a manual LEFT pivot. I'm confused. Both are cuts to the right...

Used DVD Hi, Dr. I tried to buy a used one a guy advertised here for sale. It was ten bucks cheaper than new price. He backed out, so I bought one directly from Stan off his website. I think it's JustCueIt.com or something very similar. The total cost, shipped to me, was $47.70 and it...

I Beat JB!!! Hi, JB. Gotcha on that one! Regarding picking it up strictly off the disk, I already have a few months experience with pivot systems. I started using Hal Houle's Half Ball Pivot about three months ago. About a month prior to that, I was experimenting with a pivot system I...

Aiming DVD Metmot, I'll take it. PM sent to you. Thanks. jfe

Source for Simonis Videos If you want a set, call Simonis. I also saw that Seybert's had them. Even if you never intend to do a recover yourself, you will be familiar with the process. Then, you'll know what to look for when you hire the job out. And, if you aren't satisfied with the job...

Pockets woody, Not long ago I saw SDBilliards, who posts on this site, had some new Brunswick pockets. Try him at www.SDBilliards.net/ For Brunswick style replacement pockets, try SDB on the west coast or Classic Billiards (google search for his website)on the east coast. Classic Billiards...

How to Fix Stretch Shadows Very simple fix. Just invest in the Simonis Cloth Installation Training Video. The stretch shadow and cushion dimple phenomenon is discussed and the way to avoid same is very clearly explained and demonstrated. Mr. Vondrell is correct. The rail staples must be...

Photograph of Rail Casting Dogs, Thanks for the good GC IV as compared to III casting photos. That is what I was looking for. jfe :thumbup:

Photos That's it ...just curiosity. I've never seen a GC IV. (there aren't many in North Texas where I'm from) I'm pretty familiar with I's, II's, and III's. I heard the castings are different, and that the pockets fit flush with the casting. Also heard that the IV's pockets are...

Gciv jrobin9, Congratulations to you. Sounds like a pretty good deal. :thumbup:When you get a chance, will you post some photos of the castings as viewed from above with the pockets removed? Thanks. jfred

GC IV Repairs jrobin9, Actually, photos aren't necessary in this case. For dings and scratches in the formica rail caps, there is no suitable repair. Plastic laminate replacement is possible, but as 9-Ball B says, it is risky. If you do decide to replace the plastic, give the job to a...

Gold Crown Lookalike CT, On 11-26-2008, "kugelrund" posted a thread here seeking info on replacement pockets for a Born Winner table. SDBilliards responded and said he knew where some replacement parts were. A Google search showed that kugelrund (Billiards) is an upscale pool room in...

Storing Pool Table in a Garage DGHustles, Storing furniture or cabinetry in a typical garage is risky. Although your garage is probably dry most of the time, there are a number of events that can cause it to get wet. For starters, many water heaters are either in the garage, or in a closet...

Harbor Freight Staplers, 1/2 inch crowns Ordinarily, I don't buy any cheap tools. However, on advice from this forum, I bought three 1/2 inch crown 20 gauge air staplers from Harbor Freight. So far, they have driven all staples to the proper depth, and never fail to shoot. The only...

Bondo and slate seams ykndoit, I'm relatively new to the use of bondo. I have installed some slates with it, but never disassembled one. However, unless advised otherwise, I would use a heavy duty razor knife and a straight edge to score the bondo in the seam. Also, I have a Rotozip with an...

Things to Look Out For ykndoit, Beware of slate pins. The slates may be indexed together with metal pins about 3/8 inch long. Lifting the end slates before sliding them apart enough to clear the pins can break a huge chip out of the tops of the slates.:angry: My apology if you already knew...

Pedestal Repair Runnintable, The pedestal radius can be repaired pretty easily, especially since it is a paint finish. There are three or four different ways to do it....some simpler than others. If you have the opportunity, take the pedestal to a local cabinet shop (one that actually builds...
