When I lived and played in Japan (19 years), I don't think I noticed more of one or the other. There were carpeted places as well as hard floor places and I'm pretty sure it was random. dave

Plenty of action at Mile High too especially if you're into Daimond boxes. 4 Diamond biggies too where you might get some action, but they play stupid tight so results are often like flipping a coin. Whoever is at the table when the 9 comes up with a reasonable shot usually wins. Don't see many...

My first cue back in the 90s was a Falcon with a Predator and it was a great player. Back then, I believe Falcon was making the butts for Predator. Don't know who makes either now, but back then they were a great match. Dave

In the 90's I was working for a billiards and darts supply in Japan. I actually worked a deal with Mike where we were a dealer for his custom cues. Our forst order was a batch of five for 10K. Based on what I've seen, what I know about his cues, and his customer service................I would...

Ha ha......anytime somebody posts a question here, people just assume they're a dumbass and all the great teachers come crawling out of the woodwork with information NOT for the purpose of informing, but for the sole purpose of justifying ones sense of worth and knowledge. Dave

Lost my 2nd wife because I spent too much time playing pool. Best thing that could have happened to me. Just celebrated my 10 year anniversary with my 3rd wife. I still play a little pool, I can't run out for shit...........and I like it! Dave

I guess I'm in the minority here with liking open after break. I always thought take what you make was banger ball. "Wow, you made two stripes so you're already winning by two balls!") mentality. I guess I feel there should be a reward or advantage for a good break, and take what you make can...

That cue is beautiful!

I'm the other player in this equation. Measureman and I have met for three sessions playing together, as well as myself practicing alone for several sessions, and we both agree the skids have happened with enough frequency to affect play. When slow rolling in 14:1 games, the skids happen much...

The thing that strikes me as odd, and should strike anybody else as odd, is who in the hell would pay that much for a Huebler today, or in 1984? Pretty sure that in '84, $2,500 got you some very serious wood made by some pretty big hitters, and I may be wrong, but I have never considered a...

Take two players who've only every played one size table. A 9ft player and a bar table player. The bar table player NEVER beats the 9ft player on a 9 footer. The 9ft player SOMETIMES beats the bar table player on the bar table. It's the difference between NEVER and SOMETIMES. NFL vs Arena...

If you're looking to simply change the hit and feel of your cue, the effect different tips have has always been an under estimated factor in my opinion. Try experimenting with different tips and hardness. Dave

Starting around 2005, and right up til 2008 when I left Japan they were using little plastic punch outs for the rack. They would take a hole puncher, and make several plastic dots with adhesive on one side. Then carefully place each dot where a ball should be in the rack. This seemed to...

Edwin Bata Reyes? You need to get your names straight. Free bump anyway. Dave

I found the big table to be frustrating at first when I was warming up, but after acclimating I found the tables to play honest. Because of my work schedule, it was my first time on any big table in quite a while. Ended up catching a gear as the night wore on and enjoyed the hell out of it! Spin...

The only downside of this room would possibly be for out of town people as it's way on the other side of the greater Denver area from the airport. For me it's close. About the same distance as Hanks, and sad to say, Hanks loses here when it comes to cleanliness, atmosphere, clientele, equipment...

I was there Thursday night and just got back from there a few minutes ago. Love the place, and it will be my new home. Today sucked though. I had the big table in the corner, and couldn't keep spectators out of my way. If I have to ask somebody to move so I can play on the table I'm paying for...

I was over in the corner playin with Greg and another. Would liked to have met. I will try to stop by tomorrow. Dave

I was at Mile High last night, and I have to say...........this place is sharp! I only wish there were more big tables (only four). Greg has really gone all in and has put his best foot forward with this. Beautiful place! Dave

You remembered! How many years ago was that? Talked lots of Montrose, Gunnison, Grand Junction. I'm in the Denver area now thank God! Dave
