I'm convinced the thing that would convert players to alternatives to Masters and other old standbys is to see what it looks like underneath the cloth when a table is recovered. I play in a pool room that wipes the cloth rather often, but rarely vacuums the cloth. I was present the last time...

The color of Taom V10 doesn't matter at all. You'll never see any chalk anywhere but on the cue tip.

My stroke always improves when I concentrate on not dropping the elbow, but it's never been natural. Seems like a lot of good advice in your video. It reminded me of a training approach invented by Tom Simpson years ago and still available. Here's a link that explains his method. Can you...

When did these rules become "standard"? Is it true that the rules changed to accomodate TV coverage or were there other reasons?

I've toured the Diamond factory and seen how they prepare tables for shipment. I've been to DCC where they have about 35-40 Diamond tables set up for the tournament. It's really slick how they are able to set up their one piece slate tables quickly for tournaments and then take them down again...

I agree that the "riser" seats are fine, but they have been a little more in demand in recent years. It's good to be about 10 to 15 minutes early for a match and to choose a seat that has not been reserved. Those have someone's name on the back of the chair. Also note that daily ticket prices...

I'm pretty sure that it just looks like a single bulb because of the angle from which the picture is taken. But, of course, it still sucks big time.

True of the pre-2000 models, but they can't be transported and setup for tournaments like Diamonds can.

I saw SVB do it without a call. Like you said, it is obvious, but easy enough to claim otherwise.

I don't understand. What does this mean?

I think natural talent exists because of my experience at seeing the opposite of natural talent. I never realized how difficult pool could be until I saw my daughter pick up a cue and try her hand at it. She had zero natural talent, so it stands to reason that some others must have it or there...

His version is more impressive than those that I've seen before since he does multiple shots without seeming to place either the CB or the OB in preset locations. The shots seem to be much more random.

How can you play for that much dough and not have it "up on the light" before you start?

What kind of velcro adheres to the plastic pockets and where exactly do you put the velcro?

The only ones I've ever seen are nailed in. Surely they weren't sold that way when new...

There are several pool rooms in my area with these Gandy tables, but I've never seen any where they don't use nails to secure the plastic pockets. Is it possible to do it another way? Is that how the pockets were attached when the tables were new?

That's pretty hard to believe. Sounds like local rules. Really local!

I ordered one of these and I recommend that you try it for bridging over several balls. Generic bridge head at Amazon. Here's what it's got going for it: It's tall. Raises the cue shaft significantly higher than my just-a-bridge. It's stable. The rubber grommet is stiff enough to hold your...
