    About Diamond system geometry

    My memory is pretty shot, but I think I still have some kind of some possible timelines. The first indoor tables were made of wood and some had parquet beds on them, around 1600 . I am not sure if they used it right away but the rails were at one point made up of sail cloth strips .{I f I am...

    Old vs. New

I used a regular cue to break them and after that every shot was made with the yardstick, It might not happen again in a hundred years , but it worked that one and only time I...

    Is Might get me Kickoff or Ban from AZBilliards... But I question Bob Jewett Post about value of books????

    He buys and sells books ........ He valued them at 200 , probably because that is what he will pay and he sells them for 300 or 350. seems pretty simple to me. If you don't make a profit, you won't be in business long. If you had some of them , what would you ask for them?

    Old vs. New

    I love the old stuff too. I used to play with a guy that played every day with Hubert Cokes old Balabushka. He was the only one I ever saw playing regularly with a rare old cue. I am sure there are a few eccentrics out there but not that many.

    US Open 1pocket pathetic turnout....????

    The DCC is a unique event. That Louisville area is full of die hard pool players who are not wealthy but it gives them a chance to rub elbows with the great players, spend time with friends and not spend a fortune traveling. There are 7 million people in the Phoenix area I believe. I think they...

    US Open 1pocket pathetic turnout....????

    I think the DCC concept would work at least another time a year in another part of the country.AZ seems good the problem with Vegas is you are trapped there Thats one of the reasons why it was such a brilliant idea.

    I like your style, I have a lot of overpriced stuff if you still have any money left. A package deal would be awesome, Justr send what you want to spend and I will send you stuff until we are even, if you liked that deal, we can do it again, until you run out of money ,or I run out of junk...

    Any tips to remove this Brunswick bumper?

    You might try one of those pads they put in the microwave for a heating pad. you could wrap the whole cap at once and start using more and more time and pressure to try to separate the glue. Don't forget to use a thick glove,

    Your thoughts on outrageous cue prices

    I think a lot of positive things are happening for our economy, but, the last 4 years we went crazy spending money we didn't have and that is going to be difficult to overcome in the short term, if we ever do it. I think what happened in 2008 is going to happen again soon and almost all the...
