    The Rack in Detroit

    Mr. Balled, just as a side note... I grew up about a mile north of there (The Rack) in Oak Park: 13330 Rosemary, same side of the street and almost the same address just east of coolidge. :) 3 bedrooms, 1 bath for a family of 6 (3 boys in one room, one for the baby sister). :eek: We moved to a...

    posting pictures

    Plus from my experience Imgur doesn't automatically make the picture easy to view in the forum as Photobucket did. You have to shrink the size before using it. Again, thanks for your clear and easy instruction on how to use the forum. Dave

    Sad: Univ of Michigan Pool Hall in the Union Will be No More.

    Nice article, thanks for posting it up. Yes, Carl Conlon and Dieckman were part of the rich history at the Union poolroom. I was lucky enough to know both and played a billiard tourney that Carl ran in the union in the eary to mid 70's. I think I won it and Dieckman finished 2nd, but who can...

    Sad: Univ of Michigan Pool Hall in the Union Will be No More.

    My sister-in-law who lives in Ann Arbor just sent me this article about the University of Michigan's plans of removing the pool hall from the Union building. Almost 100 years of history will be gone from that location, not sure if they will open somewhere else. I have had nice memories of that...

    Tip shaping with the Willard gadget

    Thanks. I will try this next time I change out my tip. About how long did it take for you to fully shape your tip, and what hardness tip do you use? Thanks again for the info. Dave

    SS joint vs ?

    For what it's worth.... For various reasons I sold my Judd cue that I loved. The one condition was that I could keep the one shaft that is/was my favorite so we made the deal. I had a few 3/8-10 pin cues that I tried to "marry" the butt and my Judd shaft but never really found the same feel...

    Ambiguous hit -- how to rule?

    I would call the ticky good. As long as the cueball acted like it hit rail first and didn't follow through the object ball off the rail performing like it got back to the rail, good shot..

    'Hanks" pool room Wheatridge Co. closing

    Yes, I too have heard the rumors that Hanks was closing. I guess it's rumor no more. When I moved to Fort Collins in 2001 I began to play in many of the Thurs night tournaments as it was my favorite of all the weekly tourneys in the greater Denver/Fort Collins area. Tough as nails w/the...
