Mav - If you're still in town and want to hit some balls, you're welcome to join me at my house. I'm up in Marysville, which is on I-5 just north of Everett by 6 miles or so. My wife is out of town and I could use somebody to hit balls with. I've got a 9-foot Diamond Pro Am with 860 Simonis...

What do the Diamond Ball Polishers cost these days? I'm thinking the smaller of the two. I couldn't find a price on Diamond's website.

According to an online inflation rate calculator, $0.30 in 1907 is worth $7.32 now, less than I would have thought. I started playing in a pool hall about 1965 and $0.60/hr is what I recall... that was in the western suburbs of Chicago.

Stopped playing back around 1976 and started back in 1996, so 20 years for me.

No way that's Sorvino. According to google.com, Sorvino is 74. That dude doesn't look a day over 60. That's not Sorvino. Look and compare...

Thanks a lot, brother. Glen will be modifying mine in about 4-6 weeks.

With both eyes open, point your index finger at a distant object. Now close one eye. If your finger is still pointing at the distant object, that is your dominant eye. If instead, your finger is way off to the side of the distant object, then that eye is not your dominant eye.

It happened when my cloth was brand new. It happens now that my cloth is 5 years old. I don't believe that it's happening at the pocket facing. I believe that it's happening at the long rail cushion's nose... the cushions are "boingy", if that's even a word. The object ball rebounds at a...

Yes, but only if the GC rails have been re-worked to play like a Diamond. :thumbup:

AL - Why do you say approximately 4 1/2" corner pockets? Were they not Diamond's standard Pro Cut pockets? If so, they're 4 1/2".

JC - I watched the Efren/Shane 10-ball match last night on TAR's PPV and I can tell you with certainty that the 3 degree angle difference on the nose (the TAR table has the modified rails is what I was told) makes a bid difference when playing the corner pockets and with the object ball near...

I like 'em. The way I look at it, it's another pool skill to hone.

Back on topic... store it in a vacuum or in a cryogenic container for the optimum long term best results.

Have you not heard of STDs??? :eek: ;)

cocaine!!!

I agree, great album... especially on a Bose SoundLink at near full volume. :grin: Don't have the scotch but I have a full Wine Closet of some fine reds. Planning on corking one really soon. Take care, brother.

For the additional $3, go big.:wink:

Great. Thanks for the quick responses. BTW, smoking a great 7 y/o cigar in my garage while hitting balls on my Diamond Pro Am and listening to Eric Clapton and BB King singing Riding with the King. Life is good. :thumbup:
