Based on my new understanding as of today, and my apparently "stock" 1962 Gold Crown I, I think that if two balls don't ass, it must have been modified. But, I've been wrong before. Try putting two balls together and pushing them straight towards center pocket together. They should drop off...

Greetings, still a new pool player, despite my advanced years. I just received my first break/jump cue and I don't know where to start. I got the Lucasi L-2000JB Break Jump Cue. (I ordered it from billiards.com; was $266 on Jan 10th when I ordered it, now it's up to $329, so I guess I lucked...

Hold the presses! I was mistaken. I just went into the next room to the table to make some measurements, and I found that I can slide two balls into a pocket, side by side, on ever pocket. The balls drop off the shelf before encountering the narrowest part of the cushions. @cueman you are...

That is not my understanding; I guess you'd have to define "most." I have what I believe is a "stock" Gold Crown I, circa 1962. The throat measurement is 4.22" on average. If you look at the other two GC I's listed in the TDF thread, you'll see throats of 4.00" and 4.125". So, none of them...

I recommend consulting with Geoff Bradshaw on this. In another thread he describes how to address the issue fo a cushion that's been cut improperly by adding some durometer 50A rubber to it and then sanding to the correct profile which matches the wood. If they are original GC I cushions they...

Agreed, but SCOTUS has made some pretty bad decisions before, like Plessy v. Ferguson, and more recently Kelo. Hope springs eternal! (I haven't yet read the material you provided, but thank you!)

That's why we have courts and lawyers, and why we have appeals, and why even precedent is overturned. I consider the constitution to be cast in stone, but not the decisions of courts, and much less the opinions of individual lawyers (not referring to you specifically).

Greetings mechanics, I've never recovered a table before, but I'm quite mechanically inclined, and I've seen it done. :) I prefer the glue method to staples for the bed. Is it wise for an amateur to proceed this way? What's the best available set of instructions for recovering? Thanks, jv...

Cross posting from another thread: New Cloth Suggestions - reply #33 Holy Cow! I ordered the CPBA Competition cloth for a 9' table, tournament blue, with no writing on the rail pieces. I ordered it from billiardsupermarket.com CPBA Pool cloth for 9ft tables (Competition), in China, for $120...

Holy Cow! I ordered the CPBA Competition cloth for a 9' table, tournament blue, with no writing on the rail pieces. I ordered it from billiardsupermarket.com CPBA Pool cloth for 9ft tables (Competition), in China, for $120, plus $6 shipping, on January 4. I just received it! They sent it...

A "taking" in the legal, constitutional sense. If the government deprives you of your property rights to something, including whether you can sell it or use it (including travel with it), it's a taking, in my opinion, and they owe you compensation.

That's really good cloth, the best, in the opinion of many. I have Simonis 860 on mine, too. Mine's gray. Remarkable as it may seem, mine has what I believe is the original rubber, and it performs as good as new. Not only does it seem to play well, I have a digital durometer, and the rubber...

This ivory ban is the result of rabid animal rights activists getting what they want from idiotic and unthinking politicians. It's a "taking" in my opinion, for the govt. to do this. They should at least be required to compensate folks for taking their property rights.

I was commenting that the snooker tables were 10' and 12' because some other fellow said he thought that maybe it was a snooker table because it was missing the ball storage rack. I think yours is a Gold Crown where someone substituted a head rail apron for the foot rail storage box and side...

Gold Crown snooker tables were 10' and 12'.

There's a lot of bad information in this thread, so I would advise that if you have a cue with ivory that you are looking to sell, or are considering purchasing one with ivory, do your research! Interstate is virtually forbidden, unless the cue is over 100 years old and documented, and so...

Those ashtray inserts are as rare as hen's teeth. I bet you could sell them for close to what a table costs!

How do you know? (I'm not trying to be obtuse here, I honestly would like to know.)
