Rob, Glen doesn't use playing cards that I'm aware of. Wedge shims from Home Depot is what he demonstrated in Alsip. I believe Diamond uses 20 plus levels on their tables with the leveling system built in. Thats why Glen was using the directional arrows to simulate the placement of the...

Josh, Very well stated! How about a book, like the building code or the electrical code or the plumbing code, only for the billiards industry? (more like 100 pages than 1000) The problem is that someone or some body of people has to decide whats included and whats excluded. In other words, what...

Good morning John, Could you first produce the standard for the spread sheet (excel), perhaps a link to a template that we could all use. Sort of a standard for the standard.... Are we going to have a board of review? How do we arrive at a consensus of which system or placement is THE...

Remember, the mechanic makes or breaks the playability of any table your considering buying. Find a good table and an excellent mechanic and you'll yield the best result. Jay

Try Josh Ebert from Club Billiards. Last I heard he had some very nice Diamond Pro's 9 footers with a matching light for around $3000.00 but don't quote me. I know he's at Derby city setting up tables for Diamond but you can contact him here at AZ. He posts under the name ClubBilliards he has...

Josh, Donny Won't be there. I'm thinking we are going to be in the production studio, hopefully. You guy's have a great time, it's the best pool event going. Jay

I'm glad it all worked out for you guy's. Kim Steels are very different than any American tables. With some patients and some good technique they can play very nice. Good luck, and I will be stopping by when I'm traveling in you area. Jay

The only truley effective process I've found is ozone. This will eliminate the smell of smoke rather than just mask it. We have used this technology on tables that have been in smokey pool rooms for years and it really does the job well. It also eliminates mold, mildew and most organic smells...

Cheap imported rubber= rock hard dried out non performing cushions. Try any of the good name brand K-66 cushions and new cloth...Simonis very good choice, good mechanic....Problem solved! Dartman can hook you up with everything you need. Jay

Rob, I've also switched away from superspeed cushions to the black Diamond cushion. The Superspeed cushion is very poorly finished on the edges and has had many of the same rapid breakdown characteristics as the cheap imports without the cheap price. I'm recommending the Artemis, Northern...

The base is definitely home grown, the ball storage box is possibly an AMF, BUT the rails and castings are Brunswick Anniversary. A mongrel for sure.....LOL.... Scruffy. Jay

That would be an Anniversary 1946-1964

Big K, I've been to your home and seen your table, I would say it's the best DIY job I've ever seen. Your refinishing was superb, your level was spot on, your issues with the rail extensions was resolved perfectly and the overall quality of the installation would make many mechanics jealous...

Rick, Is this the first incident of a listed mechanic doing a sub par job? If so, I think the referral section has been working amazingly well. If a customer has a problem with work preformed they can certainly post the details of their issues with that mechanic. Most customers would be...

The humidity of a billiard table is kept as LOW as possible on the PLAYING SURFACE by the heaters under the slate for several reasons. First, the cloth can't wick moisture from the air due to it's higher temperature. Second, The rails and cushion rubber will be much more consistent day in and...

At least 10 degrees above the ambient temperature of the room. Most billiard tables are set at 85-90 degrees (Fahrenheit)

It's an Anniversary that's been painted.

Donny, Tell me where to send them, I have spares. No charge, just send them back to me when your done, Jay

Let's see, 80,000 miles per year, 28 ft truck, 20 ft trailer, 3400 posts to AZ, seminars, tournaments, 100 phone calls per day, 100 e mails and PM's, and almost forgot 300 installs and table rebuilds, Yes John, Glen would be the perfect candidate for president of the mechanics union,....As soon...
