The Brunswick site shows version 7 as the newest, in a "tournament edition".

I searched the forum but couldn't find any reference to this thread, which surprises me. I was looking into new and used Gold Crowns and see so many different versions (7?). Is there a chart somewhere that outlines the differences between them? I'm considering a used GC instead of the 9'...

I've done a few elephant ear conversions over the past several months and have generally liked the look and feel better than leather. Lizard skin provides a unique feel as well but can be fairly thin sometimes which can cause a hassle with wrap channel depth. In my brief experience, it seems...

Just send it to PB and be done with it. Not that costly.

I'm a bit confused at this point. Some say absolutely NO to Wes and YES to Tony only, some say the opposite, some say Tony isn't certified, some say he is. I'm not all that concerned about "certified", I'm more focused on talent and results. I just want the best install I can get for an...

My old neighbor did his without a lathe, it turned our pretty good. He used a cordless drill on the joint pin and a wood dowel at the butt clamped to two sawhorses... pretty funny but it worked for him.

If the frayed spot bothers you, leather may not be the best choice. Many folks find the seam to be bothersome. You can do a superior installation and create a near-perfect seam, but if you really want to find it, you can. If your hands are sensitive enough, you will feel it from time to...

If you have a ding in the linen, and love the look of it, hate to lose it, and are okay with a wrapless feel, then perhaps having the linen covered over is an option. This is what the Meucci cues have. You get a wrapless feel and a wrapped look. I for one, like that look. If you wanted to...

That's actually a really good idea.. We all have some shitty old screwdrivers hanging around.

I hate it when that happens. I need to start watching the post dates. Why don't they archive these super old threads? Sorry. I'm not sure why it showed up in the "new posts" list after five years of non-activity. Lock the posts after 90 days of inactivity and this problem stops. I'm...

I haven't tried that one yet. I did go to the Jax Beach one last Friday night and it was a ghost town. Probably 12 open tables out of about 20 at 9:30pm. on a Friday. Nice Diamond tables though but they had the LED rectangular lights that were so f'ing bright you almost needed sunglasses...

I for one am excited to get mine. I'll adjust to whatever bank conditions it presents just like we have to do on league nights when we move from table to table and from bar to bar.

Did you go to the one in Jacksonville proper or the new QBall in Jax Beach?

Fingers crossed. I hope the daily rain and humidity don't become a bummer. I won't miss the Chicago winters, nor the taxes or crime, but we'll see. I have yet to find utopia in the US, everywhere has its pros and cons. I'm sure the Jacksonville area will be no different.

Finally got to connect in Florida. Went to 9-Ball Heaven last night and watched the Friday APA league stuff and a 10-ball tourney. Mixed feelings about the venue but there were some VERY talented shooters. I watched one guy win the lag and go 45 balls before he missed, only to lose in the...

You see the same thing in golf. Every time I seem to hit a plateau and get some coaching, I take several steps back, but over time, I reach a new high point. Sometimes it really does require throwing out what is wrong, but somehow manages to work, in order to fortify the foundation and reach...

I went to order some today but his website says that they are not currently taking orders?? I tried to order 6' of Tomahawk without success.

Wax is fine. Just FYI, I have had great results with nano-ceramic on CF shafts

Certainly possible to change it, but no way you fill a brass insert with something and then drill/tap that for something smaller. That would just be a really ugly end result. Have someone competent remove the insert, core it if necessary, and put in whatever new joint you want. Not rocket...
