I'm not sure if I'm missing the point or if this is just bad info and have been watching just the odd video , thinking, shooting and trying to sort some of it out inside the old noggin. I came to the quite simple conclusion that if you draw lines through the shot, hit the CB perfectly on...

quite a funny ad. the table are applied with the craft of solid wood over HPL scared to say PLASTIC? wood over plastic? I guess its like veneered plastic? why is that a craft? do they employ specially trained wood over plastic laminators? speak bad bad engrish much? metal trims...

William Dethloff it shows in the signature of the drawing. above he put Wm. Dethloff, so that fits.. I came across an image someone here posted, it was essentially the same table as mine but the maker was a small company in Texas.. NOT BBC.. the image is sepia toned.. I printed it out and...

it kind of equates to the old school way of thinking that if you share the details of your "trade" you weaken yourself by opening yourself up to competition. 1930's mentality. For some old timers, the philosophy that they grew up under is slow to die off.. I tend to think in the school of...

I have a Brunswick Balke Collender table and the frame and parts are very similar, as are the legs. Yours has straight sides whereas mine have a curvature. the base frame does not come apart, on some models it did, for shipping. Brunswick was a later company. i think its likely your...

the administrator has set the maximum post length , thats easy to change. its a setting in the user control panel. It happens to me in often in the political posts, many go on about nothing particularly pool related, but if I start reading a post and dont have time, or it does not...

I think the spin or "gearing" affects aim as well as the contact point. anytime you are hitting the OB so it is not straight on, and are also hitting the CB center ball you are throwing the object ball and you are causing it to spin.. I think I habitually compensate for that unless...

You might check that profile Sheldon. I dont think you are trying to scam anyone but ust so you know, your check my feedback link reads as this : Oops! We ran into some problems. This member limits who may view their full profile.

a good way to buy things online is to ask them to meet you at the police station, do the exchange there and you are on camera. If the item is too far to actually meet and you dont know the person then it's probably a good idea to give it a pass. I wouldn't buy a cue I can't examine, or a...

Only the tougher pool halls have games that end in knockouts ;-)

I never said anything rude. you did that. read it again.

how rude

im not a cuemaker nor have I used a cue lathe. but general to lathes , the 3 jaw tries to center the object and can and should be very close to center. It's never perfect as perfect is infinite. because a 4 jaw is adjustable it can be dialed in accurately to center.. so the 4 jaw is...

I sometimes like watching some of the older matches just to see the pro level game play but professional televised sports are just not my thing, over half the time is spent watching commercials. Sometimes they are on where we play and Ill of course watch it if its on a screen near me. I'm...

my older table has a metal rod beside those planks , tightening it draws everything together and stiffens the structure. the wood had shrunk a tad in length in over 100 years, so I added a shim there.. like at the ends of that missing plank to make up for the shrinkage. . worked fine.. then...

Personally I'd say I love the game but couldn't give a hoot about commercialized sports. Snooker is a thing I do to get AWAY from the "idiot box " .. ;-) One doesn't need to watch porn and spend lots of time discussing it, to enjoy good sex.. it might even give you a complex ;-)

it's normal for someone using an accurate level to keep flipping it end for end, if it is out a line or two you will see right away... I see what you mean though with a very accurate level you want a rigid and hopefully close to level surface to adjust it with, otherwise it's just all over...

probably a reference to adding one or two extra rail facings in order to reduce pocket width.. Of course one can simply use thicker rubber , but many are sold in little packets of a dozen by the suppliers of cushions etc for that purpose.. I've never seen ones offered that are double the...

Eatons , Simpsons Sears and "The Bay" were all huge retailers.. Eatons store brand was "Viking" - no relation to the cues. I don't think Wallmart has a house brand. https://www.communitystories.ca/v2/radio-chez-nous-canada_radio-at-home/gallery/viking-radio-1934/

the one I saw seemed surprisingly light, I guessed 17 oz. I wondered if it might have dropped an ounce since it was made.
