Growing up my local bowling alley had 4 Gold Crowns off to the side but nobody ever seemed to be playing on them. And being under 21 I couldn’t even step into the room even if it was completely empty. I’d be surprised if those tables are there anymore.
I was in a bar box league once and it...
I think this was a great video, one of the best.
Though often times I can see the patterns clearly when watching others, like I can figure out a good path for a runout, but when I get to the table I’m not always executing properly, for example choosing the wrong english. It’s almost my mind...
Every time a new set of colors is created, the whole point of making them easier to distinguish on TV fails miserably.
Traditional sets have their issues, but the pink 4 ball set didn’t solve anything since the 3 and 5 still look the same.
And the Cyclop set is even worse; on top of the 3 and...
She was willing. The part where you mention Bert breaking people down is spot on. The money on the bed and the writing on the mirror confirms that.

Like others have said, stay away from dark cloth colors unless the table is only a room decoration accessory and nobody will be playing on it. I had black felt once and it was the worst decision. It took no time to show track marks, lint and debris.
Green and tournament blue are the best...
I’m nearly 50 years old, so I’m getting close to geezer years. Recently got a GC5 and love it. I looked at Diamonds too, but I grew up playing virtually only on older GCs in the local halls so my mind was pretty much made up.
Don’t ever see myself playing in tournaments, so getting a...
Looking forward to giving this a shot. Glad we have nearly 5 months to submit the exams. :cool:
No chance on the top prizes but I’ve got nothing to lose and can only gain by learning in the process.
Awesome gift, seriously!
Finding an authentic vintage mid century scoreboard like that seems impossible. I would love to find something like that for straight pool.
Otherwise it’s one of those mass produced wood/brass products found on just about every billiard retailer website...
The equipment abuse was cringeworthy and tough to watch. Seriously I’m wondering if you plan on recovering the table..
Great video as always

I came up with a variant of Fargo since I’m a intermediate player and find Fargo brutal and demoralizing. I miss too frequently and it becomes a practice in break shots after a while.
The game uses the same principles of Fargo but the scoring is different and rotation is not used.
Break all...
My impression with Diamond is residential sales take a back seat to commercial. I would also guess that commercial/tournament is a more lucrative business anyway. Meanwhile I ordered a Brunswick GCV from my local dealer and it was installed two weeks later. Can’t imagine waiting 4-5 months...
I say if you have the space, and I really mean have the space (no obstacles, poles, furniture, bars, lamps, a spouse that hoards) then get the 9 footer.
It’s not the color of the balls on TV, it’s the commentators. We need more like Joe Wilson that could provide play by play AND color even when there was no color to be had.
As far as these new balls, they’re ugly and confusing. I don’t need to learn yet another set that fails in its own...
