As a weak player, I learned years ago that anyone offering me a spot could and would beat me, no matter the spot. They knew more about pool and more about spots, that makes the difference. I saw a guy getting spotted 14-4. They were playing one pocket on a 9 foot Diamond, a table both of them...

I posted a for sale item here today to see how it works. It was fairly easy, except they really want everyone to use PayPall, which I hate due to their seller-unfriendly terms of service. As a window shopper I like the 'photos with small blurb' on the front page and the ability to see 144...

Whatever you get, choose a standard joint like 3/8-10 or 5/16-18. I am sure the Schmelke reverse brass joint has passed the test of time, but it would he hard to get a second shaft anywhere but at Schmelke if you choose their proprietary joint. For a new inexpensive cue, I like the $100...

I am getting it... an you guys here are helping me a lot. I am not sure whether or not I could tell the playing difference between a hack rail setup or an accurate rail setup, but I think I could. I am pretty sure I know what a good recovering job looks like, both at the time the job is...

Thanks, RKC, I had already started looking at all of your threads. I found a recent thread in which you say this, in reference to a gaggle of $500 9-foot Gold Crowns for sale out of some bowling center: "RKC: The cushions on the GC 3 s failed on most of them built at that time, turning rock...

So the sub-rail modification and Artemis cushions cost $1500 or a little more? Was it unplayable before, due to worn out cushions, or were the sub-rail mods and Artemis cushions an upgrade for your personal satisfaction? Unfortunately, if I am to have 9 foot table, it will have to be on the...

Shipping costs from IA to north Texas would eat up my budget big time I suspect. Is there any feature of the GC IV (or II or I) that people normally upgrade when they buy one nowadays? I am thinking rail rubber, at $125+ for the parts, and whatever the cost for the installation. I don't budget...

What are the repair pitfalls to buying older tables, I mean tables from the 60s and later, good used $2500-and-under tables? The savings incurred when buying an old table can be eaten up by expensive repairs and rail replacements, which makes the used purchase not so great a choice. I have...

I used to teach target shooting to kids. I would tell them if they want a money-making sport they might look into golf, because target shooting was not the way to make a living, at best it is an expensive hobby for all but a handful of sponsored people around the world. Pool is not so...

I am about to go look at a 9-foot A. E. Schmidt table, supposedly from about 1962. It looks to be styled from that era, anyway. My questions: Are there replacement rails, irons, and rubber if the table needs this? I know there is a current AE Schmidt pool table manufacturing company in...

I am sorry to hear your recovery continues to be painful and difficult. One friend of mine had the surgery about age 60, and she had a long painful recovery and swears she will never have the other knee replaced no matter what. Another friend, also female, had a knee replaced about age 50...

I see from the AMRO website that Billiard Den in Richardson is a sponsoring venue, or a venue at least. I wonder if the Den is under the same ownership as it was a few years ago, when Billie Incardona and other Dallas area notables showed up every Wednesday. The crew usually came to play...

The best indicator of pool room viability may be the thread here: "Established Pool Business for sale! - 11-20-2013, 01:29 PM Corner Pocket Billiards N café in Wheeling WV is for sale- $175,000 takes the business and all inventory items." http://forums.azbilliards.com//showthread.php?t=341496...

Mark Wilson is trying to bust the myth that players can quickly develop a pro-level stroke (including stance and PSR) by doing 'whatever feels good and comfortable'. Wilson says players are better off trying to develop what he calls an 'orthodox' stroke, which might be uncomfortable at first...

...seconds If you get more offers than you can use, please have the seller pm me. I am in north east Texas and just need one good 9 foot practice table. I prefer a one piece slate Diamond 9 foot with normal pocket and rail cuts, not too tight. But a 9-ft. Brunswick GC IV would suit me fine...

My friend built a new construction two story building, shop below and quarters above, about two thousand square feet each floor. She got bank financing by presenting a good business plan. She lives above the shop and has a one or two employees working the flower/gift/card shop downstairs...

If promoters ever want a big product sale on TV or on streaming video or whatever they need to get away from the pay per view or subscription model completely, and into the selling of commercial time. Isn't the bellwether of a successful TV show whether or not you can sell enough commercials...
