    Too Much Arguing In Booth @ TS

    As was pointed out the stream is free. The commentators have a lot of time to fill in and I don't think it is easy. I don't see too many standing in line begging to get in the booth. I don't view the talk any different than when Howard and Dandy Don made what is now Sunday Night Football...

    What makes a break cue a break cue?

    Break cues are kind of like the flavor of the month. One says use a lighter cue to get more speed. Another claims more weight will aid in putting more force into it. Stiff shaft. Phenolic tip Large diameter tip Small diameter tip Then it gets into kicking up your leg and moving your body...

    Custom Anniversary from Mark Gregory

    It is beautiful. Here is a word of advise. I don't know who will be playing on that table but you will need to get some rubber or vinyl chalk holders to protect those nice rails. The rails on my table recieved many indents from the chalk being put on the rails and some dents from the chalk...

    Are 10ft Tables Bad ?

    Players that go from 9 ft to 10 ft find it different for the same reason that it is for them by going from 9 ft to the bar box. It is almost a different game. The game is also changed by making the pockets smaller, depth of shelve, and angle of the rail in the pocket. It is not because the...

    Damn, just damn...

    Not really pool related but the WTF reminded me of this. The owner of the Detroit Lions died and the players have his initials on their uniform as other teams do when their owner dies. The owner's name is William Clay Ford (WCF). When watching a game my wife made a comment that it is a...

    Diamond 4 Pocket Table (No Sides)

    It will be interesting as it will change the game by eliminating a bank could have been played in a side pocket and also more balls will be tied up as they may be blocked from the corner but could been made in the side. It will also have an affect on the break, will be one less pocket for any...

    Shoes

    I have worn Red Wing shoes exclusively for the last 16 years. I don't get the work shoes. They have a line of casual type shoes that I bought on recommendation of my neighbor. I went into the store and tried on a few pair that appealed to me. Problem was they didn't feel right and I...

    SMH.... I might be switching from pool to ping pong (More money and cheaper to enter)

    Even though you make this thread in jest for anyone interested in Table Tennis/Ping Pong here is a great link and start https://www.pingskills.com/table-tennis/strokes-and-technique/improving-your-reflexes/ One thing that ping pong has going for it is that players do pay for lessons and...

    Can burn marks be removed?

    Not really true. The CB skips with or without a cloth. To prove this place a coin about and inch away in the path of the CB. Do your break and be amazed as the CB will not hit the coin and will fly over it. You may have to move the coin a little further or closer but it will fly over it...

    Rotation 8-Ball

    Not about rotation of 8 ball but the rules of 8 Ball years ago stated that the one had to be made in a designated side pocket and the 9 in the other side pocket. I think this rule was changed because of the coin op bar tables. I don't remember if those balls had to be pocketed first or how...

    Getting ready to maybe break tradition ...

    I have one. It works to get up the chalk but doesn't pick up anything else. I also use a vacuum. I also sometimes use a canister type with the rotating brush. It is the same as brushing the table. I found that a micro fiber cloth folded a few time works as well as the Simonis X-One. Try...

    Getting ready to maybe break tradition ...

    Years ago I bought a Brunswich Heritage table and had a burnt orange cloth installed to match the decor and satisfy my wife. She played a few games and never became interested in pool. The cloth remained on the table for years and I was the one who had to "suffer" with it. I honestly...

    Building a backyard pool room

    I would eliminate the windows as they will cause glare, not energy effiecient and are a easy break in and you don't really need the light from them. Would only have them if wanting to use for ventilation but then humidity may be a factor. i would also have the tv by the table or sitting area...
