Depends on the approach angle whether you aim to the diamond or opposite. So now we would need 2 sets of sights. IMO pool tables play short anyway. maybe the 2:1 kick comes out close, but as Eddies says, better to get a feel for the table.

Interesting. What does your colleague say to do?

Hope this doesn't derail the OP's thread. What was the purpose of pinned slates? Simply alignment along the length of the table? I've seen cut off pins.

At a minimum to have something easier than doing by hand. I just do it by hand even though there's 3 good tip guys in my area. By the time I drop off a shaft and drive back home, I could install at least 6 tips on my kitchen counter.

YES

Maybe you're right, but from my point of view, I'd like to know just for the History. Where did Rambow learn. Did he have any guidance in cue building or did he just figure things out. Was there anyone that coached him in woodworking? or did he just figure things out. Maybe the answers are...

Played a tournament in Decatur, IL years ago. Deno Andrews vs a local really good player. Ashby, Byrnes, Bill (the Hawk) Hawkins was of course in it, and others. Deno's opponent kept leaving his chalk on the table. After a while, Deno would put it somewhere close where it could be found...

Read most of the story and skimmed much. If this was me I'd have to find another room. Might be tough for you. This kind of BS is what led me to 3Cushion To answer your final question. There are unwritten rules. Basically respect your opponent and those around your within earshot. Common...

Read the 2nd one. I've loaned it to some gambling friends. Married 5 Times Killed 5 Men

Guess I gotta try the 8-4 shot even though 4 is IMO past the tit. Basic teaching in 3C says without getting into too much, if you're laying somewhat closer to 90degrees to the rail, like on 2, you aim opposite the diamond. If much greater angle, like 8-4 or maybe even 5- 2-1/2 you aim at the...

My last comment. Isn't this (in Bold) what you said Old People do. I'm an old people but I'm still listening when it comes to mechanic'n for all trades. I also teach certain areas of mechanic'n. Of course normally my way only.

I'm thinking he only watched the first part where the rail cloth is sprayed.... With the rails laid out on the table that's covered and didn't realize the bed cloth is old cloth. For RKC: Another assumption concerning the "place for Dust to go" My assumptions is he's talking about chalk dust...

Where on the short rail would you aim for on a strange table and this was your 1st shot of the game.

Sure does, but we're 10' away not 3 or 4. Love watching balkline. Spent 30mins playing one time, way too hard. Most folks think 3C is the hardest game... Maybe it is, but, I disagree, balkline, straight rail, 1rail.. demand way more precision IMO to run 100balkline or 1000 caroms. This I...

This happened during a new cloth install, so leveling was part of the program.

I wanted to move my table a few inches from a wall since my main competitor uses a long cue. My mechanic said all I need is a pallet jack, those paver bricks laying against the house and a couple of 2x4's to protect the table.. Easy Peasy for just just moving out of the way. My table is...

Do you have the cue? If so take it to any hardware store if the thought is its a standard thread like 3/8-16

Miss running into Joe on my trips Davenport. Really enjoyed talking about things including Pool. He taught me his Clock which was a big expansion on my Clock. Good stuff!

Used to sell sandpaper to Playmaster about 30+ years ago. Can't remember the town? Wellsville? You Mechanics might remember... They also had a factory nearby that manufactured leather pockets. Good old days? Good days learning how not to sell. Now I remember, it was Bland, MO. =

Watching golf on TV, you get to see the swing+ all the emotion. And of course the Result. Pool?? Not so much. Sometimes you see the player line up and get set, Then the camera shifts to a close up of the cue tip, then just before the stroke the camera shifts to a close up on the intended...
