I have a wood pin in the shaft. 1/2-10.5 Synthetic Collar. Dieckman God rest his soul. Love all my Dieck's and they all play a little different. Even wood from the same tree!!

Sent to a friend that really needs to burn his table but this vid has all he needs and he has the brains, tools, and knows how to use both. Wallet isn't the fattest and why I sent it. He can afford his own labor and likely materials. That's what this vid is for IMO Thanks

All I'm saying is there's folks that say pool balls should never be in contact with water. Not that water alone is a good agent for cleaning unless you drop your peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a rack of balls.

Can't really understand your questions. Photos look like you have a nice table.

Tough crowd here as always. All I was trying to do is prompt some folks to do some research. Seems I may have failed........Again. I haven't read this entire thread to find see if a polymer expert chimed in. So it seems the resin used for billiard balls is a Phenolic resin vs a Resole type...

So I spent about 15seconds to come up with that list. Here's a list that took a couple more minutes to locate. The website is from a Company that manufacturers Counter Tops for Chemical Laboratories. Notice how they prep the material before inspection after exposure to the various chemicals...

Lousy environments to play pool IMO. One reason I quit. Like Fran's approach. Find out who she is and find out the whys and whats. In Sales, if you don't know the needs and just pitch the pitch, without asking questions? You're gonna be a loser, and you're not gonna be of any help to anyone Ever!

I can understand someone preferring to teach a different set of drills or no drills at all. Wondering why Mother Drills would be put in the ash can of history. or "Fallen by the wayside"

Didn't read this entire thread but agree. Anyone in your business using quick glues?? Frankly don't have a clue. I waited over a year for a cue from Dieckman that was essentially done. Except the Shafts. The 2nd one took over 2 years. That one was from scratch. Using 5 minute glue on...

This may be of no value here. I've watched induction heating a few times. Once at Cleveland Twist Drill where they were silver soldering carbide to a drill. Only maybe a 1/16" beyond what needed to get red hot, got got red hot. To me that's the beauty of Induction. Very focused/controlled.

Guilty as Charged!! BTW I corrected your spelling error! Just having some fun Mr. Webb

Thats the way things were done all the time in a pool hall in the 70's

Purple case looks Fellini to me. You'll need to supply the bottom and top for the experts to determine. Likely need more photos on the other 2 as well. I'm no expert.

As was said before, this seems like Back Hand English. Can you tell me what the difference is? I've spent considerable time making sure I don't swipe the CB and feeling much better about a straight stroke. What is the advantage of the swipe?? Serious question!!

IMO Dennis Dieckman is top of list. But, he's busy playing at the Big Sky Billiard Room. His shaft wood was 20yr and older Hard Maple. He took a year or 2 to finish one after the blank was gnats ass away from done. He measured runout on one of mine after 5 or 8 years. Forget the number...

Cool way to answer the question. Keep it up folks. For one I enjoy watching the Old Greats. Hopefully once we run out of vids a couple of our Historians will clean up the remaining names for the OP.

That's a long way from Lawrence. Maybe he'll do that next time he travels to Denver or Seattle

There's a man here in STL that's a PGA member and Top local player. Also decent bowler. Think he has couple 300 games.

Where do you hold the holder? Do we need a holder holder holder?
