I'll add Our own Cajun Fats (Carl Semmes) to the list. One of the best communicators I have ever met. Very good coach as well.

wow that is a pretty piece of wood Mr. Varney. I appreciate you posting that for me. Doesnt seem to be a wood often used in cues (at least from my searches). I wonder why?

I am having a cue made by a local cuemaker (he is pretty well known and respected). Anyhow - I wanted a brown wood with brown veneer scheme and suggested rosewood. He responded he had a piece of zircote that he thought would be really nice looking. Do any of the cuemakers on here have...

Dont forget To add the Dr. Pepper - the drink of choice with Rail Mignon.

Hole Question I have been using the hole re-inforcers for years and have never noticed a problem. In fact having a greyhound I have found a great way of getting rid of hair and lint is using a lint roller over my cloth.

The tape Doesnt seem to be much different than the cloth (with regards to friction). I can still draw the length of the table. Its a pretty sight when you get it to draw exactly back on the tape (telling you that you struck it dead center). You could also use this to set up any shot you...

Happy B-Day Frank And Fathers Day. I need to make it out there to your place again and play on that sweet anniversary!! Chris

I practice the long straight in shot a lot to make sure I am hitting center ball and lined up straight on the shot. So much so my table gets "streaks" where the ball has burned a line into. Today I put some blue painter's tape on the shot (all the way from the cue ball to the object ball) in a...

At College When tourning the campus (UCR) one of the first places I went to was the Rec Room - 4 nine foot tables. There was this cocky guy playing on it - he was a janitor for the university but he had for years hustled the college students. He could play but I knew I could beat him. After...

John Sure is a pleasure to deal with. I am having a case made (with my name on it - my second JB case) and ordering two justis interiors. I really do like his cases - they really are built well for people who have cues that they want to keep in pristine condition. Highly recommend him. Chris

One more observation Diamond has realized that on average people are taller now than they were 50 years ago and have incorporated that into the table (the playing surface is at least an inch higher). May not seem like a big deal but if your tall and old like me the small tables can take a toll...

Responses Hey Mullyman - I like fast tables - I play a lot of straight pool and it seems that on faster tables the balls open up better on break shots. Also there are some shots that were just impossible for me on my GC III that are possible on my Diamond. And I do like the wood corners AND...

Wall Mounting Can you mount these to a wall? Would be wonderful to do that at home to record matches.

I have had both (GC III and Diamond Pro Am) I sold the GC III for the Pro Am. Big differences: PRO AM: -has smooth flat rails (pockets are flush with with rails - no black marks on shafts) -is MUCH quiter (GC sounds cheap with you fire a ball in - metal clang - big deal if you have hardwood...

Classic... Run balls like eating wheaties for breakfast - you truly are one of a kind Glen.

Push to 10 ball among men pro's There seems to be a push to 10 ball format among the professional men because 9 ball has become "to easy" (players have figured out how to break and play shape, and run out). I frequently hear how 9 ball has become a joke. That one extra ball makes the game...

How strong a move would it be ... if after this set ends for the loser to grab a coin to flip, turn to the winner and say "Do it again?". LOL

I dont believe so The tour edition is a darker shade i think.

If I remember correctly... Keith did give props to our very own Dabarbar (Frank Almanza) while growing up in a post.

Patronage I give AZ mine.
