My patriotic JJ Hope you guys like.

And his new Southwest Is choice - I dont see how you can miss with such a fine instrument. Seriously though Donovan is a gentleman and a great guy. Tuna

Anybody seen them or have any comments? Chris

I have read about the glue opinions - just curious if there are any tricks you guys you to cutting off the old phenolic tip (my customers tip is bad) and trimming the new one flush with the ferrule. I use a razor blade with "cuttable" tips. Do you guys use a right or left handed but and try...

Just wanted to give kuddos to Freddy Bentivegna for another entertaining and thoroughly educational book (about half the book is dedicated to banks - and there are some pretty crispy ones). The book is well put together and has some very rare photographs of players of old (including the Beard...

Where and how do you guys jack up a gold crown (I have to do this - having new flooring put in).

I am going to go from carpet to hardwood floors. Do I have to breakdown my table - have the flooring put in - the reassemble. Or is there a way to shift my table around while the flooring is being put in? Any advice on how to safetly move it is appreciated. Thanks! Chris

Pool Instruction I teach pool (I live just north of downtown Fort Worth). If your close to Bedford I run a pool tournament at Volcanos. Let me know if your interested. Chris

My case Hey Freddie - now I got a case to match those fine shirts I got from you. Bank on Brother! Chris

Amen Sheldon Working on non centered pins is a *****. I discovered a great way last night to flush it up. I found the high side on the shaft and marked it with a pencil. I took a playing card and put it up to the shaft on the high side and found it made it flush (the thickness of the playing...

Anybody have any tips on getting a new shaft flush with the butt (ie - when somebody asks you to make another shaft for their cue). I have been cutting it close to the diameter of the butt joint - then chucking up the butt using collars and sanding the last bit (being extremely careful not to...

Cloth question It is above the surface - I tried a razor blade to no avail - you would have to have something on the other side to cut against wouldnt you?

I have Simonis 860 on my cloth and have a place where a small thread sticks up. Whats the best way to remedy? Its really small so it doesnt make a difference - but I practice drills and my hand seems to find that place and its annoying.

Bola Ocho He's right on the money - I have the same set up - GC III 9 foot table. You do get spoiled. Only thing I would add is how to care for it. If you get Simonis cloth - vacuum it regulary with a bristle attachment - use quick clean once in a while and clean your balls with a ballstar...

I live in Fort Worth and am looking for other players that love this game as much as I do. There is a straight pool league at the pool room I play at but most play 8 ball (I run a pool tournament - 8 ball on Saturdays). Its a place called Volcanos. Anyhow - if there are some good players that...

Port Chester Mickey Went through some of the greats like butter. Unfortunately with many pool players was a user of drugs.

After hours match I have this match - its an after hours match. Reyes wins - very good match though. At first it looks like Reyes is going to blow him out - but Grady hangs in and wins a few. At one point Reyes looks like there is no way to not sell out the game and he caroms off like 5...

Ballstar Yes there is a apeture where you insert a bottle and squeeze the polish in. Its a liquid. There is a seperate compartment for each ball. They come out looking brand new. Highly recommended.

My opinion I have the Ballstar and it works PERFECT. You can find them for about 340. They last and there is no changing anything. You just put in the liquid polisher and turn it on. You do 8 at a time (2 loads for a 18 balls). I couldnt recommend it more highly. I know Blud has great...

I have an offer in MN - I currently live in TX. Is there an active pool community there? Any real pool halls with 4.5 by 9 Gold Crowns? Also - houses here are really cheap. I have a 1900 square foot all brick house worth around 140-150K. Can you get something comparable there or is it a lot...
