Robin Dodson really is a class act. She came to a couple tourneys at my parents pool hall back in the day and she was so nice and friendly. She played challenge matches and showed people how to jump, took pictures, she was very nice to everyone. We actually sold her jump and playing cues for a...

I actually met quite a few pros back when my parents owned their pool room. The problem is that I wasn't really into pool like I am now so I didn't appreciate who it was I was meeting. We held a few big tournaments that they sponsored Ismael Paez, Robin Dodson, King Kong, and Darlene Stinson in...

Definitely go to Best Billiards if you can. It's one of the nicest, cleanest rooms I've been in. They have great equipment and the place is so nice and clean. I was impressed when I went in October. I'll be in town this weekend and I'm making it a point to go there. It is a few miles from the...

I'd like to see Darren Appleton Vs Shane Van Boening in a format like the Hundal Vs Dominguez TAR. I think I heard that DA doesn't like long races so I think the race to 25 best of 3 format would interest him. And we know Shane will play anyone any way you wanna play. That matchup would be...

Very educational! Very nice rack! Thank you very much for posting it. :thumbup:

This thread is a perfect example of why you should never debate race, religion, or politics. Everybody has their own views and those views are usually so strong there is no changing anyones mind.

Who said I look at things from the worst perspective? What I said is I have no positive meanings to reference. I have never heard of the swastika being used in any other form than by Nazis/ racists. If I would have never read this thread I still wouldn't have any idea there was an alternate...

Why would a company even make this case? If it is, like some have said, for buddhists I'm sure they have plenty of other symbols they could have used. Why would you put anything that is or could be misconstrued as racist or offensive on any product you sell? Most people wouldn't know which...

Lmao I don't have any problem lappin up but I don't know if he'd be happy about a 250 pounder sittin on his lap blockin his view. Hell I'll lay on my back and hold one end of the table up if it means I get to watch it live. I'll email you, thanks man.

Will the studio seats be for the whole event or will there be single day seats available? It's my birthday the 13th but I won't be in town in time to make it to day one but I'd love to see day two and three if it goes to the third day. Either way this should be a great match.

That is awesome! I hadn't heard about it but I just looked it up and you are correct. Now I gotta find out how to get tickets for the studio, that would be the best birthday EVER! Thanks for the heads up.

Like the title says. Is there anything big going on in Vegas the weekend of Jan 13? I'll be there for my birthday and wanted to see if there is anything going on. Anybody know of anything? I found the local weekly tournaments and plan on playing in at least one while in town but I was wondering...

Yeah that works too. I prefer my way just because I don't have to handle the slate as much. Goes straight from the dolly into the truck and straight from the truck to the dolly. Keeps you from having to lean the slate up against something while you bring the cabinet out/ take the cabinet in...

Yes it is true the slate weighs about that much. Those suckers are heavy. Tools you will need is a screwdriver/ drill with bits, and sockets with a wrench or bit for drill. The cabinet weighs probably 200-250 lbs. The easiest way to do it is using a flat furniture dolly (the kind with 4 wheels...

Ok here are pics of the two problem areas. Please excuse the foot. And here are some pics of the table itself. I couldnt find much on the manufacturer Sure Strike either, if anyone has info on them that would be great. Anybody know what this thing might be worth? Like I said I...

Hey guys, I picked up an antique Sure Strike brand pool table yesterday and it's in great shape except for one slate has two rail bolt threads that have cracked the slate horizontally. Any ideas on what I can do? Does anyone make replacement slate with the side rail bolt threads? This table is...

I think that most people in general don't think that way. You see very few people investing in their future. Whether it be through stocks, 401k, or even investing in their own business I just don't think people think that way, pool players included. In every profession you have people who have...

Agree with the others on the bondo. Or if you don't feel comfortable working with that then get some rock hard putty. It comes in a powder, all you have to do is mix it with water. It's easier than bondo to remove from slate screw holes if you have to cover them too.

Well I finally stopped by Metro last night. I was in the area visiting family and stopped by to check it out. The tables look good. Looks like they keep their equipment in pretty good shape. I was worried after all the beer stained valley comments in this thread but it's not bad at all...

Mark the face of the joint with a number or a unique set of marks(a line, 2 dots, a dot and a line) I saw someone do this on a "What's in the case" on YouTube and thought it was a pretty good idea. You could even use different color markers.
