Like him or not, Fats had, hands down, more star power than any pool or billiard player in American history.

These multiple ID's need to be kilt pronto Ahem

Although they might encourage a few amateurs here and there, I do not see shrinking tables and larger pockets as desirable for our sport, as they are the equivalent of miniature golf, a dumbed-down shadow of the real thing. You don't train for the PGA masters on the windmill loop at funland...

How cute. The rest of the world finally catches up to the level of U.S. players and now you get a big head over it? I mean damn, its about time. I guess 100 years of practice will do wonders for anyone. Welcome to the elite level. Don't blink.

Its a damn good thing that American taper is friendly. you never know when things could go sideways. (pun intended)

Where (geographically) does the slate for your tables come from? What are the dimensions of the slate used on your tables ? Can the slate be leveled, or at least adjusted, accurately without taking the rails off?

Hmm. Interesting thread. I'll put it this way: Unless you play proficient 1pocket, 14.1, AND 9ball, you're no Harold Worst. Who's the Worst in the house these days? (pun intended)

The Johnston City tapes include what you described, but there is more to it, and an interview with Harold. Have you seen those?

Yep, there's a blatant typo... Unless Herman is now available as a plush toy:eek:

The reputation and scorn pool has received in the U.S., it has earned. Fully. In other countries, they do not receive it because they do not earn it. Across the sea they seek iron-clad honor instead of stealing wallets like a whore. That said, keep in mind that the rest of the world is...

From its first legislative sessions in 1819, the Illinois General Assembly, in "An Act for the Prevention of Vice and Immorality," prohibited citizens of the state from playing "at cards, dice, billiards, bowls, shovel board, or any game of hazard" or running "any horse, mare, or gelding" for...

I will pick it up and deliver it for 1200 but not install.

Both Fels and Freddy took a little artistic liberty with Herman's life story. As a matter of fact, George had to print a retraction at one point because it wasn't actually Dennis Walsh who pushed for Rambow's new gravestone, it was me. And Freddy's story about all of Herman's stuff being...

So, the rest of the world finally learned the American game well enough to beat us at it. Congrats to them. Now it's time to play a different game.

We are USA. And you're late.

In some cases, that's why punching and pressing are done as separate steps in the process. And in some cases, the die design cuts, presses and shapes at the same time. In other words, you have plenty of options, as long as profit is not your motive.

As I mentioned, there are many methods for punching and pressing tips en mass, so obviously this is not the only way, nonetheless, for a "beginner" producing somewhat small batches, a machine like this one will let you punch whole "sheets" of tips at a time, rather than just one at a time...

I don't remember who it was, but I was talking with somebody about this very idea a few years back. Such a registry could also help identify/track fakes. If we could get a little help putting things together, I wouldn't mind seeing a database like that included on our museum website. (We are...

Yes, leathers ( and tips) can be punched and pressed in a number of different ways so there are many devices out there to choose from that can be used either as-is or easily modified to produce tips en mass.

We actually have a stack of those new in the box lol
