You're just like me. I was holding a floppy, too, and wondering what to do.I have run the 'operator' system on my old computer since the mid 90s. My computer just melted down. I went to Best Buy and bought an 'all in one' computer for $549 and added 'pool house manager'. So far, it looks like...

I'd never put a water cooler in. We sell the midsize (16oz or so) cold bottles for 50 cents. We sell tons of them and make no money, lol. I don't give away the pool time, but I would if I had to. The league players here spend a lot of money. Before I'd charge a buck for glass of water, I'd sell...

I agree about ball returns in general. I doubt that you would find noise or sticking balls a problem if they are set up correctly. They didn't make the opening into the ball box wide enough, though. You can barely slide your hands in and out holding 3 balls. That's going to be annoying for...

They should be playable like that if they stay on. He appears to have rounded the ends of the ferrules at the pads, which sucks. When you go to change the pads the next time that would be an issue. I wouldn't let him touch my shafts again as he doesn't have the ability to do anything positive to...

There's a bunch, though. Jim had cues made for him by just about every cue maker you could name. There's the "elan" bnb Josses, Schons, Rundes and Westons. He had Cogs, Ginas, LOTS of Schicks, Joss Wests, Keiths (got stiffed for a lot of dough, I'm told) and once told me Southwest offered him...

Does anyone know anything I can do now or do I just have to live with it? It doesn't seem to be affecting the roll at all just a terrible eye sore. And of course it's right in the middle of the table. In my opinion, the bed cloth should be replaced at his cost. He made a stupid mistake. It...

See? There's proof right there. Trash talking sells. Five minutes ago I couldn't give a crap about Scrabble. Now I want to see JAM v Spidey live. Make it happen, Justin.

I went Alves with tulip wood points and butt with one natural veneer. There's an upcharge for the tulip wood, but it's what I wanted. I think there is a thread in the wanted/for sale section with pics concerning this if you want to run a search.

Mr. Fels and his writing are one of the true joys of being a lover of this game. I think you could cure all of pool's ills by putting all of his columns in a book and giving it away to young people everywhere. They wouldn't get halfway through before pool was in their blood, never to come out.

No other rooms that I know of for quite a ways up and down the freeway. The local Elks Lodge has even shut down. Anyone on here who has been there knows how sad that is. They just had their 51st annual 3 cushion tournament and have had many of the greats over the years like Allen Gilbert, Robert...

That sucks. Maybe now I can get Monk to move to Medford so we can play $10 one pocket all day.

As an owner, I'd prefer that someone told me or my staff so that we could handle it. As a general rule, the person just doesn't realize it's wrong and a small, tactful comment is all that is needed. I've had players think they were helping me by yelling across the room "Hey! Get your ass off...

To answer your original question-no I wouldn't. I've shipped tons of cheap cues usps priority and they all went great. I've had one early 90s unplayed South West shipped to me, and it got stolen while in the possession of usps. They delivered an empty tube, clearly cut open, a week late with a...

The DVDs are great. Even guys that have been doing tables for many years will likely pick up a new trick or two-like how to stretch rail cloth tight without dimples in the rubber.

Good luck and congrats on your new room!

That's awesome. Sounds like a great time. Was there any point during that night that you would have left the strip to go watch a bonus ball match?

lol. Not to make a 'big dick' reference, but does Diamond still use the 'black' rubber? If so, which tables? thx

Actually, it did! We had the segment on the big screens, and 2 leagues going at the time. The players enjoyed seeing it.

Thanks for the pics! Fats has always been a favorite of mine-watching he and Mosconi in the 70s on Wide World of Sports brought pool into our living rooms- and it was great to see these shots from the 60s. I know he wasn't the best player who ever lived, but he was a better player than many on...
