    Is Schmidt's and charlie 626 Legit

    What a joke. Your 'stock' GC 3 happens to be the easiest 9 foot table on the TDF chart.....hmm....random luck I suppose........................ you, the man paying to break the record, just happened to have the easiest 'stock' table ever produced laying around.... and then you go off and mock...

    Is this the ONLY way to get better at pool?

    I have bought several of Dr Dave's videos and gained a ton from them they are so much better than the stuff that is posted. At this point I don't even watch youtube howto videos anymore because they seem to be a waste of time. Like for every video I watch I will maybe learn something that can...

    Slow Rails - What to do

    Your humidity is really high. If the rails are in fact dead it should be really obvious that the balls are dying off the rails. Get some new superspeed and with that humidity the table will be going over 5 table lengths, I would also recommend 760 because drawing the CB will be easier in that...

    It's Not the same game...

    I am not fat and I guarantee the Diamond tables are up higher than the Brunswick and the Gandys were even lower. However your 10' is probably a little higher than a normal 9' brunswick.

    Pocket size

    4.75" seems small enough. I've played on a table with 4.5" side pockets and I can say that unless the balls is like 2 inches or closer and right in front of the pocket you cant cheat it at all.

    Pocket size

    The side is definitely way too big for 4.25" corners. Side pocket should be .5" larger than the corner pockets, unless the corner pocket is smaller than 4.25", in which case they should be 4.75". I also think side pockets should never be larger than 5.25" (which is still too large). Anyways...

    Slow Rails - What to do

    I like all of this but I want to add that high humidity generally makes the table play faster (rails speed up significantly) on this benchmark shot. When my room is dry my table goes a little over 4 table lengths, when the room is very wet it goes over 5 table lengths. When it is a little wet...

    Pocket size

    Red Label Diamond at a hall here has 4.125" corners and the facings are thin very soft rubber. The angles are not agressive though. You can hit balls hard and they fall if hit clean but almost all shots wont fall if not hit clean, there are a few shots that can be hit badly which happen when...

    The snooker tables are significantly higher than a Diamond so it cant really be compared.

    It's Not the same game...

    I used to do it up to about 32 years old and took a 5 year break and upon coming back deterimined: 1. it was no longer good for my back 2. I didnt play any better doing it.

    It's Not the same game...

    The tables are now up higher which is probably part of it. Tables like the old gandys which were really low would destroy your back quickly if you always had your chin touching. Probably similar results with the brunswicks which were higher but still relatively low. The diamonds are...

    Snooker movie call Break, 2020 !

    I sort of watched the movie the counter guy at the pool hall had it on like 6 months ago while I was playing. Lets just say the main actor can't play very well IRL, thats for sure.

    High Humidity Play

    It still does the same thing. The rails get bouncier and the swerve on sidespin shots its really affected. The balls also have more skid. The slowing down of the table cloth seems to be the least of the problems for me, however.

    Did the Gandy Big G have a smaller sibling?

    I agree they play funny. The rail rebound consistency just isn't the same as a commercial Brunswick even with new premium rubber.

    Cornhole gets great niche "sport" ratings on ESPN and now strives for entry into the Olympics games :(

    The problem is their hands are all over the same balls and tables.

    Brody chews my chalk......

    This is bad. There was a post to alt.sport.pool newsgroup in the 90s where a woman said her kid chewed a cube of chalk and got lead poisoning. So be careful.
