    Divide up the for sale section?

    Wow! No I am not too cheap and as far as lazy goes I do not think so. As far as cheap goes I got rid of this table: Maybe it is 'too cheap' for you! But this is a Brunswick Prestige a GC with furniture that you can 'Google' and it had a retail price of $9K plus but I did not give that for...

    *Cloth request*

    I think you should obtain the cloth you need through the table mechanic who is doing your set up. I had Simonis put on the Brunswick Prestige that Everything Billiards set up for me and when I went with the Centennial snooker table he provided Strachan 6811 Tournament Gold and when I recover my...

    Divide up the for sale section?

    Any thoughts about sectioning the For Sale Section? I think if it were divided by Cues and Other it would be helpful and if the Cue Section was divided by $ it would make for better shopping. How about <200, 200-500 and 500+ I am looking for a lower cost cue and I do not have time to wade...

    Are rail positions table specific?

    Thanks scruffy1 The rails bolt up properly and the table plays well except my skill is lacking as I thought I was 'hot stuff' on the 5 x 10 Brunswick Centennial that I traded in for this table. When I had the Brunswick I would shoot a ball on the 5 ball spot from either the yellow spot or the...

    Are rail positions table specific?

    I asked this in the snooker forum but maybe there are a few mechanics that work on 6 x 12 snooker tables. I understand the rails on an english snooker table are numbered clock wise from the 'D' end with this rail being 1 and looking down the table at the black spot the left corner to side is 2...

    I am sure you will get a mor knowledgeable answer than mine but I moved my 5 x 10 centennial snooker table from Florida to N.C with the slates flat in the bed of my 3/4 T P/U. They were framed so there was a barrirer between. When I was contemplating a purchase of a 6 x 12 from Toronto the...

    Restoring '46 Brunswick Anniversary - Castings Concern

    When I had my Centennial I removed the old anodize finish using the old (smelly) formula Oven Off. Two or three applications and the anodize finish was gone I then polished the aluminium using 'The Worlds Easiest Metal Polish' and this stuff really works - I achieved a great shine by hand...

    Alex Pagulayan playing snooker NOW!

    I watched some of it - hard to say anything bad about watching snooker but the light was a little harsh. What kind of table were they playing on? It looked to me like an old Canadian Brunswick but maybe National Billiards or? The pockets seemed a little forgiving??

    Which pool game requires the best cue ball control?

    Snooker is not a pool game. And I think shot making is the first and foremost required skill for snooker, cue ball control being secondary. Not saying that the game doesn't require a high level of cue ball control, but it pales in comparison to certain pool games. Wow! I cannot believe that...
