Thanks, Jack!! Went there today on my lunch break and bought a bunch of stuff. That store is great!!! Never been there before. I might get 2 pallets so that it raised it off the bed to get the 5th wheel plate out of the way.z. Then i could ratchet down the pallets, then put the slates down on...

This may be kind of silly, but I am going to Chicago area next week to pick up a GC. (Thanks JZMechanix!!!) and I am nervous about moving it. I have a short bed f-250 and I am trying to get an idea of all the parts this thing has and how it will all fit and what blankets to bring. Should I...

also a kim steel for 1200 in chicago area as well. These seem like good deals!

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/spo/2267838333.html good deal? 700 bucks.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies. Keep the opinions coming if you like. Gotta go 9. I think i will regret it if I don't. I have young kids and this will mostly be me playing straight pool by myself. Not a competitive player..... Yet. I should have enough room. Basement in one side is 15x 30...

I am looking at tables for my house and everyone says Gold Crown or diamond in 9 foot, which sounds great, but are hard to find locally.(Indiana) Plus, once you find a gc or diamond I need to pay 400 to move it minimum, 400 for simonis, 400 for new rails. It kind of seem like not that good...

Thanka guys. That is exactly what i needed. Not worth it to me. Appreciate it. I am combing the craigslist boarda for a table. I think i want a 9 foot and they are hard tp come by. Plus, the antiques are real cool. I may have to just wait for a newer 9 ft Olhausen or see if a gold crown...

I am having trouble determining something about using english properly and aiming. Lets just assume I am lined up dead straight with a ball and I am using right english. (No reason I can think to do this, but just for explanation.) Do I line up my cue with the cue ball and the object ball...

Oh, i didn't know that was the original name. I thought that was a model name! Oops. Here is listing. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/spo/2247024613.html

A guy by me is offering this table for 250 bucks. BRUNSWICK-BALKE COLLENDER . Says made in 1896 with original stencil. Are these any good or more troible than worth?

Mods moved i guess. I originally was trying to post in the Wanted/for sale forum to try to get some cues for sale from board members. Then it got moved o reviews and now here???? Strange. Thanks all for the suggestions. What is the Dickie built cue?? Explain? I like something with some...

I saw Max Eberle run 180 or so balls on a video at vimeo and really liked his stroke and play style. Simple, clean, and precise. Artistic even.

Fonz, I thought muecci's were no good anymore?? Also, what is abs ferulle and what are 3c cuemakers?? Thanks.

Krbsailing, Thanks for the response. I am new so go slow with me. So you actually made this? I saw this in my search and was intrigued. You made this from an old house cue. What does it play like? Why 60 inches? What are the advantages/ disadvantages of the length? Any other info...

Looking for ideas for a cue. Been out of the game and most of the terms on here I don't understand. I had an old muecci when in HS that I like and now have a Shmelke sneaky that is just okay. Looking for a simple cue with a nice soft hit. I like a soft fell, don't really like the tink of a...

It seems that a near unanimous feeling is that muecci's are not well made any longer.. no?

anything else??

Looking for some videos of some good strokes. I was trying to find someone that plays more with a head up style and stance (further from the cue) and uses more of a rhythmic stroke and release, rather than the more deliberate take back and pause of many of the top players today. Any...

Wow. The answer seems unanimous. Gold crowns all the way. Thanks for the heads up about the ones in Hammond. I will check out tonight!! Snake- The GC's in Chris's in Chicago were all very short (height from the ground.). I assume this was just their thing and not a standard among...

thats kind of what I was hoping for, some suggestions for what to look for a good deal on craigslist, as far as good brands or models that would work for me. Some type of normal pocket is okay, i just didn't want some gaping home/rec style pockets that would hinder me if i played on tighter...
