    Wanted: copy of Rags to Rifleman

    Very Helpful Thanks for the info! Before I shell out some $$ or put this (expensive) book on my list to Santa, can I get some piece of mind from people that read this book? Is it in depth and well written :smile:, or is it a disappointment in any way :frown:? Thanks for the replies.

    Diamond table makeover

    I'm a little confused :confused: ? Did you request wider pockets when you originally had your Diamond set-up? I thought 4.5" corners were standard for a Diamond? Beautiful table and pool room by the way! :thumbup:

    RKC Diamondizing my table as I type!

    RKC Diamondizing my table as I type!

    Diamondizing basically means that my Gold Crown ll will be modified to the specs of a Diamond table. Modifying the specs entails; 1. extending the subrails to tighten the pockets (4.5" corners and 5" sides). This will also change how a ball sits in the jaws of the pocket. When a ball is as...

    favorite pool sayings

    When you are trying to see enough of the ball to play a safety or make a good hit, "show me some paint". I heard it from Jimmy Mataya and have been borrowing that word track ever since.

    What is a cuemaker's thoughts on Ray Schuler?

    I don't hear much talk about Ray Schuler and his cues here on AZB. I know Ray has passed, but I was wondering what thoughts cue makers here have on Ray Schuler and his cues. Did Ray have any original contributions to cue making and design? What do you think of the quality of his cues from both...
