Christmas wish list Since I just got my GC ll set up by RKC :grin: (lucky me!) I can't see playing with the old, cheap, battered balls that came with it. Hence I will be asking Santa for a new set of Aramith Tournament balls. :thumbup:

Thanks for the generous offer. I was about to pull the trigger on your copy until I found another signed copy for $495.00 :thumbup: Thanks though....

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.

Does anybody have a copy for sale? Thanks :D

You got to be kidding me:rolleyes:

I've read a couple threads on here regarding these balls and the reviews have generally been very positive. Before I pull the trigger on these (they're not cheap) if you own these balls or have played with them please give me your thoughts. Also, if you purchased these at below the standard...

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:

Totally agree! A must read for pool players! Does anyone know what Danny is up to and how he's doing?

There was no way I could have bought a Diamond table, new or used. I stold my GC 2. Total cost for my GC 2 with new Diamond rubber, Simonis 860 HR cloth, Having RKC Diamondize it, deliver and set it up. Right around $1,800. So you tell me... I think a new Pro-Am goes for around 4-4.5 grand...

Will do James.. Thanks for the reply! I just started a Master's program a couple of months ago and I am already getting the feeling that the difficulty of my program suddely increased 10x with the addition of my new Cobratized GC 2. In fact I am feeling everything in my life will slip a...

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...

Can't wait! Looks like he'll be here tomorrow morning. Nice set-up! :thumbup: Looks like you have plenty of clearance on all sides. What model Gold Crown is that and what kind of cloth and color is it? New rubber? Artemis/Diamond? Thanks for posting pics! Snake

I purchased a Gold Crown ll a few months ago and let it sit in the the house of the people I purchased it from until Glen (Realkingcobra here on AZ, for those new to the forum) would be able to pick it up and work his magic. It was a long hard wait as Glen has a crazy busy schedule, but...

This is bang on! Sigel may be top 5 in 14.1 as well.

Where and when is this exhibition/clinic being held in Illinois?

I am sorry for your loss, best wishes to you and your family.

Welcome! I am a few months new here myself. You will find good people and good information on this site. WARNING: Highly Addictive, you will find yourself checking this site every time you check your email, only you'll be here for an hour at a time. To prevent future ball breaking, get...

Thanks for posting! Haven't seen that in years. Really enjoyed it, although someone should have taught Jonathan Winters how to hold a cue..

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.

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...
