Great 1'st post. Well thought out and articulated. Look forward to your future post. :thumbup:

I stumbled on a Dufferin Sneaky pete today that neither the owner nor myself know much about including its age. It has a green maple leaf and a wood to wood joint with the pin in the butt. The cue just feels like high quality in your hands. Did the green maple leaf pre-date the red? What...

Neither table is a great deal. You have a realistic budget, stick to it. Look for a GC 1 or 2 in good condition. You could expect to pay less than a grand for the one and less than $1,500 for the 2 in this market (depending on condition). Be patient with your search. You don't sound like...

Just finished it, Good read! :thumbup: That is a fair price for this book. Good luck with your sale..

C'mon guys.. Someone here has to have experiience with the Gold Crown light.. Is this light made to be able to have it mounted to the ceiling...?:confused:

Can any mechanic here tell me whether or not a Gold Crown light can be mounted directly to the ceiling without hanging it? If so was it made to do so or do I need to do any modifications? Thanks in advance for your help. p.s. I know this doesn't fall under you specific expertise but I...

Can anyone tell me with any certainty if a GC light can be mounted directly to the ceiling? I couldn't find this info on-line and the only pictures of the GC lights that I have ever seen are always hanging. Thank you in advance for any help.

Not trying to be a ballbreaker but you might want to edit your post and change the word rack to triangle. Rack is either a verb or short for cue rack (I really don't mean this as a sarcastic correction).

Charlie Brown called, he wants his one ball back..

That was a nice tribute. Very well done... :thumbup:

Been playing for around 27 years. Other than the first 5 years of playing (everyday) it has been one long layoff with occsional short stretches of playing. When I was at my best I don't remember ever aiming, I would just instinctively know where to hit the ob. The only thing I thought about...

Happy Birthday Keith! Pool misses you and your personality. I would love to see you play again, but as long as your healthy and happy that's good enough for me. Have a great day and a great year! :grin-square:

This question is not about best hit or playability, although it could be. This is more about pride of ownership. Which cuemaker do you hold in the highest regard, and you can base it on hit/playability, style/craftsmanship, investment and resale value, or any other factors that you feel are...

aaahhhhhh..... Thanks, now I see the value :thumbup: :confused:

Great advice! Getting a fair price is important but getting a table mechanic that does top notch work and has many references is woth your table's weight in gold! Don't go with a mechanic just because you can save a couple of bucks, you may live to regret it and it may cost you more in the...

The Best cue between $900-$1,200. There is no such thing. Not being a smart ass, just a very honest answer. What you feel constitutes a good hit and what someone else feels makes a cue feel like it has a good hit can be two different things. Even if the criteria can be agreed upon does not...

Best bang for the buck is a used Brunswick Gold Crown. Tips to avoiding a mistake in buying a table; pulling the trigger before you have done enough research on current market value and Buying a brand new table (unless it is a Diamond). Use the search engine, you will find a pretty unanimous...

Price gas high to by here me. unemployment go more but beer good so tuff to say by what people think might be better for what pay. I agree is slow business but need drink so not need more gas but buy beer instead.

Wow! Talk about things coming together! Can you give a description of the cue you got coming from Joel? I have another 3-4 years to go before my # comes up on his list. Which is good because I need that amount of time to save :D.

This reply is also for the op. I am not a table mechanic, but I have done a lot of research before replacing the cushions and cloth on my GC ll. Artemis is generally regarded as the best cushions available, however, they are not considered the best bang for the buck. Diamond does use Artemis...
