I would hope that Chris or someone posts photos of the new Deluxe lathe and let us know if the current Deluxe is upgradeable with the new parts. If the old can't be upgraded then I'll be very disappointed! I don't want to open my mouth too much until we get more info from Chris. Thanks, Zim

Where's a good source to purchase motors? I'm looking for reversible variable speed motors and rotissorie style motors! Thanks, Zim

On these tapering machines... what is the size of the lead screw and feed rate, what rpms are you turning the wood and the lead screw at? Thanks, Zim

FWIW- Travis (Blackcreek) is making his own Full Splice w/veneers! Last I heard they were not for sale to other cuemakers, only in Blackcreek cues! Zim

When a player wants to improve their personal game (no mater the game), they practice and practice and practice.. right? Well what if that person does not know what they are doing wrong or why he/she keeps missing the pocket or not get to the desired position for the next shot, would you...

I think that BALL COUNT is probably the fairest way to HCP an 8-ball league, not by games! In 8-ball, the better players will win 70% or more of the games, which means that the lower hcp players are winning only 30% or less of the games. By using a ball count scoring system it requires the...

Scott- if I misread the membership numbers, my mistake, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading "over 500,000 members is US, Canada and now Japan". Either way, all you said is correct... but I (and I'm apparently not the only one) feel that the local level should have a payout in ANY league. If...

Math is simple... $7 per player x 10 players per match = $70 per match Pay back is $3 per point at a max of 5 pts per match (pay back for local level) = max of $15 payback per match. $70 - $15 = $55 per match goes to LO/Nationals/APA Home Office! $70 x .2144 (less than 21.5%) = $15.008 How is...

I love these threads... bump to top!

The P.R.O.S (as someone labeled it nicely) is for Pool Rooms ONLY, not anyone in the billiard industry; which is what the BCA caters to! Zim

WOW! Congrats Troy and Jamie! The cue buying/collecting masses couldn't ask for a better pairing... wishing you both much success! Zim

I've had this happen a few times and put a fibre pad between ferrule and tip and Loctite glue bonded fine and tip stayed on! Zim

Normally don't dig up old threads... but someone was asking to see some pics of full splice blanks from Schmelke. Zim

Do you have a website for your business so we can see what you have to offer? I have something unique that might spark some interest! Zim

It's a race to 3 w/l, no handicap! Zim

This should be a good event with lots of fish in the sea, as Mark put it! I'd come out, but Zim's Rack 8-Ball League has the All-Star tournament at 5-Star in Troy, IL. Calcutta starts at 12:30 (Mark- have time stop by and pick a horse or 3), play immediatly after. The top 32 players qualified...

A lot of good players showed up for the 89 Singles Event... even I was unsure who to buy in the calcutta. The players paid quarters for the games, no greens fee taken out, just $5 for TD. Zim

Mark- Danny and I need to set down with you and explain Zim's Rack 8-Ball League to you! We are working to bring "Vegas" to "St. Louis"! Zim
