    Who Were Your Mentor or Mentors For Playing 3C??

    Delmar Edel and Jim Young were my teachers in the beginning. Delmar would sit for hours at Bensingers in Chicago when he lived there and watch the top players in the country in the middle of the last century. Then, when I started to leave Mudsville and play in other tournaments, it was George...

    Kim Steele - Heated

    I have an Elite Pro and it is a great table. Built very well . Solid and heavy. Beautiful wood with cherry stain, I think. Slates weigh about 550# each. Mine has the same heating system thermostat as the new Cheviottes. Don't know if they all did. I've played on a couple other tables just like...
