    Diamond Smart Table Rails

    I recently purchased a used Diamond Smart Table with rail rubber that had all of the properties of a high quality sheetrock. I purchased some K-55 rubber (Tour Edition) from a local supplier since Diamond was out of the black rubber and I need to get this table going. I have glued the new...

    It's down compared to the Winter months, but at least we're not going backwards.

    Opening a New Pool Hall

    Good luck. I certainly hope that you are successful. Honestly, if I had the money to open up a room like you are describing I would not sink it into a pool room. It's a tough business. From what I have seen (very little mind you) the new rooms start out well enough because people are drawn...

    What does it take to make a room profitable?

    I own my own building (thank goodness) and in a town of 22,000 it is still no cake walk. Legalized gambling in nearby casinos, poker games every night, and now 3 of the local bars are having "free pool nights". This all hurts business, but I think what has slowed me down more than anything is...

    How is the Pool Room/Bar Pool business where you are?

    ruff If my building and equipment weren't already paid for.....they wouldn't be mine anymore. This whole town just folds up at 6:00 now (except for the Wal-Mart). People just don't have spare cash.

    Butterfly Splices

    I have seen many of Billy Webb's cues as he lives in a town near me. This guy's cues are gonna blow up one of these days. They are just too good to be ignored. He makes a nice 6-point cue as well. Oh..he's a player too. Everyone around here has received the "rented mule" treatment. I heard...

    Table Lighting

    It is a pool hall. Are there still serious pool players? I currently have fixtures that use fluorescent tubes but was considering going to three shade models that use the screw in bulbs.

    Table Lighting

    Hey, All I am preparing to take down my old twin-ballast light fixtures and go with something newer (and lighter). What type of lights do you have above your tables, and are you happy with them? DRawls

    Table in my garage.....okay????

    Hi, Mark I think a 9 footer is gonna be a little tight in there. I always figure on needing a minimum of 6' from each rail. Not having enough room sucks. It would be better to have a smaller table and adequate room for your cue travel. Just my opinion, and I may have misunderstod your...

    Mid-Mo Pool Scene Takes a Hit

    I love how people work under the assumption that there will always be pool halls around. If one closes, another will open. This is not the most attractive business to be in any more. Right now, running a pool hall is about as much fun as playing alone in your basement. DRawls

    What kind of cue did Harry Sexton play with? Anybody??

    Hi, All The reason that i ask is that I have this old Viking cue that came south with a retired auto worker who returned to Arkansas after he got tired of making spark plugs. The story attached to the cue is that it once belonged to Harry Sexton. He would really have no reason to fib on this...

    Considering opening pool hall

    Right now, if my building and equipment weren't already paid for, I could not stay open. Summer sucks. Poker sucks. $3 gas sucks when it comes to discretionary income. Sorry I can't be more positive. But it is being tough for us right now. DRawls

    I use rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush (or even my finger). The alcohol evaperates faster than water.
