    Another video showing Cyclop cue ball rolls off once in a while

    Never even seen a Cyclop ball in person, so I am neutral on the subject, but in the first vid it looks like the ball takes a jog just as it passes over the area on the cloth where the break is being hit from. I would suspect the cloth on that one. Didnt see anything unusual in the second vid.

    Classic Tables: Preserve or Restore

    I had this discussion with a leading table restorer. He said his customers want the shiny new look. To me it depends on the condition of the table. If it is still in nice shape, veneer not peeling off, not waterdamaged, etc my personal preference is to clean it up and conserve it rather than...

    Update on Simionis drama

    Is the grade marked on the table as well? I forgot whether I got 860 or not on my table, and was going to try and look it up on the receipt. I happen to have one of the UV flashlights (not for bedbugs!) Got iyt cheap online.

    Question about Predator shaft warranty

    Does Predator say to not break with the shaft? If the dont mention that, its fair game for a replacement under warranty I would think.

    wax bulge under table cloth

    If its only for a few months and you are not going to reuse the cloth, this sounds reasonable to me.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan vs American Pool Player?

    Heres the quote in this whole thread that I agree with most. I dont believe that you are irreversibly a snooker player or a pool player.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan vs American Pool Player?

    Impressive to be sure. The equipment is slightly different between pool and snooker, cloth, ball size, rails, cue. Does the equipment make it easier to do long power draw shots in snooker or pool?

    Anniversary pool table light

    That is a beauty! Are the corner pieces Anniversary corner pockets? They match the table in looks but from the pics seem to be a smaller size.

    The Silicon Trick

    I had heard of the trick shot method of wiping down the cue ball with silicone. I had never heard of wiping the cloth down with a silicone rag for regular (non trick shot) pool. Edited to add: Never tried either one.
