    High Praise,Best Recommendation for Book

    Already have the Ray book. As soon as I get my pool room done I can start working on my table. I then plan on working through Ray's book and another. I haven't bought Tom's book yet because I'm really focusing on 14.1.

    High Praise,Best Recommendation for Book

    Great review, I've been looking to add this book to my library. Now my question is what's so bad about Ray's book. Is there something in it that's not factual? I plan on working through it as soon as my table is setup.

    advice on buying a used pool table

    The first thing I think you need to do is decide what table you want. From there you need to decide how nice you want to make it. That's where the money comes in. This is how it's been going for me. I wanted a GC IV but was willing to look at all Gold Crowns. I figured I was either going to...

    In what circumstances does the weaker player get more advantage from tighter pockets?

    What are you guys considering tight pockets?

    FS: 1988 South West pre date w/LOA

    Interesting Southwest with one shaft and without the typical ring work. Rings appear to more like what would be seen on a pacifier. GLWS

    RKC, you should earn that. I sure wish you were headed to Chicago. I'd like for you to set up my table.

    Triangle tips are my favorite

    Just last night as I was playing I felt I should just go to a Triangle. My player right now has a Moori medium on it and it's become very hard. I don't like Kamui's. I have a Precision medium on a cue that I find it a little soft but in all fairness it's only got a couple hours of play on it...

    Simplest answer why diamonds play/bank short

    This thread just reinforces why I'm sending my rails to Mark. They were converted to Artemis and I believe they should be Superspeeds. I don't understand why you would want to try and make a Gold Crown play like a Diamond. If you want a Diamond buy a Diamond. If you want a Gold Crown buy a Gold...

    Simplest answer why diamonds play/bank short

    The answer I like best. Seems to me that Gold Crowns should have Superspeeds and Diamonds Artemis. They play different.They're still quality pool tables. I prefer Gold Crowns most likely because they're all I ever played on.

    Simplest answer why diamonds play/bank short

    Good question. I guess you'd have a Diamond that's been Gold Crowned. I think think they're both nice tables. I prefer Gold Crowns.

    Wrapless vs wrapped cue

    I went to a wrapped cue from wrappless. I have a Lizard Skin wrap and an Irish linen. I prefer both to an unwrapped cue at this point. Over the 2 wraps I have i prefer the Irish Linen but the lizard skin is my player. I'm most likely going to have an Irish line wrap put on it.

    Converting GC IV from drop pocket to ball return where do i find the parts?

    I want ball return for convenience as well. First I don't like gathering the balls. I find it much easier to get them from one location. Second I'm really focused on playing straight pool and feel the ball return is great for that particular game. I do think the drop pockets are better for 1-P...

    Converting GC IV from drop pocket to ball return where do i find the parts?

    Thank you! Mark was explaining this fix to me. Great to put a visual to it. If all goes well in the new house I'll start in the next couple of weeks or sooner.

    Converting GC IV from drop pocket to ball return where do i find the parts?

    I specifically wanted a 4 for those reasons. no counters, real slate and flush pockets. Even though I overpaid for my table I'm happy I have one that never saw commercial use. Mark Gregory will be doing the rail work and I'll fix the frame's shortcomings. I'd be really happy if I could get RKC...

    Converting GC IV from drop pocket to ball return where do i find the parts?

    The IV's were definitely an improvement over the III's. To be quite honest with you I don't think the III's are bad. I'm a Gold Crown guy and like the way they play. At a minimum the IV's are 10+ years old and the previous versions could be over 50 years old. Sure improvements can be made to...
