Here's how Lee Vann Corteza got through it on his way to a run of 225. https://youtu.be/BVo0AI-PvNc?t=20m39s

I get that. I like buying quality. When you buy the best, not only do you enjoy having the best, but you can usually eventually sell it for at least half of what you paid.

Can someone show me what a DIY starfish out of carpet would look like and how to mount it? Thanks.

What about using a hole saw to cut a hole for each ball in a lid that fits the 5-gallon bucket? Maybe line the holes with felt?

I didn't worry about it until now. Thanks. :p The balls look nice after the polishing, but you think they are scratching one another and will create serious damage over time?

Thanks for this post. It made me rethink the zip tie idea before I made mine. I decided to buy a small bucket and turn it upside down inside of the 5-gallon bucket to create a sturdy base for the buffer. I cut a hole in the center of the small bucket so that the buffer wedges in tight and the...

So it looks like the top 16 were responsible for not only those 36 runs over a hundred but for that bunch of 99s. Impressive!

Well, maybe I'll add listening to Bruckner symphonies as practice for my pool game. :wink:

Well put, David. I don't think I'd have taken pool seriously if I hadn't come across straight pool. I might have been interested in snooker or 3-cushion if they were popular in the US, but in 30 years I've never played snooker and only tried 3-cushion on a billiards table once. There's just...

David, I haven't watched your run yet, but I look forward to it. Thanks for posting it. David and Bob, I wonder if audiophiles have a tendency to turn to straight pool for some reason. Here's my home studio rig. I'm a singer/songwriter trying to finish my first album.

Yeah, maybe it'll sharpen up my shotmaking in the beginning. I could use that. So frustrating right now though.

I'm glad I found this old thread. Today I played a good stretch of maybe 3 hours on my recently setup table for the first time, and I don't think I ran more than 20 balls. My pockets are 4.25" corners and 5" sides, and I got a ton of rattles. The facings are also very hard, and I don't know...

Thanks. Good to know.

TV Mike, I got an email after signing up to billiardnet.tv that had me confirm my subscription and then showed an address in Pakistan. Is this right? devdesks i-8 markaz islamabad 44000 Pakistan

Hey fellas, what size are the pockets on those tables?

Thanks, but not an option.

I'll deal with the condition of the table for now, but it has a severe roll-off because of badly warped Brunstone that couldn't be flattened during table setup. Just keep me in mind if anyone comes across a good deal on a good set of nice and flat, wood-backed slate for a Gold Crown I. I live in...

I appreciate that what you are all suggesting is the ideal, but if you keep the cue ball off of the rails it's really no issue. I'm finding that to be the case. I'd much rather have a 9' table in this room and occasionally have to reach for a short cue than play a small-table game. As long as...

I was surprised to learn that people collect old clay ball sets to play. There must be quite a difference in how they play.

Here's the table I had the table set up yesterday. It's a late model Gold Crown 1. I want to thank WigglyBridge and Onestroke for convincing me it could be done. I've played a few racks now, and the dimensions are no problem at all for me! I bought two 48" Balance Rite cues that I plan to...
