    Would the Pro Cup measle ball match the crown standard set specs?

    Aramith Crown Standard?

    Thanks, k2craze. Yes, you're the one I saw who had special testing equipment mentioning that they were consistent from ball to ball. So as long as they play well, I think I'll start off on my new table with the crown standards. If they get damaged I'll think about another set later on. And...

    Aramith Crown Standard?

    I just foresee kids launching balls off the table and possibly chipping a nice set of balls.

    Aramith Crown Standard?

    I'm going to have new Simonis 860 HR cloth put on my table, and I don't want to get a set of balls that reduces the life of the cloth. I want to go with one of the Aramith (or Centennial) options, but for some reason the Crown Standard isn't listed on the Saluc website. It is supposedly phenolic...

    Anyone had table work done by Lanza Billiards?

    Thanks. Yes, I know Pat would be great, but he's kind of far from me and Ed is local. I've been in Ed's shop and I like the guy. I just wanted to make sure he does good work. According to people messaging me he does. So it just makes sense to support my local shop.

    Anyone had table work done by Lanza Billiards?

    Thanks. I'm sure there are other mechanics that service the area, but I'm really just curious about Lanza at this point, since he's very local to me and I'd like to support him if he does good work. I got a couple of PM's that make me comfortable going with him now.

    Yeah, compared to the Gandy Big G that I handled, the parts from the Gold Crown are heavier and more substantial.

    Gold Crown II Repainting Questions

    Thanks, Pat and xianmacx. rickdee, I'm actually out of state for a couple of weeks, so I don't have the hardware in front of me, but I know that there were no plastic parts anywhere. When I Googled "anchor straps", the following Gold Crown service manual popped up, so I can see the parts of the...

    Anyone had table work done by Lanza Billiards?

    Bumping just once to see if anyone has any info. I see that his family has been in the business designing and installing tables for about a century, so I'll assume that his work is good, but if anyone wants to share their experience, please post or PM me. Thanks!

    Table-Buying Dilemma

    Thanks for posting, JC. I'm looking forward to putting your work to the test. I'm sure it'll be great. If they're the proper nose height and new rubber, and they were glued on properly, how can they be bad, right?

    Gold Crown II Repainting Questions

    Thanks! A couple of questions. I read somewhere on a thread that acrylic paint shouldn't be used. Only oil based? Also, do I just use a paint roller? And if I want to use other colors than traditional will that effect resale value do you think?
