Try this... Set up a line of object balls between the side pockets. Then, using a measle ball or a striped object ball as a cue ball, take ball-in-hand behind the headstring. Set up a straight-in shot at one of the far corner pockets, and try to hit a PERFECT stop shot-- one with NO movement...

Buy this glove... get a set of ass-weights... and you're ready to play!

Now I don't care who you are... that's funny.

Hard to believe, isn't it? I'm in shock myself.

Very Happy to See These Mechanics Being Recognized... Bob and Pat worked on my home table about a month ago and did an outstanding job. (I posted about it here). Glad to see that they are bringing their talents to Sandcastle and that their efforts are being so well received. Kudos to Ed for...

Sign of the times, unfortunately.

Don't care if he won the bet or not... it's hard to believe that Jimmy Mataya hates his money that much!:D:D:D

Thank you, Nathan, for saying what we too often forget to express. Like most everyone here, I completely agree. Rep to you.

This is an engaging thread with some interesting responses. George Fels (with his usual eloquence) supports the OP's argument in the current issue of Billiards Digest. In this month's column, George discusses two players (Mike Eufemia and Tom Parker), each with high runs of over 600, who...

Jay, I'm really enjoying these reminiscences that you've been posting. Interesting reflections by an astute observer who has spent a lifetime dedicated to the game. Keep up the good work!

I've never seen anything remotely related to pool in one of these places (not that I've looked very hard). This is a good find. Did you see this in one of the chain stores, or at a local place? Any info on how to locate would be appreciated.

Just Amazing Florian, your skills are incredible. Best of luck in the French championships.

This is the way I've always understood the line. As others have pointed out, Amos starts the gambling session by playing the pigeon-- he tells Eddie that he's been the subject of electroshock therapy and displays facial tics and twitches. He looks uncoordinated and acts like he is barely able...

Great minds think alike. I just had my table redone with Simonis camel and am very pleased with the look. Pics are in this thread.

Rich: Thanks for your advice. I'm sure that Glen did a great job on your table as well. Sounds like we're both happy campers. P.S. Both Pat and Bob are strong, healthy boys who have no problem stretching the cloth as tight as you could ever want it. Both are very nice guys as well.

Two Outstanding Table Mechanics- Pat O'Donnell and Bob De Turk I'd like to publically thank Pat O'Donnell and Bob De Turk for their excellent work on my home table. It has never looked this good or played this well. Pat and Bob have been working together of late, and I was lucky enough to have...

Great job restoring a classic Kling. With a fresh coat of finish the color and grain of the wood really stand out. I'm sure that this restoration is a great source of pride, and hope that the table will bring you many years of pleasure. Congratulations.

It seems to me that the price ranges quoted in the linked page are on the high side. With rooms closing all over and light demand for 9' tables for residential use, prices have become quite depressed. Not trying to knock the OP's table-- I also have a 9' Gandy in my home and like the table...

So you are indicating here that a "resolution to your satisfaction" involves being provided with goods and services that you are admittedly not entitled to? And rather than covering Inside Pool's out-of-pocket costs for shipping the replacement issue, you expect something for nothing? I don't...

I hit with an R360 for the first time just a few days ago. I share your opinion, Johnny. A nice, well made cue with very good feel.
