    Acoustic wall drapes/16x20 room

    There's a big difference in keeping sound out that is coming through a wall, and cutting down on echos from reflected sound inside a room. Sound proofing is hard. Killing echos is relatively easy. Not easy, just moreso. Every place you add texture cuts down a bit - carpets, drapes, shades...

    Acoustic wall drapes/16x20 room

    If you are looking for quick and easy, have you considered a spray on textured acoustic paint? Gives a rough surface, usually used on ceilings but don't see why you couldn't use it on walls.

    860 simonis gold

    Sadly that photo was taken in the first days, and they are a bit less shiny now and I need to work on them. I have some of the aramith polish that seems to work OK, manually with a microfiber. The cue ball though has chalk marks that just do not come off well with that. I've been using glass...

    860 simonis gold

    To your original question though, I ordered a table and saw gold and saw camel and picked camel. I think the gold was a bit bright. I loved the camel. It looks best if you have warm colors in the room (natural woods, etc.) It also looked nice with the slightly yellow tones on the...

    LED pool table lights

    Sure. If it has a standard 4 foot tube, there are any number of variations on that. Just search amazon (or even your local big box store) for florescent replacement. Note there are at least two variations you need to consider: - Ballast use or not -- some will work with the existing ballast...

    Chalkshaper..... cool new gizmo

    Because one can then write or draw something, not just rub. And then you have to decide WHAT to write. Writer's block can then paralyze you, leaving you standing there with chalk in hand and nothing to say. Your opponents get bored and leave. The pool room closes, and locks you outside...

    Canada Billiard La Condo Stainless 9' Table

    Yes, quite pleased, and when I have traveled and stopped in other places and looked at alternatives, I have seen nothing comparable. Due to a divorce, I moved. I got the table. Robertson arranged the move, so I got to see it disassembled and moved and reassembled again, and remained...

    Brunswick Centennial Balls

    This made me curious, so I grabbed a camera and two references and shot the following. The color chart is a MacBeth form if any photographers care to use it to analyze (I did not), and the paper is just a piece of printer paper -- no promises it is pure white (but I promise the neutral sections...

    Pool Table Room Build

    With the ever increasing size and decreasing weight and cost of LED (and even OLED or QLED) screens, you will come pretty soon to regret a projection TV, not to mention you might reach a time when you can't even buy one. But as to your drawing just put the chair on rollers or sliders and move...

    Pool Table Room Build

    Two possibilities. One is just about shared space... I'm suggesting that putting up a pantry wall requires space inside for you to walk, making it expensive in terms of square feet. A pantry wall cabinet that's (say) 18" deep requires not 18" but 18" + maybe 36" to the wall for the human, so...

    Pool Table Room Build

    One thing I discovered in now two moves into tight quarters -- it's real easy to think because furniture that is low is not in the way of the cue, that it is not in the way. For example a sofa. I was surprised how far back one foot goes in shooting. Even when it isn't actually in the way...

    Brunswick Centennial Balls

    I bought a set with a new table last June and they look just like the photos above. Think of it as "warm white".

    Looking for a special table light

    @pt109, dimmer, definitely - and not sure if wine is amusing, but people having sipped enough wine playing pool is definitely a source of merriment. @Scott Lee - no, nearby in Ft. Myers. But probably so. Hectic time the next few months getting in new home and selling the current, maybe spring...

    Looking for a special table light

    @MitchAlsup - thanks, but it's too pool-table-like I think. But I'll consider it. @pt109 - Hmm... that's quite an interesting look. 2800 lm sounds adequate as well. It's a bit shorter than I would like, less than 4' on a 9' area, though; I think the ends of the table would have a lot of...

    Looking for a special table light

    I have a 9' table that is also a dining table. For reference a shot is below that shows it both ways. In my current house I have cans in the ceiling with eyeballs that light it reasonably well. I am moving. The new house is styled differently, and the room will be a lot smaller, so that the...

    Pool instructor near Tampa FL

    Yet another "Scott Lee". He came down to Cape Coral for me once (I think he was here for something else), great lesson, learned a lot, plus fun to talk to and learn from.

    Photography: Women's Pool Vs Men's Pool

    Very relevant photos. I think maybe we were too restrictive in some descriptions. Sideline action, pre- and post-game shots are still sports shots. It doesn't have to be during a play. (Yeah, that's Tebow signing autographs in his foray into baseball, I kind of liked the book title being...

    Photography: Women's Pool Vs Men's Pool

    So on a somewhat related question... and I mean this as a neutral question from someone who has no clue to someone in the business... Do pool players consider themselves athletes? As an example: I was a bit surprised that golfers think of themselves as athletes (I have photographed college D1...

    Photography: Women's Pool Vs Men's Pool

    Well, I would say it depends on what the game of pool is all about. :rolleyes: On my home table I have seen views like one of those, but not the other, but maybe tournaments are different. On a more serious note, a lot of people do team and individual shots that are more glamour shots than...

    Photography: Women's Pool Vs Men's Pool

    I will reiterate the caveat that I am not sure Pool should be considered a sport in this regard, but... With the exception of humorous or personality shots of sorts, when someone poses for a shot, I would not call it sports photography. During warmups for example I got this: It's posed...
