    Is it considered bad form to take a shot just to screw over your opponent?

    Hey folks, So you're playing a game and you've got no shot. Nothing. But you could tap the ball a few inches forward, maybe leaving it in the center of a cluster of balls, for no other purpose other than to ruin any potential shot that your opponent may have. Is this considered bad...

    Can cheap balls ruin your felt?

    Hey folks, Just got my first table. I played a lot back when I was a teenager but very little since (40's now). So I can beat many, but I'm still considered a beginner by anyone with talent. My table came with $99 balls (Spencer Marston Hot Shot) and I put Championship Tour 30/30 felt on the...

    Is Champion Tour Steel Gray a light or dark gray?

    Hey folks, I've seen 2 common images of Champion Tour Steel Gray on the web. Both are below. One is a lighter gray and one is a dark gray. Does anyone know which one is more accurate? Also, is this the only gray they offer? Can't find anything else. Thanks

    Simonis 860 stock?

    Hey folks, Went to purchase my first table but the table supplier informed me that the Simonis factory had a fire and there's a nationwide shortage of 860 cloth. They said I could supply my own if I could find, but said it's really hard to find and there's price gouging going on. Looking for...

    Did the Gandy Big G have a smaller sibling?

    There's a used Gandy pool table for sale, that has a striking resemblance to a Black Gandy Big G, but the seller says it's an 8' table and has a ping pong top. Says 1" slate. Did the Gandy Big G have a smaller sibling that had a ping pong top? And if so, is it as equally solid and good as the...

    Spencer Marston vs Glenwood

    I asked a different variation of this question in the main forum ( https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/one-import-table-vs-another.543971/ ) and someone suggested I repost here. It was a great call, but rather than repeat the same question, I'll rephrase it to focus more on the Mechanics...

    One import table vs another

    Hey folks, Was gonna get a Gold Crown, but I added a bar area to my basement and now I truly can't fit a 9', so I gotta go 8'. I've watched the used market for months and months and nothing I like/want is coming up (in all fairness, I'm picky on style). Anyways, I played on a Brunswick...

    Would you rather... (table specs question)

    Hey folks, I asked this a month ago on reddit and I was surprised by the responses so I'm interested in hearing thoughts from this forum as well. I'm finishing my basement and adding a pool table. My budget is around 4k, give or take. I'm only a casual player, but love the game and plan to...

    Legacy pool tables cushions

    Hey folks, Buying my first table and going for an 8' as anything larger will be tight for the room. Used market around me doesn't have much that I'm in love with, so think I'm going new. My budget with delivery and install is at the 3.5k mark ideally +350 for some 860 felt. There is some...
