    Clean Gleem Polisher Review from an owner...

    Clean Gleem Update: Still really enjoying the CG 16 Machine. My current frustration is finding a suitable spray bottle for the recommended cleaning mixture! I mix about a Tablespoon of Aramith Cleaner to 1 cup of Isopropyl Alcohol 91% in a small spray bottle from the big box store. After a...

    Dynaspheres Platinum vs. Palladium...

    Dynaspheres pool ball sets seem to come in two flavors: Group 1 has "Palladium", "Rhodium", "Titanium", "Chromium", and "Vandium" as their style names. Group 2 has "Platinum", "Gold", "Silver", "Bronze", and "Tungsten". Someone told me the group 1 sets are the "Chinese sets". My understanding...

    How to tell the difference between a good, and bad table mechanic.

    Thank you for this very helpful lesson in what to look for. I am in Atlanta and planning a re cover / new cloth service and have NO IDEA how to find a reputable worker. This gives me some clear direction.

    Pool Balls question

    The only variation I have ever seen in the real Centennial balls is the brief period where they made a "TV" set w/ pink 4 / 12 and brown 7/15. I'm hopeful someone here with more experience and history on Brunswick will chime in with more information. Over the years, they have changed the...

    Diamond Ball Washer

    Diamond can charge whatever they wish. It's their product and company. The number of items they sell will determine if the price is relevant to the market. Apparently, at least for now, the price is fair because they can not keep them in stock. If they charged $10,000.00 each for the...

    Done posting on AZB.

    Glenn, we have never met, but your contributions have been helpful to me here. For all of us here, it's important to realize that we will ALL be leaving one day. We never know when, and we will never be back. As such, it is wise to be thoughtful about what we post and how it affects others...

    Anyone tried this new game?

    The part about the opponent choosing the most difficult shot seems too advanced for most players. This limits interest in play to much more experienced and skilled players only. Take that rule out and it may be a fun family type game. I'm always looking for ways to make the table more FUN for...

    Back to Pyro vs. V10?

    I see the Pyro also cake a bit and occasionally see a spot of it on the cue ball. It comes off easily, and I agree it's less messy on the table, but I'm not a fan of a $20.00 piece of chalk. When it's used up (in a few years :-) ) will not buy more.

    'Vision Center' by Beeler...

    Yes. Watched every second. It just didn't help me. I did the same thing looking down the rail along the cloth line. I felt like it was telling me more of what I SHOULD be doing rather than what I AM doing. What I mean by that, is that I couldn't really tell what I would have done naturally...

    'Vision Center' by Beeler...

    This video talks about his concept of vision center but it doesn't really teach you how to FIND your center. He references the mirror trainer he sells and I see that would work. Personally I think he is among the best living Billiards instructors but this particular video didn't help me much.

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Yes. "New Old Stock". That set hasn't been made in quite a few years. To find a new unused set is quite a find!

    Poll: Pool Ball Cleaning

    Honestly, this depends on how they are cleaned. The alcohol / Aramith mixture leaves the balls more "squeaky clean" than Aramith alone and they actually are very clean, but throw quite a bit more. Dr. Dave did a really good video on throw impact of various cleaning methods. His video showed...

    Cues As Investments

    Collect any "thing" that interests you for the sake of your enjoyment. If you want an investment, you go to a fee only financial advisor. The only "investment value" of collectable items like pool cues is the value you ascribe to them to keep your spouse from smacking you in the head with a...

    The REAL Cost of CF Shafts

    But haven't CF shafts been out for quite a while? I guess my question is from my recent purchase of my J. Flowers cue w CF shaft and nice inlay for less than just the cost of the shaft alone from Viking where I was going to have one fitted to my current cue. I would have PREFERRED that option...
