I had Donnie of SD Billards install new Ridgeback rails on my Global bar box along with Simonis Tournament Blue 860HR. Table plays great.

Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. Without a doubt, this is the best site to get any information that is pool related.

What is the thickness of a layer of Irish Linen wrap? The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking of replacing the Linen wrap with either cork or leather.

I enjoy watching Karen play. She's a great shot maker and a terrific position player. Her fundamentals are perfect. When it's time for a safety play, you can see the wheels turning. She really knows her stuff. Congratulations Karen on being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Well deserved.

Will you be doing this professionally or just your own and perhaps a few friends? If you'll be doing it professionally, there's quite a few cue repair lathes that are available in the $1000 plus or minus $200. If you just want to do your own, then a good start would be a shaft turner which is...

Anyone have an extra 3/8x10 tap they're not using?

When I lived in Kentucky, many years ago, I had a 1928 Brunswick that looked a lot like the one you pictured here. Played great. I may be wrong but I think that if it's set up well and has good rubber, it will play every bit as well as a Gold Crown. By the way, why is it that all pets somehow...

I really liked the Willard shaper - it's cheap, easy to use, and will last forever. I used the dime shaped one for years on my layered tips. About 6 months ago I bought the Last4Ever tip tool sold here on this forum. There's a video on how to use it on his website which is worth viewing...

Does anyone know what happened to Ned Morris? His telephone number has been disconnected and his website is no longer in operation.

I've been playing with the McDermott I-3 (11.75mm tip and European Taper) for about 2 years now and have been more than satisfied with it's performance. The small tip diameter allows me to strike the cue ball with geometric precision when using english. I was fortunate to buy a used one here...

Is Leo the handsome one in the family?

Thanks for posting this great match. Both Earl and Nick at their finest. Love the attire - it adds so much to the ambience. Watching great players in thier youth is so enjoyable.

I've always used Master's Chalk and never had a problem. Although being careful when I chalk my cue, I usually had some chalk on my ring finger after playing a few games. Although satisfied with Master's, I thought I'd try Blue Diamond because I had heard so much about it. I was favorably...

Here's the best advice you'll get - ask this forum who's the best table tech in your area and have him do it. I had SD Billiards do my Global bar box and I've been so happy with it. Do it yourself and if it doesn't come out perfect, every time you play on it you'll regret not having a pro do...

As a matter of fact, I do play in a monthly 8 ball Tournament and I've come in First Place each month for the last 6 months. But you're right in one respect - I don't gamble or play for money. Can't afford to lose. But I play for fun and don't need any extra edge. But I can see your point.

Thanks for all the positive comments about Earl and the great stories. Guapo, you are a lucky son-of-a-gun. Getting some lessons from Earl would be a real delight. When you see him, tell him that he has a lot of fans on AZBilliard website and wish him luck in Germany.

Earl Strickland is my favorite player. I could watch him play all day. Perfect stroke, amazing shot-maker, excellent position player, and he does it ever so quickly. He has given me many hours of enjoyment watching his videos. I haven't heard any news about what Earl is doing in quite a...

My experience has been totally different than most posted here. I have been using Master's Green for years and am totally satisfied with it. After reading so many posts about the Balabushka chalk, I thought I'd give it a spin just to see what all the hullabaloo is about. I spoke to a buddy of...

Here's what I do - hope it's helpful to you: After cleaning the shaft with alcohol and Magic Eraser, I give it two coats of Bowling Alley Wax. After each playing session, I'll give the shaft a quick once over with a strip of Magic Eraser (I cut a piece about 3/4x3/4x4 which fits into my cue...

I am by no means an expert and I can only offer my opinion. Which tip to play with is a very subjective decision. I like the soft tips and play with a Moori soft. I've tried other soft tips and always come back to Moori. I get more "feel" when I play with a hard tip but have problems when...
