    There is no mechanic on this forum that looks this good or works this fast!

    I caught that one too when I watched the video. Many years ago, I had an old Brunswick recovered. The mechanic used a pinkish plaster on the slate seams. After playing for a while, small pieces of the plaster under the cloth were noticed. Really bothered me for a while. I sold the table...

    Rip-off Report on Glen, The Real King Cobra

    I'm a big fan of The Real King Cobra and enjoy reading his posts. From the pictures he posts, his work looks perfection (and satisfied customers posts confirm that). I've read this whole thread hoping to see a response from Glen. Months overdue with no response to messages and phone calls is...

    A recommendation for a ball polish...

    I use only Aramith ball cleaner. I don't want wax on my pool balls or transferred onto the Simonis 860HR cloth covering my table. Aramith manufactures the finest pool balls so why not use a product they developed to clean and preserve them.

    Pool on TV

    There hasn't been a televised TV match on ESPN for quite a while now. Any information why and will their be any future matches televised? Are low ratings the reason?

    How are Player Cues? I purchased a Player 508 cue last night, with a Joe Porper case?

    Bottom line is what you think of it and how you feel shooting with it. I have two main cues I use, one is a Schon CX-06 and the other is a Dale Perry from e-Bay. Now I know that the Schon is a better made cue, but both cues play well and I feel very comfortable playing with either one. I...

    got myself a 93" valley table that needs work

    I put Ridgeback rails on my Global bar box and think they're great. Excellent rebound action and they're reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor and get Ridgeback rails.

    How would one install a red fiber pad by hand?

    I've never seen one. Did a search and saw some photo's of ferrules with the red pad. They look very nice. I'd like to try one. Where do you order them and can you just buy one or two?

    tips on tip tools?

    I was doing tips by hand for a while and saw a thread on this website about a shaft turner - basically just an electric drill fitted with a cane tip bought from Walgreen's. Well, I built one and used it for about a year. I held the drill in a vise mounted on my work bench. After a while I...

    Emily Duddy VS Ine Helvik match Amway Cup March 2013

    Emily, thanks for posting. You play a good game. Deadly on most shots. You take your time and plan the next shot. Good rhytym. I think you may want to practice your cut shots. You missed several game winning cuts (first game on the 9 ball). The cut shot you made on the 7 ball in the 3rd...

    Valley 93 cushion question?

    I installed Ridgeback rails on my Global bar box. They make playing on that table so enjoyable. Great rails.

    Going in for surgery in 12 hours.

    Best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Never had a hernia operation but, as you mentioned, any surgery is serious. Hope the food in the hospital is good.

    Limit to amount of decreasing shaft diameter

    If it were mine I would put a water buffalo hard tip on it and use it for a break cue.

    I would like to know.

    Jim has built some fine cues is my understanding. I've had Jim install leather wraps on 3 of my cues at various times and he has done an great job. I believe Jim has had health problems recently and because of that, has had some problems here on the Forum with job completion. Can't speak of...
