    When to replace cloth

    I have a great table mechanic, and i play every day on my diamond 7 footer. I keep my cloth in great condition, cleaning once a week, wiping down with a hot towel, and clean spray. I like to replace once a year. 240 to replace the cloth, and 275 for new cloth. 500 bucks a year is good for me to...

    When age bites

    66 today. Play 2-3 hours every day at home. I have gone from getting 1 break and run a week, to now getting 2 or 3 each practice session. Everything is clicking for me all of a sudden. I’m very happy, and not stopping now.

    Would love to buy a diamond pool ball cleaner

    Well i went ahead and bought a ball washer today, after reading all of the comments. I bought a DR BILLIARDS BALL POLISHER on eBay, for 271.00. Reviews were good, you tube video was good, money back guarantee. He diamond was just too much money. Can’t wait to have clean balls every practice...

    Would love to buy a diamond pool ball cleaner

    I would love to buy a diamond ball cleaner, as think they look good, do a great job. But for 500 dollars, i don’t know. Now, i just timed myself cleaning my balls with pool ball cleaner/polish, and it took me about 10 minutes. First wipe each ball with a nice amount of polish on a wet micro...

    Bought the new plastic template to line up pool balls for practice

    I know, it’s a little hokey, i was on the fence on buying this, as its was 29 dollars. But i went ahead and ordered it anyway. The template came today, and it’s kind of cool. Just 1/4 clear plastic, machined really nice. Has 9 slots to set the object balls. After setting the 9 balls, you just...

    20 dollar chalk?? What’s the world coming to?

    Been using masters chalk in either blue or green. Just got green simiones 860 hr, and decided after reading some reviews About Taom v10 chalk, to buy one piece. I have to say, this is the best chalk i have ever used. No dust, no marks on the cloth, only have to chalk maybe every 3-4 shots...

    My predator cloth only lasted 4.5 months

    Yes, I have done that, walk away for a while, and then come back to figure things out. I think putting down the thin round plate size target i have cut is really going to help with ball marks on low cue tip draw shots. Can i draw the cue ball today? Like a pro, i have worked on this shot so...

    My predator cloth only lasted 4.5 months

    Well i know that i was a big problem with my draw shots. But i think i have solved that problem with putting a thin sheet of material down when I’m going to shoot my draw shots, (like a break shot pad) so the new cloth will be protected from my cue tip. I have used oxy-clean in a bowl of warm...

    My predator cloth only lasted 4.5 months

    Because I couldn’t get any simiones cloth, i decided to go With PREDATOR CLOTH, in blue. My mechanic just a great job installing the cloth, and every thing was good in the beginning. Slick, fast, i was pretty happy. I play/practice 3 hours a day, everyday, give or take a hour or two. Which Comes...

    Senior center by me has three diamond tables, open all day for free

    Lolll. I asked the young girl at the front desk: how much weight do these old timers ask for???? She said how much do they weigh?????????? I laughed and said no do they need a spot for the game. She had no clue what i was talking about. Finally i explained it to her, and she laughed and yes...

    I could be really really good, if I followed a pre shot routine 😢

    I see your point Fran. 5 years of 3 hours a day for 5 years doesn't guarantee anything. Compared to a pro. So what your saying is pretty much like jack Nicholson said in The movie THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS. so for me, at age almost 66, this is as good as It’s going to get for me. I can accept...

    I could be really really good, if I followed a pre shot routine 😢

    Of course i am Exaggerating a bit. But I’m very happy with my game after 5 years. Usually just some little speed control, too slow or too fast to past the next position. my misses i blame on my fat fingers, sometimes small movement on my bridge hand. I have always had movement, but with getting...

    I could be really really good, if I followed a pre shot routine 😢

    Well that was probably just a guess. But i do take some time. I know my biggest problem is that i dont play anyone, ever. I just play at home, alone. Don’t like bars to much, dont like to be out late too much, have not found a sparring partner yet. I went to a senior 8 ball tourament last month...
