    balls

    Remove old glue?

    if the slate has a grainy feel to it as you move your palm across the surface then it should be fine finished. if you leave it grainy it will play slower then if it were smoothed out. i just used a ryobi palm sander with 400 grit. dont put any real pressure to it. just move it in long oval...

    Intentional double hit

    if i follow your thoughts here let me say this - first you say there is a ball so deep in the pocket it cant be taken out, next you say the person intentionally fouled by double hitting the cue, and the foul keeps you from making your hole ball. another poster says to intentionally foul (i...

    A technical checklist for shooting over balls.

    to me the main key here is to keep from putting inadvertant masse (curve) into the shot. depending on how steep you are over the ball will make a difference on getting a solid straight hit on the cue and avoiding unwanted curve. so basically i agree with the short stroking guy but not a...

    8 Ball do or die shot from tonight.

    amend my three shots: 1. there must be enough space btween the 3/5 for this to work, if your not exprerienced with this type of shot then it would be difficult 2. the umbrella behind the three is nearly a sure thing, much more likely then your bank 3. there will be no collision with cue - 8...

    8 Ball do or die shot from tonight.

    there are three much more likely shots: 1. shoot the eight right into the 3 - 5 stiking the 3 first, it will carom off the five into the hole. if this is exactly how they lay there will be no kiss on the three 2. umbrella shot, hitting the rail first behind the 3 3. cross bank to the...

    1916 Brunswick Madison 4 1/2 x 9 with Eureka Convertible Rails

    my antique brunswick regina (oversize eight) was the same: all matched serial numbers; and single numbers on the rails to match the ends during set-up. everything was tight. after i was done setting it up it was sturdy as a elephant and level as a well laid slab. the rails were all match play...

    1916 Brunswick Madison 4 1/2 x 9 with Eureka Convertible Rails

    if he'd trade you even for a top of the line diamond for your whole table and all it'd be worth it. the madison is a good table, but any real antique value is only attainable by you if you find a buyer who wants that model for your price. so other than saying "hey, i have an antique brunwick"...
