No, I just got a brand new 10’ pro am from Diamond, and wanted to know how to keep it clean. Our old Gold Crown was re clothed about 2 years ago with Simonis and we didn’t keep the best care of it. Vacuumed maybe once every 2 months and you can see and feel all the chalk in the cloth now that...

I emailed simonis and asked them how to care for their cloth and this was their response… when they say Woolite , are they referring to the laundry detergent ? Never allow chalking over the table. Hand chalk should be used to a minimum. Brush the table ( always use a natural hair billiard...

Did you get your table from Diamond directly?

I started 'hanging' my arm loosely from the elbow when getting into my stance, which helped get a hinge action that gave a straight cue delivery. Where did you go to learn the sports psychology aspect of the game? I’ve been wanting to research a little about this. I feel once you have a solid...

I too have taken lessons from Mark. I always played maybe once a week with my father in law and an old farmer on sundays. I eventually joined a league team and sought out lessons from Mark Wilson. I took his fundamental training home, worked hard on it. After working on my stroke and getting...

I posted a topic awhile ago wondering if I had real Simonis. My table didn’t pass the black light test. I had a guy out of Indianapolis named Randy come recover our table, supposedly he was the Gold Crown expert. We told him we wanted simonis and just assumed that was what he put on. But I...

Thanks for the input, we mainly play 9 ball. The cloth has quite a bit of wear on it. Does a table play slower the older the cloth is ? The table is in a humidity controlled room. But I think it does play a little slower than it normally did. We probably play 150 games a week on the table per...

I know cleaning condition play a roll, but on average how many games can be played before you should have to change cloth? Btw we have fake simonis cloth. Lol

Just seems childish the way you two let each other under each others skin. Unprofessional, but then again profesional isn’t in either of your portfolios ! 😂😂😂

You two sound like brothers who actually love each other but have more fun hating each other. Kiss and make up already 😘 Hahahaha!!

One thing, simple thing, I’ve have found to help me is don’t try to impress others. Try to play the best you can, like you do at home to please yourself. When you start playing for yourself, impressing others will naturally occur. Just something that has helped me, hope it helps you as well.

I’m pretty sure my cloth isn’t simonis, what do you think they put down when they don’t put simonis ? Also why wouldn’t they put down simonis when I requested it? Can they get another cloth cheaper and make a little more off of me ?

I think they have a good chance. They have looked pretty good except one match they got lucky a few times

Looking forward to seeing Appleton and boys take the trophy at World Cup of pool. Even though I’m an American, I’d like to see these “old timers” win ! How bout you guys ?

So everyone has there ideas on how to fix pool. But here is some of mine. Safety's have to go. I get so bored seeing a safety battle between pros and such so they need to go. Every shot you need to make a ball or attempt to make a ball. Ball in hand has to go. The rule should be if a foul occurs...

Well I guess I got ripped off

Heard in league the other day that true simonis cloth has a logo appear when you apply a black light to the cloth? Is there any truth to this ?

Anyone know the pin size of this ? It’s a Schon from the 80’s

I am in the process of waiting on my 10 ft Pro/am from Diamond. They called me and told me the rosewood dymalux material they have been getting from their supplier has been coming with hair line cracks in the material. They told me they would cut me a hell of a deal if I still wanted the...

Do you guys find it easier to dart or to shoot underhand (traditional method) ? I have only tried underhand with a full cue and that was not a good experience for myself. Hope the lighter jump cue will be a nice addition to the bag
