    What is the best pool table?

    Depends what you mean by "best". Valley may be the best value. Your question is a lot like, "What is the best car?". It depends.

    Dynasphere Bronze balls......$100

    The higher end stuff is not made the same though. It's the same base material, but the machining added to each step adds a ton of time needed. It's not only the time though. Each machining process introduces an area where a mistake may be made, and the whole ball needs to be scrapped. The cost...

    Dynasphere Bronze balls......$100

    For those wondering why Dynasphere would use the same quality resin in all their balls: The way they're doing it seems to be producing a lot of raving fanboys, like Rocket and myself. I'm the same way with Nokian winter tires. If you build a product that has exceptional value, I'm not shy about...

    Dynasphere Bronze balls......$100

    All Dynasphere balls use the same resin. I got the tungsten set for $70. Same quality as their top tier balls, just lacking in appearance.

    Dynasphere Bronze balls......$100

    I almost pulled the trigger on those before I found the dynasphere tungstens. In my head I kept reading "Yanmeia" as "Buyer's Remorse". There's nothing I hate worse than being suckered, and I just couldn't take the chance. The pics look good, but if I was a scam outfit I'm sure my pics would...

    Dynasphere Bronze balls......$100

    Aesthetics aside, the dynaspheres are every bit as good as the duramith balls, and better than centennials. Granted, they're not the best looking balls, but if all you're looking for is performance they can't be beat for the price. I have hundreds of hours on my set, and I have no complaints...

    Bias with Your Own Team's Playing Order? (long)

    The fairest way to split year end money is to: a) First, repay each player's initial league registration fees then b) Split the remaining money according to nights played. Each night is worth one share. Divide the prize money by total number of shares, and pay accordingly. Set it up this way...

    Bias with Your Own Team's Playing Order? (long)

    I would never play on a team with you.

    Almost as bad as hitting your knee on the coin slot... less painful though!

    I knew what the clip was going to be before I clicked it. I usually play in my jammas when I'm at home. The corner caps love eating pajama strings.

    Best balls

    Any of Aramith's duramith balls, or any dynasphere balls are at the top rung. Can't go wrong with either. Everything else (including centennials) is a rung down at least.

    If you have more than one playing cue, do you alternate? or how do you choose.

    I haven't been doing my part for the cue industry. I can't imagine having more than one shooter on the go. In the last 25 years I've switched shooters only once, although I did switch to a carbon shaft this Christmas. I guess I figure there's no point changing once you find something you like...

    Weather check............

    Currently a balmy -4f (-20c). I say balmy because we're coming off of a week that's hit -40 (same in F or C) several times. Oh Canada!

    Sanitizing your Cue - Is Alcohol enough no immune system

    Uh-huh. I'm very high risk. I have lung damage from lung cancer a few years ago, and had a heart attack in 2019. I don't wipe my cues down with alcohol to reduce my risk, I STAY THE F*** AT HOME! I've probably been in 4 buildings other than my house since the start of 2020. You're just playing...

    What Shafts Draw better ???

    Same. I'm sure it is all just a difference in attitude, but since I switched I'm drawing better than ever, even though I was already fairly strong. I'm also playing the best pool of my life, so not sure if the shaft has anything to do with it.

    First Cue Help $100-$200

    I would seriously consider buying used, you get much more cue for your buck that way. There's probably a facebook group for pool players in your area, I'd make a post there asking for people to post the cues they have that they'd be willing to part with for $200 or less. Wait a week or so for...

    LD and Power

    Because I tested them. Edit: To clarify, before I committed to buying carbon, I tested to see how much more or less deflection my buddy's Jacoby had than my Lucasi. I didn't want to get one if it wasn't similar to what I was used to. I repeatedly shot max english towards the same spot on the...

    LD and Power

    I'll drop my $0.02 in here. I have 2 LD shafts, a lucasi slim, and a Jacoby black. They play very similarly. They have a very similar tip size, and similar tip hardness (the tip on the Lucasi is actually a tad harder). They have an identical (IDENTICAL) amount of deflection. They have a very...

    1970's/80's Brunswick Tables - Can be the Base Frame be Disassembled???

    This is the way I'd read it.

    Room sizes

    Hm. Out of the box thinking for sure. If you could make the rails stable enough I could see it working, like use actual train track rail and machined wheels with heavy duty bearings. Might be a bit irritating to have to roll the table every time you're stuck, but definitely better than having to...

    Operation: Bar Box Rescue

    I built a drawer to fill that hole for all my odds and ends. Very handy for storing misc pool junk.
