Pardon?

Thanks, yes, I found the video, haven't watched the whole thing through yet. He uses the glue method on thebbed, whereas I will be stapling; but regardless, lots of good info and technique in there.

@bradsh98 BTW, I wasn't referring to you or soliciting you to write a couple of paragraphs in my comments above, I was simply speculating.

First, it's not the cheapest cloth on can buy, but it's certainly much less than Simonis for a comparable worsted wool cloth. It's 80/20 wool/nylon. 860 is 90/10, 760 is 70/30, 860HR is 70/30, for reference. Read this: and this: and this: and this:

Thanks, Geoff. You have always been, and remain a gentleman. I appreciate all of the information and insight you have provided.

I have a couple of swatches for Massé and jump shots. (Never thought of using them for breaks, though.)

You're a jerk.

Oh, please Trent, what are you thinking? I'm going to publish all of your "secrets" and put you out of business or something? BTW, you haven't really shared anything yet.

Thanks.

I'm wondering if the DVDs are worth the expense, given that now I have decided to staple, and I'm only doing one table every five or ten years. :) If I had an outline of how to mark the cloth, and a sequence for stapling I think I'd be all set for the bed. The rails should be simpler, I...

Frame pieces made of exterior plywood. I would be careful. The Brunswick name doesn't mean that much since the offshore production and cost cutting moves.

Thanks Bob. Just so I understand, you mean line up all fifteen in a row, and then stroke the one ball with the cue; and do this repeatedly without pocketing any? I can try that. They are Brunswick Centennial balls. In what way could the surfaces be screwed up? Thanks, jv

Want to buy or borrow the two Simonis cloth installation DVDs.

Thanks, Trent. If you could give me some info on the stretch index that would be helpful, as well as any other tips on how to install. jv

I wonder if I may please avail myself of the vast knowledge and experience of you ball collecting experts? As I posted previously, I acquired a nice set of Brunswick Centennial balls, and cleaned them up. They looked great! Now, however, after just a little bit of use, they all develop spots...

Dude, punctuation matters. :)

There's no such thing as a Lepro triangle. There's Le Pro, i.e., Le Professional, and there's Triangle. Both made by Tweeten, and different. Tweeten tips

No, just learn to care for the tip. Also, you should be able to order the Schmelke with any of a large variety of tips. I got mine through Billiard Warehouse, who have the best prices, and best website for these. Here's a screen shot of the tip options: See: R040 Cocobolo Sneaky Pete Pool...

Thanks, Bob, but is there a rule set where the breaker must make a ball on the break?
