Well when you are paying to play in the tournament the fun factor has a limit. When a game gets halted in the middle of a match. That’s some bs. No one paying should have to wait 20 minutes for their opponent to shoot. Now if the tournament was free 2 play or if the winning where going to a...

Three of us. My buddy that came with me felt the same and another guy that’s never been there said he wasn’t coming back. All the others were regulars there and friends with them. The guy running the tournament and his buddy were shooting pretty damn good on those sh*tty tables. They knew how to...

Yessir. I know several people who use “body English” it’s only a good time to watch them shoot lol.

Yeah after that whole 20 minutes bs, I finished that match and left. That was only my second match. I wasn’t about to sit around and figure out how the rest was going to go. I’ll stick to my other two weekly spots. They actually have good equipment and also they run damn good tourneys. Honestly...

If I’m paying more then just quarters for the game and playing for money, there’s a limit to how much is just for fun. Especially when everything was sh*t like that. There is no such thing as fun when all three tables played like garbage. There was someone there that definitely gave me a good...

Went to a local place today to shoot in a tournament. First time being there. Never ever again. Waste of $10. For one the tables were horrible. The rails had indentations, one rail was loose. Went to shoot a slow roll ball into corner pocket for position on my next shot, the ball went towards...

your bridge hand is an extremely valuable part of aiming. it’s what keeps your cue in line with where you’re trying to shoot. So your back hand, pivot point of bridge(point where cue rests), cue and tip should all be linear to your aim point through cue ball to object ball.

What are T rails? Sorry I’m not to versed in pool table part lingo. If you’re meaning the rails shaped like a T, then yes they are. They attach to the side of the slate with an insert inside of the slate.

It’s not falling to deaf ears. I mean I really only asked because I was curious, as to the table, I think you guys have the wrong opinions as to why I want to do this. I Don’t need a table that’s going to make me a better player. I’m content with my level of play. I want a table thats hard, fun...

No, you must have missed the reasoning as to why I bought the table. I could care less about having a better table. If I wanted to do that, I would have just dropped $7000 and bought a diamond. I could have. I didn’t want to. I wanted to mess around and completely rebuild this table into my own...

That’s what I’m shooting for is this size. Mine can fit two balls with a small space in between them. The curved pockets was just a aesthetic preference. I like the loon of them. So when I asked I just wanted to know the difference. I see a lot of Asian tables have them even on their 8 ball and...

When he closed his eyes to hear the sound of the lathe, thumbs up!!

false, tighter pockets will make me a better player. Practicing on a table with tighter pockets will make me more precise. Becoming more precise with my shot making transfers to a higher level of play. Practicing on a harder table makes adjustments to easy tables a lot easier. Which also...

I’m not worried about cb control as I got that down. I want tighter pocket compared to what I have, to make precision shooting better. Thats why I want to tighten up the pockets. I’ve played on a 9’ with tight pockets and had a lot of fun. The more of a challenge the better in my eyes. But going...

I’m planning on doing something like this photo.

The picture that I have right now is sticker bombed to the gills lol. I let my niece and nephews put a ungodly amount of stickers on the table a couple weeks ago when they came and stayed with me. I’m replacing all of the rails and stuff anyways. But the story that I received from the guy who...

Yeah I’m only wanting to do the curved pockets from and aesthetically pleasing view. I really do think they look better. When I make the rails I’m planning on making the pockets tighter anyways. I’ve always thought the best would be make the at home table play as hard as can be so when I go out...

Yes, I was under the impression that you could do so. Like I said I don’t really know much on those lines of rails and tables but I’m willing to learn.

It’s a Frankenstein table, it was made from three different pool tables. I purchased it from an old man that built tables in the 60’s. Paid $100 for it. Slates and slate bed were in perfect condition. True 8’. I’m going the route of building new rails and doing rounded corners bc I feel like it...

I’m a wood worker by hobby and was a machinist for years. I don’t know a thing about pool tables. But I’m going to record the data before hand. And do the pockets this way anyways lol. If it doesn’t work. I’ll make my own rails and make it work.
