If the OP sent 50 shipments and had only 1 problem, he was ahead of the commercial percentages, which in my old business could be as high as 4-5% of shipments lost, damaged, or mis-delivered. This particular package was probably run over by a forklift, or an Abrams tank. Maybe twice, forward...

The OP's cue is definitely a McDermott D4. I have one like it except mine is stained a natural, almost clear finish instead of that ugly blue stain. I'll take a light or natural looking stain any day over those colors that look more like paint. Be aware that some time in the past McDermott...

Agree on that, Tor Lowry's videos are simply the best. The Tor Lowry Version III video recently released will take a player to a new level once those skills are studied and practiced. He calls the series "Secrets Revealed" and that's a good title if you come from the old days like me where you...

14.1 Rules Question, from The Twilight Zone, Friday, October 13, 1961 (just 18 days after The Hustler was released on September 25, 1961) see the episode here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/440810 Do the rules of 14.1 allow a player to shoot at the last ball of the last rack, without racking up...

You can see British snooker pros who play great pocket billiards on really big tables, pushing balls around using those oddly tapered skinny ash shafts with brass ferrules and a smidgeon of knobby leather at the front. But that does not mean LD shafts have no value... A person should use...

want freebie chalkie please list me too, many thanks 2 U.

CT Eeuwwww achooo... Sorry, I sneezed, what was the topic? Not aiming, I hope! The Hokey Pokey Strokee Song You put your right foot in You take your right foot out You put your right foot in And you shake it all about You do the hokey pokey And you turn yourself around That's what...

I think I understand their desires better now, and I can see why they don't want to look into the purchase as a pool player might look at it. Interesting situation - some seller will profit from it, and a pool table will sit unused most of the time, and all parties will be satisfied. Best of...

It sounds like they really just want a piece of furniture to match the window seat or some such existing feature, and it being a pool table is a slightly distasteful secondary requirement. I suggest they should buy a new (or tournament used) Diamond 7-foot Pro Am, perhaps even on the "No...

I think the shooting sports are even less of a paying sport than pool. Male and female shooters at the top of their sport can enjoy the prestige of winning an Olympic medal, in some of the shooting disciplines at least, so that is something no pool player can aspire to in this era. In shooting...

Ozzie Osbourne Reynolds of CSI Ozzie Osbourne Reynolds of CSI makes their case for using 7 foot tables, and his points seem to me to be good ones. Unfortunately, the interviewer is not so good, barely letting his inteviewee get a word in edgewise, but in any case Mr. Reynolds responses start...

The promoters of the "2015 US OPEN 10-BALL & 8-BALL CHAMPIONSHIPS" have both the right and responsibility to arrange the event, including the tables, in a manner that they feel will allow a profit (or at least a sustainable loss), both in this year and in the years to follow. Oh, but don't call...

I found this site informative about the history of cushions as well as steel block rails. It appears steel block is both more costly to build and also more difficult to service. http://www.snookerheritage.co.uk/normans-lectures/billiard-table-cushions/

What lenses would you need, any idea yet? Probably some of us have Nikon lenses that could be loaned out as needed. The only way to make sure this happens is to make it a for-profit venture. In that case, an extra $6 - $7K dollars for new equipment is a fairly small business investment, and...

I am surprised more top pros do not attempt to get a Snooker card, or whatever they call it. It opens up a whole new field of employment and income. Apparently Corey failed a prior attempt, which puts him in league with hundreds of first rate golfers who have failed golf's q school. Those...

O..M...G.... he's using a touch of inside, matey! I do something similar, mostly on the thinner cuts, but I doubt if it is enough to cause much squirt using the shaft I have. What that bit of inside does is give me a better aim line when making thin cuts. For some reason, my eye and aim and...

I am not sure if actual numbers back this up, but I can go with the feeling. The local Wednesday night 8-ball tournament is played using 'bar' rules, meaning no rules.. Oh, yeh, scratch on the 8 ball is a loser, 8 on the break is a winner, and the CB goes to the kitchen after a scratch...

Correction - need end slate Correction - it is the end slate I need rather than the center slate. Please forgive my ignorance about this, but I did go back to check and realized the difference. My broken end slate can't be repaired because it is missing the entire area around one corner...
