    How to pronounce DAZN and Batgirl

    What's the complaint with DAZN's stream?? It's great on my end... My only complaint is with the DAZN app on a smartTV. Last night I tried catching up on Day 2, but when I selected "Day 2", I kept getting the message, "Catch up is not ready" However, I was able to watch it on my PC just fine...

    Which Balls am I?

    In the rules I've heard, you/your opponent MUST answer honestly. This leads me to believe it WOULD NOT be a foul.

    Almost enough to make me stop watching. Yes, that bad.

    I got reminded yesterday why i quit playing tournaments

    I played in my first tournament back in May, a qualifier, and won. Played my first Regional last month, and next April will be playing in Vegas for the first time! ;) You came this far. As that dictatorship-supporting shoe company say's, "Just do it!"

    Cyclops hyperion balls arrived today!

    Purely subjective but I like the colors. They show up better watching on a screen. The darker, traditional colors don't differentiate nearly as well under a questionable internet connection, camera equipment, angle, etc. My wife is a fan of sets that include a pink ball. My own personal study...

    Billiard collectibles

    Afternoon, Here's a couple cool pool related advertising pencils. The "8 ball" pencil was made in USA by a company named Redipoint. It features marketing for a local company that's long been defunct. I have to believe Redipoint made similar pencils for other companies as well? The Bruns pencil...

    Antique dresser walnut

    Nice looking piece and super condition. Regarding value, first thing I would look for is the name of the maker on back, or possibly underneath, noting the quality of the joinery along the way. It looks very nice and solid. Almost too nice to be super old for that matter.

    Yes! I feel like people here have saved me hundreds of $$. At least $500, maybe more. I love these tables and I'm willing to put in the money and effort, but my rational side is saying don't go upside down. Some of the professional restorations out there look phenomenal. I'm capable of amazing...

    Thanks everyone for all input on this! I LOVE these older tables. There's no comparison to their beauty, and like everything else, they don't build'em like they used to! I was planning to make the drive this afternoon to have a better look, and probably buy. However, the seller isn't willing...

    I'm looking at this table not only as a table I can use, but also as an investment. I think the realistic value fully restored is $5000-$6000? I'm very concerned about what's going on with the apron (board under the top rail around outer edge). As mentioned, it doesn't match or look...

    Their asking price is $1500. It's already taken apart, with pictures mapping how it goes back together. The slate is on a pallet (3 pieces), and the base and table is one piece. They have machinery to load on a trailer. "The pool table is 9’ long, the slate is 1” thick with a backer board also...

    2020 US Open 9-ball Championship field full at 256

    ^^^^^ This is a great explanation/ post. ….And so is this. ^^^^^^^ I think of the NFL's "RedZone". Where coverage jumps to games where a team is inside the redzone.

    The responses are much appreciated. I, too, agree with setting-up and playing for awhile before refinishing /restoring. One that note, I can refinish wood with the best of them. I'm not talking shabby-chic paint job. I'm talking about wood repairs, custom stains, toners, and a vast array of...

    Thanks for the responses. Agree on its beauty! Point taken on the quoted sentiment, however, I'm working within a budget and do not have unlimited funds. Actually, at this point I'm trying to determine if diving into this is even feasible for me from a cost standpoint...? Thanks again.

    I need some good price estimates for work on this table. Just to have an idea how much I might expect to pay for: - Setup (not moving) - Bumper and cloth replacement - Any necessary "tweaking" to get play-ability within modern specs How much money is "too much" to invest in this table? Is...
