The missus can (sometimes) tolerate me breaking with one of my house cues I keep around for friends when they come over, but I am worried that if I get a proper break cue with a phenolic tip it will be much louder. Can those of you with break cues please let me know? I play at home, not in a...

The mechanic who installed my table disappeared and isn't returning messages. So I can't ask him to come by and re-level the table. (may have been settling or faulty shims under slate edge). Are there any recommendations for mechanics in the NYC area who would be willing to level only (no...

Paid a mechanic $500 to install my table a few months ago (no move, just install/level). He said he does a one-year guarantee on the level. A few months later there are some areas where the table is definitely not level. Probably floor settling a bit. We are scheduling time for him to come back...

https://streamja.com/7ay3R Got this Brunswick GC1 installed three months ago by a reputable mechanic. I've been noticing some weird roll issues. Finally tried to test it using the three-frozen ball method to avoid any english. What is throwing me off is that the uneven-ness is super obvious...

I bought it, realized I don't need it since I vacuum my table. Amazon doesn't take returns so I am selling.

I posted recently about not hitting it straight consistently enough and was told that video analysis is the best bet. Here is my video from two angles. Just from looking at this I see a few minor things - not sure if they are problems: Dropping the elbow a bit. Follow-through could be longer...

1) It isn't eye dominance. I know this because I line up a straight shot, I know where to aim, and after I hit the cue ball I can immediately see that it is not traveling toward the center of the OB but rather on line to hit the OB left-of-center, for example. In other words, I know where to...

I just got a table in August with new Proform worsted wool cloth, which is supposedly pretty good although not Simonis. Three months in and I've noticing quite a few burn marks (light spots) on the fabric. I tried cleaning with a vacuum and damp cloth but no luck in getting rid of them. Is...

Half the fun of having my own table is less fuss to play. Is there really any benefit of taking apart my cue and storing it in a case after every play at home? Can I just keep it permanently in upright position in the wall rack at home next to my table? Assuming that will be fine but want to get...

1) Can anyone recommend a handheld vacuum that won't pull cloth? So much info in previous threads that my head is spinning. I don't want a Shop Vac, I want something small. Links appreciated. 2) Can I use a Simonis X1 on ProLine ProForm worsted wool cloth? I know Simonis says to just use with...

Has anyone had this? After even an hour of playing, I get joint pain in the base of my thumb. I think from the pressure of pushing my thumb against my index finger to form the open bridge slot for the cue. It doesn't really hurt while I'm playing but rather it lasts for days after. I got this...

Need to install a Brunswick Gold Crown 1. I have all the parts, it is just disassembled. Anyone reputable in the NYC area? Thanks.

Anyone have one for sale? Edit: Looking for brown for a 9 footer.

I am buying a GC1, it comes with standard pockets and original Monarch rubber, which I think are pretty wide (4.75-5)? I am relatively new to the game and not good by any means - probably an APA 4/5. Does it make sense to stick with these pockets for a few years until I get better and then try...

How "risky" is it to move an already disassembled pool table without a professional? Not talking about disassembling (would have pro). Not talking about assembling (would have pro). Literally pick up disassembled table, put into a U Haul, drive 2 hours, unload into home, and then have a pro...

Has anyone owned a pool table on hardwood WITHOUT a giant rug that extends 5 feet beyond the table in every direction? If so, what has been your experience with floor damage from cue/object balls that inadvertently fly off the table? My table will be in the middle of a large room and not sure...

Hi - did you end up ever getting the iron supports and how hard did you find it to install?

I want to refinish them to copper - the metal castings at the pockets and on the round feet. Can I do this myself? Does it require taking apart the entire table to do it or can it be done while the table is still assembled? Would you recommend a pro?

Or is 40-48" good enough? There is a difference between ideal and good enough, and I am trying to understand where that line is. Thanks
