Hey all, I am moving my 9ft pro-am from my fathers auto shop a block down the street to the pool hall. Was wondering if anyone remotely near me might have a dolly I could rent. Located in Lena IL, 61048 Thanks, Matt

BCA does not appear to have an Illinois State Tournament. I'm looking for an organization to sanction league with so my customers can attend a state tournament. What organization would you recommend and why? - Looking for opinions from pool players who have attended a state tournament in...

It's been 6 long years hunting down 9ft Diamonds, saving money for a down-payment and looking at building after building. Yesterday morning things turned a corner with my purchase of the old Lena Fire Station. Of all the buildings I've agonized over this one makes the most sense - Men's and...

I have 36 pockets with broken attaching nuts. My idea is to drill through the plastic and use T-nuts like in the pic. Does anyone have a better way? Also what kind of glue for attaching the leather?

For the past 6 years I've been working towards opening a pool hall. The tunnel has been a long one but I can see the light. With luck there will be 3-4 pool leagues a week and at least one tournament. Also, dart league and the reason for this thread - Texas Holdem League. Now comes my dilemma...

Not 100% on the id Pics in the mechanic section Slate, legs, rails, pocket irons - NO FRAME/BODY Slate in poor condition Lena IL, 61048 http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=282383

A friend was cleaning out a basement and there are parts of an antique Brunswick. Hoping someone can help with an identification. If anyone out there can use these let me know. There is no frame - only legs, slate, rails and irons Tops of the rails have been sanded deeply to the point that the...

What are the differences between 5x10 Anniversary Snooker tables and pool tables? I think the rails are a different thickness with a different cushion profile and the corner/side castings are different. Is there anything else? Are their any differences in the aprons? The aluminum lower...

Have they been around forever or is it a trend from the last 20 years? My uncle graduated HS in early 60's Chicago and shot pool all over the city even making trips to the Johnston City tournys. When I purchased my pro pocket Pro Am in 2005 he was shocked when I showed him the pockets and I...

I will be putting in an order with O'Neil soon. 1x2 and 2x4 cases If you would like one of their larger dealer cases let me know what you need and I can add it to the order. Keep in mind O'Neil is a small company and it takes some time to get orders filled.

My friend Dan O'Brien (Dano) from Dixon IL has just started adding inlays to his cues and I wanted to take a minute to share one. It's extra cool because he designed/built the machine himself. I have a movie file of the machine in action but I'm not sure how to post it yet.

Curious what the general opinion of the average AZ member is. What do you honestly think is a better test of a World Champion in a tournament setting? Not talking about these race to 100 matches that are going at the moment. Im talking about a tournament similar to the U.S. Open 9 Ball yearly...

What do you honestly think is a better test of a World Champion in a tournament setting? Not talking about theses race to 100 matches that are all the rave at the moment. Im talking about a tournament similar to the U.S. Open 9 Ball yearly event. I just don’t think that a race to 11 9ball gets...

My uncle came to visit this Christmas and brought his Adam cue. A friend of mine has become obsessed with it and would like to own one. If anyone has the model in the pics and would like to sell let me know.

I work on mostly valley bar boxes so my Gold Crown experience is limited. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question... Is it possible to use the complete ball return from a GCIII on a GCIV without large modifications? Also are the plastic drop pockets interchangeable between the III and IV? or do...

Dan O'Brien is a cue maker from Dixon IL. He does a great job and is a heck of a nice guy to boot. I just wanted to take a min to show off Dan's latest creation - Tulipwood and Birdseye with an Ivory Ferrule and Radial Pin:

I think I remember seeing one of these posted here lately but I couldnt find it. Im making a bid to recover it and replace the cushions. It looks like under size slate with the rails attaching to a frame behind the aprons and a complicated ball return. Does anyone know what the cushion profile...

Hello, I attended Gleans class in Alsip and learned a lot. Since then I helped a friend recover two Dynamo tables he has at his house for practice. Last night I replaced bed cloth (no rails yet) on the worst table at my home league bar. I was very happy with the results, I just need to know what...
