    Brunswick Prestige

    Just found an oak Brunswick Prestige in perfect condition for $500. I really didn't need another pool table, but this will be a nice upgrade for me. It's just been sitting collecting dust for 25 years. From what I've read they play nice. Pretty stoked. What is 8' Pro size?

    LF: Valley Quik Poke Machine

    Long shot, but maybe someone knows of a room owner that has one collecting dust somewhere? Fun little gambling game from the early 90's. Quick Poke in case someone searches for that.

    Thomas Hornback Gator

    It might be a little too pretty for me, but wow what a case. My babies seem right at home.

    Who made this case?

    I'm guessing import. I thought it looked well-built and well-used and that's what I was looking for. I like the character a daily-use case gets over the years.

    I don't like to practice.

    I cannot sit alone in my basement and run drills. It's just terribly boring. I just want to play the game. I'm the same way with golf. Anything more than a warmup on the driving range bores me. The closest I come to practice is playing the ghost, and I rarely do that. Sometimes I will...

    Broke and ran my first five-pack today.

    Eight ball. I had never even got four before. I'd got three and come close to four dozens of times and even a couple times just in the last week but always found a wall. Broke dry the sixth rack but won and then broke and ran the seventh. Cool thing about it was that I went down to the pool...

    Rare 80's Joss

    Nick Varner said he had this cue made around 1985. It has two shafts, both with dense growth rings and ivory ferrules. They both have Joss in white letters engraved in the collars. I measured both below the ferrule at 12.95mm. I used only one of them for a couple of months, so only one is as...

    Shane said before the match that Corey wouldn't...

    Make it to 70. Boy, was he wrong.

    WTS or Trade - New, Unhit Universal Smartshaft LS

    I had a problem with the ferrule on my universal shaft and had to have my dealer send it in to get replaced. They replaced the whole thing rather than repairing it, so it's brand new from the factory and unhit with a moori medium. Right now you can choose either a 5/16"-14 piloted or 5/16" 14...

    Help me choose some wood for a cue

    It's going to be a wrapless cue and I think I've decided on the piece of quilted and spalted maple at the top for the handle. I kind of wish that little bit of spalting wasn't there, just because the quilting is so fantastic. I think it's unique, but I think others might see it as a flaw...

    Pool on ESPN yesterday

    I didn't even know it was to be playing. After I mowed my lawn I was stopping around at a couple of pool halls looking for a game and strolled into the place downtown about 10 minutes before the match started and plopped down at the bar right next to who else but Shane Van Boening. It was cool...

    And now for something completely different: Human Teeth Inlays?

    That's right. :eek: That damned toothfairy wouldn't take a dozen or so of my baby teeth and I'd like incorportate them into a custom cue design. There's probably not a whole lot of usable material since they are so small and many of them have fillings. I was thinking of maybe using them to...

    ?'s Rails too high and then...squaring rails

    I've been building a pool table. I found this place while setting out to answer a few questions about it. Thanks for your help on that and all of the time that you have spent putting answers on here to questions you probably find mundane and trivial. It's helped me a bunch. I think for the...
