I do not have a ball cleaning machine. I had my balls cleaned once at a billiards store that used a machine and I didn't think it was done very good. So when I clean my balls I use some Aramith Ball Cleaner and put a light coat on the balls. Then after I get all the balls coated I take a dry...

I was watching a match last night from the 1999 US Open between Jim Rempe and Francisco Bustamante. Grady Mathews and Mark Wilson were commentating. There was something that I found odd. Maybe it's of no significance, who knows. Anyway, they were playing on Gold Crown IV tables. But the...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/44547.png This is a very tough shot for me. I think I've asked about this shot years ago but I couldn't find the thread. Anyway, anybody have any tips on how to pocket the 1B and draw the CB back for the 2B in the corner? And please, let's assume this is the only...

When did the Sands Regency in Reno and the US Open switch from the Gold Crown table to the Diamond table? And yes, I know at times the Sands Regency tournament was played on the AMF Advantage table. Which, of course, was a Gold Crown copycat. I believe the US Open switched starting in 2001...

As some will recall in a previous thread I was going to drive down to Evansville to the Washington Square Mall and play on their Diamond tables. I wanted to see how they compared to my Gold Crown IV. Well, I finally made it to Evansville today. And what a waste of time. I couldn't have been...

I have a small piece of standard Simonis Green 860. It's very dark. I've used it to practice jumping before but really haven't used it for years. So today I pulled out from under my Gold Crown IV a little storage thing that I keep some stuff in. I hadn't looked at it in probably 3-4 years...

Around what year was it? I assume it was during the 1980s at some point. Just curious. r/DCP

Speaking of pocket size............. They played this match on a GCIII with 5 inch pockets. Grady Mathews mentioned how they were 5 inch pockets. And then he called them tight pockets. I couldn't believe how big they were, almost buckets! Was this the norm for tournaments back around 1990...

I've seen this advertised regarding Diamond tables. I believe what I saw said 4.5" Pro Cut Pockets. What exactly does "Pro Cut Pockets" mean?

Just got done racking and breaking racks of 9-Ball on my Gold Crown IV. I counted and I broke 44 racks and only had three decent chances to run out. I got out once and hosed up the two others. This has been going on for years and years and years. I know you posters are sick and tired of...

It's my understanding the French Lick Resort is renovating a building and going to call it their Billiard and Bowling Pavillion. Just wondering if anybody here has any news regarding this? I believe we have some posters from Indiana here on this Forum so I thought I would ask. It would be...

Just wondering if anybody has or has had in the past two pool tables in their home? As everyone knows I have a Gold Crown IV in my basement. I also have a detached 3-car garage with a 1,000 sq ft living quarters above it that I've rented in the past. However, I'm done with renters. Recent...

Is there a website out there where you can build your own Diamond table? A website where it shows you all the various woods available, cloth colors, etc, etc. I've checked on the Diamond website and I don't see any type of Build Your Own option. r/DCP

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/abaf2.png In this layout would you just draw back - a little low right - for the 5B in the lower right corner? I struggle with this shot. I usually hit it too hard and end up with a bad angle on the 5B. I hope this PNG works. r/DCP

I know this has been debated over the years. Just wondering if owners of Gold Crown tables are still doing it? Or is it a past issue by now? And if they are being diamondized, what exactly is being done to them? The reason I am asking is because I simply don't like the way my Gold Crown IV...

Anybody been reading Efren's posts on Facebook? Assume they are legit? If so what does everyone think?

Is it still out there? I never hear or see of it anymore. And if so, what year was it last updated?

I was in Owensboro yesterday (Tuesday) having some work done on my cues by Chad Carter. Afterwards I stopped in at Rack n'Cue and visited with Nick Varner for awhile. Hadn't been there for 3-4 years and it was good to see him again. I bought some chalk and a new glove while I was there. I...

Is there any place out there where you can go and design your own cue? I am talking about a website where you have access to tons of various inlays, points, diagrams, aesthetics, etc, etc. And can make a cue just exactly like you want. As an example, I am sure almost all the various...

On one of the Accu-Stats DVDs from the Sands Regency tournament in Reno one of the announcers said if you play Rotation it will help your 9-Ball game. Not sure if it was Bill Incardona or David Maddux or Jay Helfert. A comment was made that Rotation is the main game played in the Philippines...
