    Best replacement pockets for Gold Crown 3

    I finally got my table together and after playing for a few days I have noticed that the pockets that are currently installed not only don't fit very well, they also leave some nasty smudges on the balls. I was looking at these replacements...

    Sub-rail adventures...

    Well I finally get to working on sub-rail extensions. I did some a long time ago on my sportsman, but its been a while. I added 12mm plywood on both so there is plenty of wood to remove and do my markup on. How am I doing so far? I just did the one end rail incase I was doing something totally...

    Gold Crown III Frame

    As I am pondering setting up my GC III finally I was wondering, would it make sense to improve the center frame supports. Rather than running the solid supports across the width of the table, what if you ran a support (like a piece of LVL) the long way, and then ran shorter cross members across...

    Proud Moment at Iowa State VNEA Tourney

    I just wanted to share a proud moment I had this last weekend and the Iowa VNEA State tournament. I had my best year ever in the singles events, finishing 28th out of 609 in the open 8-ball division, and making the money for the first time ever in 9-ball, but what I my team did was what truly...

    Quieting a Valley table

    I recently got an old valley table for my garage, and I find it to be insanely loud. I was thinking for putting some denim insulation in the table in the dead space. Has anyone tried this, and did it make much of a difference?

    Side pocket relief

    I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how much side pocket stretch relief I should be using on my 8' brunswick sportsman? I watched the Simonis videos, but since they are on a 9' Gold Crown I have to assume that I shouldn't be using exactly the same amount of relief. Any input...

    Adding a wrap to a cue

    I have a cue that I love, a wrapless Fisher cue. Unfortunately I have started to have an issue with my hands getting sweaty when I play. My question is, how big of an undertaking would it be to have a linen or leather wrap added to a wrapless cue, and would it require that the cue be completely...

    Unity Cues

    Got my Unity cue last Friday. I purchased the 2nd cue in the third batch in this thread. So lets start off with the aesthetics of the cue first. My cue was a bit darker than the pictures made it out to be. This was good for me because I like the dark look, also there was a lot more grain than...

    Patching Subrails

    I am putting together an old Brunswick Sport King table, and two of the rails decided to take a little of the subrail with them when they came off. What do you guys do when this happens? It isn't a lot of material so I was thinking that I could simple use some filler, but I wasn't sure what to...

    New Fisher Custom Cue

    http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=110554 Got the cue from Mr. Fisher Tuesday. Fit and Finish are very nice. I would give it a 9 out of 10. The shafts are both smooth and perfect. The rings can't be felt at all butt or shaft. The pictures don't show the subtle grain in the ebony...
