    Savannah's home table?

    This appears to be Savannah's home table. I found it interesting that given her age she chose a GC1. At any rate, she did get one of the best to calibrate the rails and set it up. One very nice home table.

    Straight Pool ?

    I have always read suggestions on this forum stating that practicing straight pool would help improve CB control and position play. I have no doubt this is true, yet somehow have never got around to it. In a recent thread BBB suggested to start with only six balls including the break ball...

    Ball Return Box

    I'm getting ready to glue some new cork in my ball return box. Had planned on using contact cement but it looks like I will need to move it around a bit to get it into position, so that won't work. Has anybody glued cork down, and if so what did you use. Thanks, Steve

    What have I got?

    I've been cleaning up an Anniversary for quite some time now and I am getting close to setting it up. Recently my thoughts have turned to the rails as I could tell the pockets have been tightened in some fashion. So I pulled back some of the cloth to see what I'm working with. The pocket has...

    Anniversary

    I'm getting close to staining the wood on my Anniversary and it occurred to me that I will soon need to figure out a formula for the off white paint in the grooves, especially if I'm going to put it under my clear coat. Anyone have any helpful hints for me on the application, color, under...

    Brunswick Anniversary

    Gang, I was wondering how you finished your aluminum pocket castings after the final polish. Did you leave them natural and polish them on occasion, and if so, how do they hold up? Or did you clear coat or anodize them? How did that work out over time? Thanks for the input, Steve

    Tonight's learning experience

    Tonight I went to an American Legion Post to hear my brother-in-law's band play. As luck would have it, we showed up right when they took a break to eat. I was sitting around, bored out of my mind, when my wife told me they had a pool table in the room next door! I walked over to find a 7'...

    How many tips?

    Reading a statement Sloppy Pockets made in his thread "Am I correcting without knowing it" got me thinking about tips of offset, and how this is measured. He had basically said that with one tip of offset he could shoot the CB from the spot to the center diamond on the short rail and into the...

    Similarities

    I came across this picture today in our throw away paper. I am always fascinated by similarities between pool and other sports. You may have to enlarge the picture, but take a look at this young man's grip on his bow. Remind you of anything...
