    Gold Crown I - Cover Slate Bolt Holes?

    Hello, I have owned a Gold Crown I for nearly 20 years. In the past, when I covered my own table, I always filled the bolt holes. It has been disassembled for the last 5+ year and I have an outfit finally coming out to cover it this week. Guy says there is no need to cover the bolt holes. I ask...

    When aiming, do you ever get cross-eyed?

    This has happened to me before and then again today while shooting at home. I get in my stance and get down on my shot, while in my pre-shot routine the tip of the stick/cueball get a little blurry from getting cross-eyed? Could this be caused by declining eyesight? I'm 41 and never needed...

    Question about 9-ball (optional) rules

    A buddy and I were playing 9-ball the other night. Prior to the game starting we declared the rule that you must call the 9-ball before pocketing. We play a few games and everything is fine. My buddy breaks the balls and pockets the 9-ball in the corner pocket. I pull it out and place it on the...

    Questions about the Break RAK

    I have a couple questions about the Break RAK. First off, I have read many, many reviews about the unit and it appears that it's a well engineered product. My question is this. Because the product is replicates a 9-ball rack, will you have a problem or a need to adjust your break when actually...

    Parts for Valley/Dynamo pool table?

    More specifically I am looking or wonder if they sell the laminate for the sides of a Valley bar box? I recently picked one up for $400 and one side should have the laminate replaced. Won't be hard to match because it's black in color. Thanks, Matt

    Breaking down a Valley bar table???

    I'm in the market for a 7ft Valley bar table. It's going to go in the basement. The basement stairway has a few steps, comes to a landing and turns 90 degrees and has a few more steps. I may not need to break the table down, other than removing the legs. But, I was curious how difficult it is to...

    Anybody have a camera mounted above your table at home/pool room?

    I recently purchased a new (new to me) home. It has an unfinished basement that I want to setup my table after having the basement finished out.

    Do you concede games?

    I started a poll/thread on the related subject, but I would like to see what the majority is here. By this I mean when your opponent has an obvious close straight in or slight angle shot. I think it's obvious that you would not concede a game to a player that you felt was weaker than you, so I...

    Do you get mad when a player forfeits they're match...read more

    Playing in league few weeks back. I broke and ran all my balls (playing 8-ball) and was getting to get down on the 8-ball. The opponent comes over and pushes the 8-ball in with his stick, shakes my hand and congrads me on a good game. Personally, it doesn't bother me....I could have miscued...

    Do you own more than one table?

    I currently have a 4.5 x 9 foot table. We are moving soon and the basement is huge, big enough to add another table. Since I mostly (away from home) play on a bar table, I am considering getting one. We have parties about 4 or 5 times a year and there is always a waiting list for the pool table...

    Using glare off balls for aiming method????

    I played in league tonight and one of the opponents was trying to tell me about an aiming method by using the glare off the light bulbs from above. He said it worked best if the fixture had 3 bulbs and somewhat worked if the ficture had one bulb (but 2 bulbs would not work). Anybody ever hear...

    Do you get "cold" in the chair waiting on your next match during a tournament?

    Do you get "cold" in the chair waiting on your next match during a tournament? Last night I went to play in a weekend tournament...nothing too big...around 20 players or so. Start off with a break and run. I shoot pretty good, but lose the match. I go to the losers bracket and play a decent...

    How much do you benefit playing with and against others that are better than you?

    Here's my situation. I play in league with two cousins and a friend. This is a VENA league division II. The better players are in division I and new, and weaker players/teams are in either division II or III. Right now, as far as the stats (game average, power average, games won, points....etc)...

    Need help with 8-ball break on the bar box.

    Here's the deal. I have a GCI at home and practice a lot. When friends come by, combined with playing with the wife, I get to practice my break:D . I break pretty good and most generally control the CB well and almost never knock the CB off the table. Here's the problem. League started 5 weeks...
