I'm in search for a truly professional pool table repair person/company that will replace the cushions and felt on an old Brunswick over-sized 8-foot table in Erwin Tennessee. Erwin is about an hour's drive from Asheville NC. Client wants new high quality cushions not just a felt replacement...

I know a guy who frequents a pool room out in the country owned and operated by an older (fifties) fellow who runs a pretty tight-laced pool room. He told me this: 1.There is absolutely no profanity allowed or your out on your ear and never to return.If you're heard expressing distaste for a...

The foursome most often playing One Pocket at the billiards hall I hang out at consists of an older gentlemen who’s 88 years of age and has had a glass eye since he was a young child and knows his way around a pool table the likes of which I’ve never seen a match; a man in his sixties who has...

Hi fellow forum users. I am not trying to sell this cue. I only want to find out if anyone on here knows what Meucci named/classified this cue. I am unable (after having done an exhausting search online) to identify the year or model number Meucci this pole is. If I have posted in the wrong...

Is this Meucci cue an F3 from the "Autumn and Fall Series"? Or is it one of the "Metallic" Series? Or is it something all together different? When I purchased it, it came with a Red Dot shaft which I had turned down to 10.7 Thanks in advance for any help in identifying this cue. It's not...

My apologies if I’ve posted this topic in the wrong area. Please move it if need be. After entering a 9-Ball “tournament” last night, I’ve decided not to ever enter one like this one again. The event was alternate break/rack. No problem with that. What I didn’t care for was the fact that...

I have a chance to purchase an older Meucci cue in great condition. From what I could tell from looking through the Meucci archival pictures, it's a 97-3. It's green and rolls real true. The man told me he'd sell it for $175.00. I told him the Red Dot shaft was worth that much. I think it's a...

Hello Friends. Today is my first day in Searcy, Arkansas. My wife and I moved here today from Erwin, TN. I'm not familiar with the city. Are there any pool halls? I've found one online called "Pasttime Billiards". Any more? Also, I spent nearly every day at the Clinchfield Adult Center in...

I recently vacationed in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and had occasion to stop by Stargate Billiards and shoot pool for a few hours. There were a few older gentlemen in there playing 9-ball and a couple playing 10-ball. I noticed on the cork board that Johnny Archer had won a 128-player...

My buddy and I have just finished installing an AMF Playmaster. We kept the same bed cloth and rail cloth as before the move. It's really a nice table. The customer bought it on Craigslist for $200.00.

I made up a game which is remotely similar to the game "Colors" but sufficiently different that it deserves its own name and rules. Here are the rules: OBJECT OF THE GAME “COUPLES” Colored-pair 8-Ball (“COUPLES”) is played with a cue ball and fifteen object balls, numbered 1 through 15...

I just bought this table 3 weeks ago and I really like it. The cushions are great and I put new Championship Teflon-treated cloth on it. It's out in my shop where I can play by the hour totally undisturbed. I actually like putting tables together having done three now. My favorite parts are...

Last weekend I had a few fellows help me while I re-felted and re-cushioned a cheap pool table. It had some kind of gypsum or Perlite-kind of bed to it. Whatever it was, it was not slate. It was flat and level, anyway. I ordered Championship Tour Edition 70/30 % felt and K-66 cushions. With...

In playing 9 Ball, I scratched on the break. The 1-Ball rolled all the way up to be within the "Kitchen" during the break. My opponent wanted to be able to take ball-in-hand in the Kitchen and play the 1-Ball which was also in the Kitchen. Is this legal to do, or must he have the cue ball leave...

I just put a new Kamui SS Black Clear tip on and noticed it was a little too long for my $90.00 Porper tool. This caused me a lot of extra work. But what I noticed the most was that this Super Soft was a lot harder than my other Super Softs. I'm somewhat surprised by the inconsistency from SS to...

There are four of us older gentlemen that meet at the Senior Center each weekday morning to play "Alabama 8-Ball". My team mate and I have become concerned with our opponents continually helping each other when it's their inning. One of the opponents inevitably will get out of his chair and...

I am considering making yet another Meucci purchase. I already have several Meucci cues and love each and every one of them, but I feel that pressing urge to by the "Pro One" series. It, too, has the Power Piston butt. It also is advertised as having a different tapered shaft than the Black Dot...

I played pool against a 92 year-old man today with all his wits about him and he could really play well. We played for 4 hours and I'm the one who had to quit from getting tired! He shot very well and to my extreme surprise, not once, repeat, not once did he ever tell me what shot I should make...

I am hell-bent on purchasing a new BMC Pro-1 cue from Budget Billiards and would like to know if anyone has ever shot with the Pro-series (with the G-10 pin set up). On the web site it says unless the player is a 6 or better, they won't be able to use the stick that well. I've won lots of local...
