I know that Simonis 300 is primarily a carom table cloth, and for that reason I assume it's their fastest cloth they make. My question is how much faster is it than 760 which I assume is their second fastest cloth. Has anyone ever put 300 on a regular 4/12x9 pool table, and if so how did it work...

I still have one of his cue model #87-16 that I bought new back in the mid 90's. It still plays great now mated with a Rhino CF shaft.

I too have heard of Irv Crane's comments on that run and also his asessment of Babe's integrity is or was of the highest order. If I'm not mistaken wasn't it also Carl Zingale who vouched for that run, I think I remember Jay commenting on that. I believe that run probably did occur. This takes...

The colors are absolutely correct, nice looking set but of course looks aren't everything,

I have two of them, Position Play for h-Runs and Continuous Hi- Runs

I remember 'Poker Paul' he's the only one that I've run into that remembers Paul 'Bone-rack' Tessure and Mike 'Shorty' Dixon from way back when in Redwood City, Ca.

Certainly if you want to encourage more interaction and interplay between two players then of course alternate break will be preferable. If on the other hand you're content with watching one player planted in his/her chair while the other is breaking and running out time after time then the...

Absolutely correct, to put Tony Gwynn above DiMaggio as a hitter is a joke. Both 'Joltin' Joe, and Ted Williams seem to be in categories of their own. Just like DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak (Pete Rose came the closest to it with 44 in the 70's) and Wilt's 100 point game are two records that...

Dr Dave has a good video on just this where he set cue ball and object equidistant from each other and diagonal from two corner pockets. Shooting this several times will tell you if you're aiming and shooting in a straight line.

I think if you'll go back and check the records, Pete Rose came the closest to DiMaggio's record with a 44 game hitting streak back in the 70's. Some people will say that pictures in DiMaggio's era didn't have the good 'slider' that they have now but there's always someone who will have...

Look familiar...

Whenever these high run discussions come up inevitably Babe Cranfield's purported 768 and unverified run comes up for discussion. Karl 'cue ball kelly' Zingale is one of the old historians who said that it happened. We'll never really know but one thing that I do know is the Babe was a man of...

Very nice restoration!

Jay is absolutely correct, my first table was a Brunswick Viscount that I bought from some guys house who lived in expensive area. A friend and myself were able to dissemble it and put it in my truck very easily. Not a big problem but do keep all the parts separate as Jay suggests.

I happened to be looking through some old posts and I came across this one which I almost forgot about. It's so unusual that I thought it throw it once again as I think people will like reading it if they missed it the first time. Here’s a story that I once heard Buddy Hall telling it’s so...

This is the last part of a 3 part article I wrote years ago on 'Remembering Dorothy Wise.' I came across it again not too long ago and thought it would be worth putting up again after so long. There are also part 1&2 on the forum if you're interested. And by the way that place in Mt. View was...

I paid $2,300 for my GC3 delivered and set up w/ new 860 cloth. Mine came from a billiard room that was going out of business in San Rafael Ca. Since it was a table in service for such a long time at the pool room up there, it had quite a few scratches and was pretty rough. I took it apart and...

I remember years ago Billiards Digest did an article on just this. Their explanation for the reason the average couple watching tv at night on the slight chance that there might have been some pool programs showing when surfing through some channels indicated that that non pool playing couple...

Is it a foul in snooker if a ball does't contact a rail after cue ball contacts an object ball as it is in normal pool games?

This may be dating us a bit, but I remember that movie (Alan Ladd?) and the line from that movie!
