    Tournaments or Gambling...Which makes you a stronger player?

    Funny you should talk about trophy’s vs cash. I used to race mountain bikes, we only got trophies. One day at a pool tournament, one of the guys there was asking how much it cost to enter the MTB race's and how much money you win. I just laughed, $30 and it’s only trophy’s you win. He said screw...

    Gold Crown VII (seven) pocket liner sound

    I spent two days at Bay Shore billiards on the GC7, I like the sound but the ball box is the worst design ever in pool tables. Whoever designed the ball box should never ever be allowed to work on a pool table.

    Tournaments or Gambling...Which makes you a stronger player?

    In the past it was tournaments and a little gambling, now it’s mostly gambling but on some of my trips I’ve had some difficulty getting games so I’ve started to play more tournaments when I’m on the road. After all the years of playing pool, I can’t believe how nervous I get now playing...

    Do the top one pocket players almost never shoot that spin transfer shot when there are two balls frozen on the spot?

    I shoot this shot often, yes I’ve sold out but I also make or hang one also. I was better at it years ago when I had a more reliable stroke.

    Table recover?

    Reminds me of a YouTube video that the so called mechanic half throws/slides his Starrett level across the seams and it thumps every time.

    Gluing the seams?

    The paragraph above this post said to mount end slate screws last, so in confused a little. If you glue the seams do you need slate screws at all? Can the rails secure the slates without using any screws or do you still need the screws to hold the slates level? Thanks

    Table recover?

    I just set up my Peter Vitalie table, I used a 96” level to level the frame. I’m waiting on the movers to set the slates on top. They mentioned that they refelt tables and offered their services. I’m already concerned they’re hacks so I asked a few questions. Do you glue the seams, do you glue...

    Is it time to play one pocket??

    In the early years of 1P everyone in St. Louis robbed me, including you. Today I don’t shoot nearly as well but my knowledge is pretty high and still learning.

    Cloth color

    I just played at Bay Shore, half the new GC7’s had green the other half tournament blue. I can’t ever see myself liking green better than blue.

    Fargo Rate Manipulation Pro Tips

    There’s big money at the Iron City events. An honest person with an honest handicap has very little chance from what I’ve heard. Im a prime example of this. I beat a 760 once and lost to a 503 once. Short races are a real crap shoot. However the system is designed, there are players that are...
