    VNEA rack your own question

    The VNEA league I play in has several locations where the table and ball conditions are just abysmal. The cloth is filthy and old and almost feels sticky like several drinks have spilled on it. The balls are dirty and all beat up. Trying to rack and break on these tables is a nightmare. You...

    Dumbest $h1t you've done in a pool hall?

    I'm at work and was browsing threads and wanted to start one that would be a fun read. Anyway, what is the dumbest thing you've done in a pool hall? For me, I was in this pool hall in Des Moines years back that was a "nickel arcade". The Dynamo 7' tables ran on 8 nickels and they had video...

    table re-level questions

    I am trying to re-level a 7' Brunswick Dakota. This is my first attempt at this. It's 3 piece slate and I have the rails and leather pockets off. Basically I'm down to cloth covered slate. I have Simonis 860 on this table. Am I going to have any issues with taking the cloth off the playing...
