    Gandy Big G ball return

    Hello all. Been some time since i last posted. I built a ball box for my Gandy a long time ago but lost steam in getting a rail system working. I just recently had enough with walking around the table to retrieve the balls and decided to finish it. Easy enough really. Basically everything was...

    Scott Gracio I want my cue or money back now.

    This is why i always bought a cue with both hands. One for the cue and the other with the money. On site with no promises. The only issue is buying a cue across the country... Is there something like Paypal where they might act as an intermediary that holds the money for the builder until the...

    Scott Gracio I want my cue or money back now.

    Wow, after reading all this, well, certainly lost my taste for owning one of his cues. I just noticed one that went for sale today, regardless for who sells it, the name goes with the cue. Rather keep shooting with my old stick. I really hope he comes clean on this. Shame a tarnished rep would...

    Getting players to enter a local tournament

    Calcutta nobody mentioned a calcutta? Some of the best action during the tournament was between the guys that weren't playing.

    Question for cue guys...

    Not preaching Nothin' spiritual in this statement but you leave this world the same way you came in. So unless you were born with a cue in your tiny little baby hands it all gets left behind waving bye bye as you move along. What your next stop is might be a bigger question...

    Tournament Play. What do you prefer on who BREAKS

    Definitely feel alternating breaks should go away. I believe it was mentioned that alternating breaks were introduced to create a closer more exciting match? I find a hill hill match just as exciting as watching one player break and run a set without a miss. Either way its all about seeing...

    What to do here?

    Consistent Points? I'm curious just how consistent points play from table to table. One of the reasons I have never been a big fan of bank shots as opposed to a thin cut or a good safe. Tables seem to vary a lot when taking rails into account in my opinion. Going to make a note of it and...

    Simonis stretch

    I will be interested in seeing the DVD as well. Not a mechanic but always had an interest in all things that get put together. Pool tables being one at the top of my list. RKC. Any chance you will make an announcement of AZ when the DVD gets released?

    4 point leather wrap. Highest bid on Thurs 6pm

    I thought this was going to go a lot higher. Basically the type of cue I would love to own. Just not now. Times a scary and I have to keep my spending at a minimum. Beautiful cue by the way! Hope it hits as well as it looks.

    Good strategy or poor sportsmanship?

    I think you're onto something about your game that you can overcome and carry the knowledge there after. I had the same issue with slow players and had a friend to point it out for me. Two things: Teach your self how to play a slower speed first before going into a competition and trying it...

    How do you play this common shot?

    I tried this one. It looked interesting but yes the angles are a bit off. I had to shoot this just south of the side pocket with running english. I actually made it three out of ten cutting it across the short rail into the corner pocket. Didn't expect to have that happen. I think if you can get...

    Stoped Smoking and Play Pool 4 hours a day

    Quitting is never easy. I quit 3 months after my daughter was born. That is after 20 plus years of a pack and a half to two packs a day. If I could bottle the determination I developed to quit I'd be well off. I think the biggest factor I had to over come was recognizing my identity without a...

    Other professional tables other than Brunswick, Diamond and Olhausen?!

    I have a Gandy Big G that plays just as good. reasonable prices out there too.

    Worst weekend ever

    Do you suppose streaming some tournaments might be an idea. Maybe get the word out to the rest of the pool community that they might be able to get into something other than just another tournament. maybe some of the players might be able to get into some streaming matches. Just a thought.

    9 ball break resolution

    Very nice. Thanks. I will be going over these until i get the sense of it. I did notice that he makes contact with the cue well after his arm is past 90 degrees vertical. Looks like he is choking up on the cue. My friend from a long time ago had taught me that. I used it for a while but long...
