Not to mention wiping chalk off of tip before putting into case after playing so chalk will not line your shaft sleeve.

Quick answer, clamp one side of cloth to slate. Pull with maximum stretch, mark cloth on other side of slate while stretched. Subtract 3/4 of an inch.

I swap the end rails on every table recover because the bottom corner balls of an eight ball rack hit in the same spot on every break. Maybe a little OCD, but it must even out the stress on the end cushions somewhat. It may matter if there is a brand badge or a counter though.

Have all rails attached to pocket irons and set on table. Set your end rails slightly snug and centered to the holes where they can be bumped around. Measure diagonally across table end to end at the same precise points on both end rails. When readings are the same, ends should be square and...

How come no one has mentioned that the proper bed/slate to nose rail height should be around 63.5 % of the diameter of the ball. Which is what, about 1 7/16 inches or so for a 2.25 inch American, usually standard billiard ball? Tell the goober to measure his rail/"bumper" height and he should...

The bar I step into once in a while was using the big cue balls but the tables really used the later version, the heavy ball. But the big ones would work because they were heavier. I bought them the proper heavy balls and threw the over sized ones into Lake Texoma on the way home.

I have run across these neoprene things that slip onto the ear pieces of your glasses. They hold your glasses perfectly where you want them without slipping down your nose. They work amazingly well as advertised. They are called Wedgees and are cheap. Check them out on Amazon. Great for pool and...

Its an old Brunswick from out of a college, going to look at it today.

Hi all. I have a 10' snooker to do and am wondering about the Simonis cloths. Is the 30 oz. 4000 any more difficult to work with than 760 or 860? How about closing out the rails? Are they easier than pool table rails? I've done many tables of course but never a snooker table. So any tips or...

I heard that after a few drinks there is a left or right brain shift, which ever it is. Then you are operating with your more subconcious or free flow side of the brain and not your talky, logical side. But after several drinks more, all bets are off. Thats what a DUI school taught a friend of...

Yeah, when it got knocked over, I told the guy no big deal and didn't notice it broken until I was leaving. Will have to secure things better in the future. I love the case though, but still a drag.

Never mind, I found Instrokes number 1-800-666-9190. They will repair it for 25.00 and 17.00 shipping. Thanks.

Last night at a small tournament some goofball knocked over my Instroke Buffalo 3 by 5 case. It fell forward on it's face on a concrete floor and the twist part of the top latch broke off rendering it useless. It is less than a year old and I believe I bought it from Seyberts. I can't find the...

For commercial bar boxes, what is the most durable non worsted unbacked cloth? I have used the search function but I would like some fresh ideas based on your experiences, thanks.

I looked at a table to recover last night and according to Valley's website, it is a pre 1959 table. They are wondering where to get new corner castings but these are plated and made out of plastic, not to mentioned a little beat up. They can probably be fixed up and painted. How long were they...

Is there going to be a Valley Forge Bar Box tourney this year? And will it be on youtube like last year? I still watch those matches and have learned a lot from those guys.

I made some nunchucks out of the ends of 4 old house cues. Complete with matching points and bumpers. Cool to have hanging around my pool room.
