    Which PRO PLAYERS give the best lessons?

    Let's not forget the lady pros. Karen Corr gives incredibly good lessons. Haven't had the pleasure of a lesson from any of the other ladies, but I'd bet there are some other excellent teachers among them.

    Anybody out there with a diamond table that has tighter pockets than pro cut?

    Diamond used to charge a $400 premium for pockets smaller than their approximately 4.5" pro-cut. Likely they still do. So you really have to want the extra abuse of extra-tight pockets. As a senior, I can relate having hung balls all the time and paying extra for it wouldn't be that great.

    Diamond Professional vs Pro-Am

    The engineer in me is dying to know how you move a 1200 lb 9' Pro-Am up and down stairs. Not doubting. Enough ingenuity or money could do it. Just want to know how you do it.

    Whats the difference between RED, BLACK and BLUE label Diamond tables?

    In case you're wondering, blue label 9-footers with dymondwood rails exist. Mine came that way from the factory to my dealer who gave me a peach of a deal. I believe that was in '12.

    Has your cue ever been in a house without air conditioning for several days?

    Big temperature change is mostly a problem if the change happens quickly. Outside warms up quickly while inside is cold or the opposite. This results in sheer forces inside the cue which could conceivably cause damage. If you want to break a big boulder, alternately pour boiling water and...

    WHY is the US Open on the 7 Foot tables now?

    I'll never watch or play pool on a 7' table unless Karen Corr is giving me a free lesson on one. Don't have anything against 7-footers other than I'm just plain not interested in them regardless of the level of play. No hate, just complete indifference. If my 9' Diamond Pro hadn't fit in my...

    Was just exposed to another great pool writer today. Jennifer Barretta. Who knew?

    By the way, not one Republican is crying about the "gun-free" zone that will be the GOP convention. They claim gun-free zones are less safe. Wouldn't the convention be more safe if everyone in there was carrying? Why are the candidates not complaining?

    She has me because of her gun control position. Keep your stupid guns away from your stupid kids so they don't take them to school and shoot up the place.

    The most impressive pool playing that you have ever witnessed?

    The other night I was playing my wife and home, and wow, I was great .......... Shane's 50% break-and-run percentage in 10-ball is incredible. Hope I can find it on youtube.

    Allison Fisher - Lomax Cue

    I don't know who designed that set, but he's a freakin' genius. The cues are stunningly beautiful. How does the player hit? P.S. If you ever decide to part with them, please contact me first. I'm sure we could come to an agreement.

    where to get jb cases in usa

    I'm not begging anyone to do anything. If you wish to continue to help buy Chinese military hardware, have at it. Your sons and daughters will be looking down the barrels of the Chinese military soon. Your lack of concern I find shocking. Good thing you can't buy cheap oil and gas from ISIS...

    where to get jb cases in usa

    A JB case is shipped from China where it is made to the dealer in the USA. Therefore you are paying for shipping between China and the USA and the cost is buried in the price of the case. You might consider a case actually made in the USA by craftsmen whose quality is unmatched by Chinese...

    Diamond Systems don't work on Diamond Tables

    Hey Mr. SAT: If one doesn't care at all, they couldn't care less. If they could care less, it means they somewhat care. Guess that was a question for the over-690 group.
