    Gold Crown II

    I believe that they were made for 2 years only 74 to 76. If the table is decent $1500 is a steal in terms of Northeast coast pricing anyhow - as in my present search for a table here in CT - I have guys asking $4,000 to $6,000 for good condition GC s 1 thru 4. I think that the Northeast...

    Was pool better 50 years ago?

    The training today globally is totally different from what most beginners in America would be exposed to 50 years ago. Internet not withstanding, Training is sooo much better today for beginners around the world. I took some pool lessons 35 years ago from a few top American pros- none of them...

    Was pool better 50 years ago?

    Some may disagree with me, and I am not sure what came first - but super fast cushions and smaller pockets just demand stroke mechanics that are so pure (and robotic in look and consistency) to be able to pocket balls and control the CB. The smaller the pockets become - the more perfectly...

    It's Been Three Months Now

    I have always been a Master chalk guy - but when I get a table in my new home I will try the newer expensive chalks that supposedly leave no residue - worth a try - my son’s Brunswick Anniversary has new green Simonis and the blue Master chalk really marks up that green cloth.

    Amazon perimeter style light

    I would consider the Littman - great testimonials - looking at about $1,000 or so now for this light- way more than a $300 Amazon for a nine footer. A lot to consider when choosing the best table lighting .

    Amazon perimeter style light

    You can buy a Perimeter light with a dimmer. How is the Amazon light any different - how does the Amazon light not blind you? They both can be obtained with dimmers. Thousands swear by the Perimeter Billiard table light- I see them at all the European tournaments on TV- just asking bc I want to...

    Amazon perimeter style light

    I think that I will go with the original Perimeter Light company for my pool table light once I buy a table in my new home. I would hesitate to buy an Amazon offered light- yes it is cheaper- why? why? --sorry but investing thousands in a table and then paying an electrician to do a correct...

    MIZERAK "DOVE BALABUSHKA" All of Steve's cues tucked in the family closet now seen

    I understood that Steve “lost “ a GB cue to Larry Liscotti in a match and perhaps got it back - not sure which cue.

    Shaft suggestions

    The Hsunami 2.0 is a very nice shaft in the Keilwood family of shafts. Nice long pro taper and smooth as silk---- if you like that. LD for sure in that family of wood shafts.

    Solid vs layered tips

    Yes Ultraskin medium black or ivory will be fine - I like the ivory only bc I like a contrast between tip side when burnished and the top half. Every time that I have Mueller’s- Troy Downey do a Triangle for me - no issues - maybe they pre sort them IDK.

    comparing top pro pay

    Most things that we do in life are choices- nothing wrong with choosing to attempt pro pool if the reasons for your choice fit with reality based expectations and you have a solid fall back plan.

    USPS Ground Advantage rates increasing in a few weeks

    IT is only Fed EX for me for the last 5 years or so and I am batting 1000 with these guys. Never looked back!

    USPS Ground Advantage rates increasing in a few weeks

    Correct- yet knowing that inflation will always exist- it is up to each individual to plan their financial life accordingly. People get " left behind" , for the most part, because of their own failures to plan properly and execute on a proper plan. Anyone who complains that they don't make...

    Solid vs layered tips

    I have never, ever found any layered tip that mushrooms less than a solid triangle tip. Of course, there is a big difference in soft layered tips vs. hard layered tips- ALL soft layered tips mushroom from my own experience. I think that a good Triangle tip requires the least maintenance out...

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    I did not hear him once mention the thought of trying to gain any skill that would lead to an honest meaningful work life - how some people perceive anything good out of this interview is beyond me Second chances always are earned if they mean anything at all.

    What's your favorite pool memory from 2025?

    14 guys showed up for this in house tournament -a few new outsiders who shot very well - I went undefeated in sets and games as well - seems like everything was just “on” that day in March- I miss my fellows in Florida!

    Another visit with Nick

    Thank you for sharing! I remember that 89 season for Nick - top of his game! I also remember the George case when seeing Nick at the 89 U S. Open 14.1 at the Palmer House hotel in Chicago.
