I bought my RB Split Diamond model directly from Richard in 2002 and beyond the hundreds of cues that have passed my hands since then - his is still my favorite player and will never leave me- it is my one, true untouchable and always will be - goes to my sons someday.

Mueller ( Troy Downey) or Proficient - both are very good, IMO- Mueller tends to have a longer wait time, but Troy's quality is top notch and the prices are within reason for today's market. I have over 30 years experience using Mueller and about 20 years with Proficient.

Final focus - the single most important aspect of sports success - no doubt. Those that possess this naturally always have a greater chance for success - those who struggle with strong final focus have to climb mountains to get there - but first they need awareness of their deficiency and...

The side pockets on Diamond Pros are really tough on high runs for a few reasons - and it certainly takes pro caliber play to make smashing break shots into the corners consistently on 4 1/2s . Sigel’s commentary was a little condescending to the players but I saw most of his 150 outs in top...

There is a rhythm to everything, kid - and once you understand that , and learn it, everything in life happens a lot easier! Most of life is a four step process- think, decide, act, then move on. If you are smart enough: You let logic and experience guide your thinking and decision making; you...

Yes, thanks- I won't be buying one of their tables, the ball box is designed to fill the rack with balls as they enter the box- it is weird - agreed. There is another room about 25 minutes north of US1 called Yale billiards and he is installing Brunswick GC7s - probably early next year - I want...

Perhaps, but probably not where this event is located- no way someone is going to pay out double and triple hotel rates for a pool tournament - they always seek out rates more favorable than standard. The night of lights goes on for over 2 months! This time period- this week is not even close...

Yes this week is a quiet week for hotels in Fl. So I am sure picking the November timeframe a few weeks prior to a big holiday gives the tour producer the best rate for the venue in a warmer climate

No longer living in Florida. The web site has live streaming of the events every day

Looks like almost nobody in the viewing stands in Florida - plenty of seats but no spectators. IDK but to me, this whole tournament looks like a bomb.

Great Post! I just love the old time cue cases that came with no exterior pockets- none. All the guys showed up with just a cue - one cue, in a bag, many young players would be freaked out by a guy showing up with one cue, one shaft, and an old Brunswick case- no pockets! My last memories of...

90% of an effective break, IMO, is a tight rack, a direct center hit on your object ball in the rack, your break cue speed, and proper timing/technique of the break cue stroke to the CB. If you have ALL of that perfected, the break cue that is most comfortable for you will add the final 10% to...

This will always be the all time pool movie classic for many reasons including the fact that the pool scenes will never be re created and filmed as was the reality of AMES billiards, the bar scenes, and the other aspects such as the bus terminal, NYC early early 60s etc. and the actual street...

Flat face SS joint; don't see that too often. Nice looking cue! Old School.

Axes?

Axes?

Without an installer ever seeing one, I would only trust a few here. There just are not many " 1st class "table mechanics. How many GC pocket conversions have I seen where the pockets were done all wrong- far to many- actually most. Same goes with new cushion replacements- one rail ends up...

Plan to attend!

My GCIV was supposedly directly out of a pro tournament - I could not verify that. It had big pockets- 4 7/8 and the speed off the rails was surprisingly a bit slow compared to the commercial room GCs that I was playing on at the time. I have learned two things for sure after owning two...

Yes, I actually gave away my GCIV to the guy who bought my house when I moved South- it was immaculate. I will be looking at every option, this GC VII caught my eye today, did not know about it, and the upgrades seem interesting, but I'll need some very firm reassurances to move that much cash...
