    Advice on space for a table

    Thanks I'll keep an eye out for that/ask real estate agent. Funny you mention garage, I actually did insulate the garage door and install AC... but it still was too hot during the day the last few months to play. Had to stick to mornings and nights. I've been considering selling the 9ft and...

    Advice on space for a table

    I have a 9ft Gold Crown, I love it. It's currently in my garage, fits fine. However I'm now going to renting a new house with my fiance. And she wants to park in the garage. So that option is out. My question is, is there any other options I'm not thinking of for space for the table? I live...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    Is there a way to simply this? For example, have TDF for each model of table (obviously having different numbers for pocket size and table size). But for example, all full size Gold Crown 2s are .... all 7ft Valleys are .... Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems shelf and angle size should...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    Talked to you in a YouTube comment. My 9ft Gold Crown 2 has 4.25in pockets, 3.625in throat, and 1.5in shelf The online calculator by Isaac says that makes it a 1.09 I forget the exact measurements of my old table, but it was around a 0.88 I believe, which would imply the new table is roughly...

    Why is Pool so Addicting?

    I find pool incredibly addicting. Can't stop playing it. Went on vacation to Hawaii a few weeks ago, and seeked out and found a pool hall, and spent several hours inside there. I'm also curious what people's thoughts are on pool and drug/alcohol use. I had a real bad addiction to drugs for...

    Lefties vs Righties

    Haha exactly the same here, yet I swing a hammer lefty. Power with right hand, accuracy with left. Makes me a horrible tennis player as I keep switching hands... and could never figure out a guitar. Ping pong I'll use either hand, depending how I'm feeling that day.

    Pool Table Care

    I really appreciate everyone bringing that to my attention, as I figured it just was due to humidity. As an update, I called the company who moved the table and put the cloth on, they apologized instantly and coming out to fix it on Monday. So it seems it was an honest mistake and awesome to...

    Pool Table Care

    wow thanks! I wouldn't have thought or noticed that. Good catch from seeing only the edge of a pocket in the picture! I'll look into getting that fixed, as I bought a decent set of balls a couple weeks ago as well

    Pool Table Care

    Ok thanks for that info on heaters. I do have an AC in there, but it hasn't gotten hot enough yet to use it yet. I use low power on a handheld vacuum and make sure it's not pulling the cloth by tilting it at an angle while using it. That's what I was referring to when saying I do so carefully...

    Pool Table Care

    Oh man that isn't good. It was setup less than 2 months ago (March 3rd). Thanks for the advice, I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem with the moving company that set it up and re-clothed it for me!

    Pool Table Care

    I recently bought a table. It's a nice, 9ft Olhausen. Got a great deal on it, and had it re-clothed with the best the movers had... Championship Tour Edition. I really want to take good care of it and make it last. I had to put it in my garage, as my girlfriend said having a pool table in my...

    Shaft Conditioner question

    Are these two the same thing? (Cue Silk and McDermott Ultra Glide) I've bought the Cue Silk in the past for wood shafts, but with the new carbon fiber shaft came this McDermott Ultra-Glide. I'm wondering if I can use the Cue Silk on a carbon fiber shaft, or if there are different ingredients in...

    Questions about switching to carbon fiber

    I agree with that. I just wanted a good cue to start out with. Didn't expect to make me a pro with the first shot I took... but have a good starting point for getting more seriously back into the game I appreciate the feedback!

    Questions about switching to carbon fiber

    Thanks for the advice! That does make a lot of sense. I definitely fell into the equipment hype after reading about carbon fiber shafts. I'll stick with it and see it through. Thanks!

    Questions about switching to carbon fiber

    Oh yes I plan to. I had just got it that morning. It's beginning to grow on me more. I just didn't want to use it too much if I was going to return it. Thank you
