...and delivered four brand new Diamond 9 footers. Big Dog Billiards is in Des Moines, IA. I stopped in last night to practice and was able to play for a few hours on one of the new tables. I was planning on taking a little break from pool over the holidays, but not now!!!
Santa came to Big Dog Billiards early...

The Dog
Stop it... you guys are making me jelous.
I saw a truck there the other day, looked like eight reindeer unloading supervised by a fat guy with a clipboard.
Guess all the players on Saturday will have some entertainment away from the tournament as well.
The more the merrier....

Tables
I bought a table there a few months ago from, I think his name was Tom. Someone told me he was in a bad motorcycle accident. Is that true? I hope I was misinformed.
Also, if any of you Iowa guys know anyone looking for a Gold Crown, please let me know. I ran across a Gabriels table and am selling my GC.
Hey, also, what's the name of that steak place by Big Dog's...Iowa Steak or something. Man that place is awesome. After loaded up my table I tore down a 6000 ounce ribeye...probably the best I ever had.

I too heard about the tables and boy do they make me want to play. I even went for a hour during lunch to hit balls. That is what tables are supposed to play like. They will get lots of play this weekend

Really??? Just an hour over lunch?
What I like the most is the fact that we won't have to fight over table 15 anymore...now there are 4 tables that play great and also the fact that we should be able to have some small one pocket tournaments.

GCs
Man, that sucks. I must have gotten the good one. I haven't had any problems. I think there was 4 or 5 and I looked for the best one. I like the table but this Gabriels is pretty damn sweet.chiefseabee said:

Raw Deal
Yeah, I only met Tom once but didn't get the impression he was out to hose anyone. I think he would have made it right. $750 is steap. I rented a regular cargo van for like $70 and picked it up and set it up myself. Once I got the hang of shimming the slate it wasn't bad. I did invest in a machinist level.

Big Dog's
I wanted post this in reference to my past issue with Big Dog's. I played Yesterday in thier ACS/McDermot tour event and had a great time. I met an Owner, Who plays JAM-UP! and he has offered a solution to the Past problem.
I will add that On a slower table (he put me out in 9th-12th) I had the nuts.
we played on a sweet Diamond with spraypainted felt. that sucker was fast!
Anyway great time, Great service and a good tourney. Thanks for straightening me out Mike A.

Situation resolved
Mark O. from Big Dogs in Des Moines just left after redoing my table and I can now say it is perfect! He's a stand up guy and would recommend doing business with him to anyone. Thanks Mark and Mike.
