It depends what size bowl it is in. If you put raisingbran in a glass bowl measuring 3 7/16" across and 3" deep then it is hands down better than cornflakes. If you are using a glass bowl measuring 3 1/4 inches across and only 2 1/2" deep then cornflakes is better. JMHO :D

LOLOLOL BVAL I wish i oculd give you some more REP LMFAO
 
We recovered the Globals many years ago. I must have been 5 or 6 then. 15-16 yrs ago. But we havent done them since as far as I know. Does it matter? Are you the on who does them? My dad played Kirkwood on one of those a year ago. Ill ask him when was the last time he did it since he's working now, on rails, of all things. I got school so I hardly work with him anymore...

All I know is Henry and Julie only wants us to touch the front tables. Does it matter? No. If he decides to call you or anyone else, they'd be doing us a favor. I dont want to fix tables for a living. Thats why my dad has busted his ass all his life to send me to private Catholic schools and given me great opportunities that he's never had.

We've fixed tables of multi millionaires in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, etc. So what. You not knocking my dad's work? Really? Who cares? Theres enough business for everyone. I doubt you can fix all the tables in the US.

The reason he alters the sub rail is he likes the way they play. Plain and simple. Years ago, our suppliers only carried K66 Artemis. I dont think K55 was even on the market then (20 yrs ago). So, he did our home table with K66, found they were the most consistent rubber he used. People got used to it and demanded that tables play like "those tables" which are now throughout So Cal and Nor Cal. Why would my dad change something that has gotten good reviews and created a consistency? He's gettin paid for WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS.

My phone line is open. Not in a battle to see whose work is best. Honestly, I can care less. If you want, you can have the "title" of "best mechanic in the country"... its all yours.

All I know is that you got action with me or my dad in any pool table game. We can play at Jay's table after you do your work. I doubt Jay would mind if we broke in his table with a little action...

Sorry everyone for sticking up for my dad. Not wanting to be a keyboard warrior. He's a great man and Im not letting anyone tarnish his image as a person or a table mechanic. He's not as knowledgable as Glen regarding mathematical dimensions. But he does his damn best to make sure things play well.
 
I'm sure you just made T411 feel real good about his table and the money he spent. For not knocking someone else's work you sure found a lot wrong with your so called "follow up" of Ernesto's work. And you weren't bashful about stating what you thought was wrong. I for one feel this IS BASHING.

Just out of curiosity - what governing billiards related agency pronounces you or anyone else a "Master Billiards Technician".

I am not sure what agency pronounces one a Master Billiards Technician. I think if you do something long enough you just call yourself a Master (fill in the blank). I would never call myself a Master anything. For example. I have been fishing for many many years and I am quite proficient at baiting hooks but I would never call myself a Master......... well you get it :D

BVal
 
I don't care about all the BS, bashing, etc........ All I need to say is that Ernesto does a fantastic job.....period.

I'm sure that realkingcobra does a great job also, just not sure why he needs to come on here and bash Ernesto and TOOOOT his own horn :confused:

Maybe he wasn't loved enough as a child!!

Russ.....

How long would you have to bate or be involved in bating to be considered a master :D
 
Kingcobra, whether you believe it or not, you are bashing and tooting your horn pretty loud.
For me I could care less about all the technical jargon you have going on but for me the proof is in the pudding. Ernesto has done my table for 20 years or better and I absolutely love the way it plays and yes the pockets are pretty snug but they will accept any shot from any angle no matter what speed.
Presently I'm waiting for him to redo my table now. I know he is pretty busy and I'm willing to wait as long as it takes because I have so much confidence in his work.
One of my favorites games is one pocket and everone knows how much this game demands for the table to be perfect. I have never had any complaints.

Ernesto does great pocket work, I've never knocked that. I just don't agree with changing the integrety of the design of the table to fit something that it wasn't designed to use in the first place. I'll stand behind my work, and unless someone can show me why I would change something that was designed to be done correctly, and do it incorrectly just because that's the way it's always been done, I think I'll keep right on doing the work I always do...the right way, as the equipment was designed to be used.

I'll tell you what, since you started the subject of competition, lets play a little game of pool called...recover and recushion the pool table, since it's been the subject of what this conversation has been all about. When you go out and find two matching Brunswick 9ft tables that need recovered and the pockets tightened up, you let me know...and we'll play!:D

Glen

PS. Who's better at playing pool has nothing to do with this subject, now does it? Because if it did, then SVB might just be the worlds best billiards technician!!!

Not one person that has had Ernesto work on their table has complained about the way it plays. In fact it is the complete opposite. Not everything in this world is used as it was designed. You are the only one to complain about it. People request Ernesto to work on thier table because they love the way he makes the table play so why should he change that? Because you don't like it? He does it his way and you do it your way. Both ways are good. Both ways people like it so what gives. You say you are not knocking his work but every post has a little backhanded shot at him it. Maybe get back to work and stop knocking other people down because they don't do it your way. JMHO.

About 3 months in Alaska. I guy I once knew, a 90lb weakling, went up to Alaska to work on the fishing boats at sea, and 3 months later came back, 110lb masterbaiter!:D

Cobra I think it reflects on your work when you conduct yourself in a most unprofessional manner. And that is by criticizing a fellow pro in public and especially on a public forum. You could have started a thread about the contradictions on installing pool rails. But this thread was started to applaud the efforts of one mans work. You turned it into a critique on this man and his earnest efforts to do good work. And that he is well known for.
I ask myself, what kind of man are you?, that you come on here and claim that you are more knowledgable and more expert than a fellow pro. Its like Efren coming on here criticizing Johnny Archer. He might have his own personal opinions but I dont think he broadcast them, tooting his own horn as a Master of the Table. Why? Because he has class. Yours are in question now, not your competitors. Frankly I think if you have differences you should air them to Ernesto himself. And frankly you should be ashamed of yourself for debasing an experienced pro and great gentleman who would never do the same to you.
