Like a lot of others on here i started 'pre-simonis' and would love to see an event using the old Mali/Stevens-style rug along with wood triangle racks. No jump cues either. Don't get me wrong i love modern pool, cloth and all the new tech but an event like this would be fun as hell to sweat. Takes???
'Old School Pool' event...??
- Thread starter garczar
- Start date
No, use classic Centennial balls. Clay balls were history yrs before i even started. I want to see players let their stroke out. Everybody looks like Earl on Simonis.
Big pockets, no ld shafts?
That'll work. What i grew up on : GC1's, Mali/Stevens cloth, Centennials and wood racks. Wickets could be 4.5" as well but buckets would be fine too. Winner breaks 'cause i want to see packages if the player is capable.
My entire set up right now was born for this event
It’ll never happen
Finding the cloth might be a bit dicey. I guess Championship still offers a good woolen. Is Mali still around?My entire set up right now was born for this event

Great idea, I've had the same thought. The standard shafts and no jump cues being a big part of it too. When I played at VNEA Nationals last year, a lot of the tables had a blue nappy cloth on them. A lot of folks complained but I liked it. It was a little weird going back and forth, though. I'm not sure what that cloth was but you could try contacting VNEA. Don't know if Mali is still around. That would be more nostalgic. 
I'm not sure. Championship is close, that's what I have. Not quite as slow as Mali/ gorina.
I just searched it and apparently it is still avail.Great idea, I've had the same thought. The standard shafts and no jump cues being a big part of it too.

Sorry, was so excited to see this thread I missed that part.
Done.And play 2 shot roll out.
We making them use maple shaft cues with non-layered tip etc as well?
Turning Stone is as close as we get with these options.
couldn't care less about the tips/chalk used. maple would be the shaft tho.
would be great but it can be a tad slow. i like where your head's at 'cause i love roll-out 9b. i think modified BIH where scratch on break would be in the kitchen and all balls made on a foul would spot.
