Pool table and cue maintenance.

[gnihcraes]

I'd like to hear back from Gnihcraes (Searching)...to see if he's got personal experience with that outfit he linked.. my woobie needs a new elk tip, like, yesterday.

I stopped in to Best Quality Billiards to pick up a christmas present for the wife. They have been around forever and are decent folks. Nice showroom. I really can't comment much more than that with no other experience than my recent purchase. Apparently they are a service provider for many local pool halls, sales and service. Holiday, Lucky Strike etc.

Sorry, not much help.

Gnihcraes, thanks for the lead, I did call and talk to Quint.... he quoted me a price for the table work, which I'm considering.($570 to reset the slate and recover with 860) Its a ways to drive to get a cue fixed, but it might be them who ends up doing that.

Thanks Argon, I'll call them if you can find the contact info.....

....and I'll get in touch with The Billiard Gallery too, Newracer.

I always put medium moori's on my playing cue. The break cue gets the hardest I can get. There are some local custom cue makers that should be able to put a tip on. Call felt or mile high billiards. I bet they know some people.

Perhaps a CO AR-15 pool party is in order?

I'm absolutely up for something like that. We could try and meet up somewhere together, or hell....we could rotate to each others tables once a month or something. That sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I've only met good people from this board.

And, if anyone reading the thread would like to participate in an CO-AR15 Pool get together, feel free to post up if you're interested.

My cues were all purchased from Showcase. They had an in house guy that did all their stuff, and I can't even remember his name now. My break cue is called "The Buster" if you ever saw one of those.......Probably got about $1500 tied up in the four cues I use the most.

Call felt or mile high billiards. I bet they know some people.

I will give that a try, Sir.

Interested, but I'm very amateur, haven't played in a few years since Lucky Strike said my kids couldn't play. Never been back. Wife is joining a league at Holiday in Lakewood. Thus why I bought her a cheap stick for christmas. Wish I had room for a table.

[OtterbatHellcat]

That's cool your wife got a new cue for x-mas...and that she's joining a league.

I don't think any of us are TV caliber players...lol. I think it would be a lot of fun, brother. You're all welcome to come play here in my basement if you'd like..

Will there be smoking and drinking?

[Firehaus]

I'm up for wherever. I always like a pool hall since I like to masse/jump if needed. Not that I've ever hurt a table since I know what I'm doing. Just don't really do it that much on other peoples tables.

Do we all like great scotch/ whiskey?
