| 2009-11-13 | Toby | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Well, it was worth asking. Atleast it would be fun. Besides, don't you want to tell your grandsons that you played in every state in the U.S. Thanks Bill. |

| 2009-10-08 | Toby | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Wow. Thanks alot man. Growing up, my dad taught me how to play pool. He didn't teach me everything, just the basics. But the sad thing is, i beat him everytime i play him. Even on an off day. I didnt start using english until my junior year, and now im a senior. English does help you alot, but i can beat anyone i want to without english (not tying to boast). It would be pretty cool to play a game with you. Chances are that you will win, but i would be up for the offer. Well THANKS again Bill. I easily got 500 words out of you reply. Remember "pool is a game of Brains not Brawn". Take it easy.--- |

| 2009-07-13 | Thomas Walchesky | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Bill did a great job explaining his thoughts. I know that to most experts deflection is a sore subject and they don't want to discuss it. I think he was pretty clear with regards to the differences between the two shapes and I found that very helpful for me. Thank you. |
| 2009-06-22 | Ken | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Well said. Couldn't be explained better. This most certainly will help me in choosing the right pool table for my home. |

| 2009-05-06 | Thomas Walchesky | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Great responce, I was hoping there would be some way, a list shall I call it, to go from soft to hard tip. I know it will be a process of elimination from me as I go from tip to tip. |

| 2009-02-08 | T.J. | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Once again I am thoroughly impressed with the knowledge of Bill. Thank you very much for prompt response great information and additional website to give me a understanding as to how that skirt would look. I user to have a old 1913 2 story house that of the woodwork had gone missing or torn out, such as baseboards, built-in cabinet doors, crown molding etc... I had to make all from scrath, so with your pictures I am sure I will be able to reproduce if I decide to go down that path. Thank you again for your knowledge. T.J. |
| 2009-02-07 | T.J. | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi Bill, Thank you for quick and knowledgeable response. I am having the table delivered tommorrow and will check that out. I hate to ask another question so soon but you are probably best equipped to answer. Is there a site that might have those strips for sale or somewhere a schematic can be found to reproduce if I choose to go that route? If you don't know that's fine I greatly appreciate your help on my first question. |
| 2009-02-06 | Natalie | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I gave a 9 for knowledge only because he wasn't sure about a price. But I don't think that is his exact expertise. Bill was great at getting back to me quickly and finding a picture I had spent hours searching the net for. |
| 2009-01-31 | jerry | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for the quick feedback, at least this gives me some hope. Jerry |
| 2009-01-27 | Dan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks for the advice. I have noticed that the table was leveled with wood shims. This set up company is coming back and I'm sure will add more shims. I appreciate the response. |

Expertise
I can answer questions related to shot-making, aiming, position play, strategies, practice, mental preparation and the psychology of the game. Also, rules as they vary from venue to venue and how to become a winning player. I have experience recovering and maintaining tables and will also answer questions related to cues and billiard equipment. However, I prefer not to make brand recommendations.
Experience
I have played for forty years in every state in the US (except Alaska).My experience is largely in pool rooms but I have also played extensively on bar tables and in league organizations. I have directed numerous tournaments up to the professional level and have played several world champion players. I am a former Billiard Congress of America instructor.
