The Pilot visits the barber shop

[Frank Almanza]

What an honor I had yesterday to have spent the afternoon playing some one hole with Jtompilot. What a game he's got. Very creative, shot some excellent twist back shots and ran a lot of balls.
Jim arrived around noon and we played until early evening. We got so involved in the game that we forgot to get something to eat. Jim you're always welcomed to my home and dinner is on me next time.
Well that makes Dustin Miller and the pilot, who's next?

What I haven't heard. Since your table got some doctors attention, how's it playing these days compared to before?

Awesome pic Frank!

Glad you guys met up and were able to play some! Have played Jim a couple of times so I know how he runs balls, hope you didn't charge him more than 2 bits for the shave and a haircut ~

2 of the good guys here...

Doc, here's my table in one pocket mode with the separator for the balls in place and lite up too. And the newly added padded shelf for the ball rack.

Nice design, Frank. That's a Centennial, right? It's an unusual layout for the ball return. There must be a gully down each side of the table. Very efficient.

Yes it's a Centennial with ball return gullies on both sides. Here is a picture. P.S. lll, Larry I hope someday you can make it to SoCal.

Table plays real well, corners are 4 1/4. Perfect size for 1P.
