I have an older, 9 foot table in Carrollton TX.....bought it from Shane/cuephoric, was told it was an older Brunswick, appears to be 60's era if I was to guess....3 piece, heavy slate table, the brushed metal externals over the pockets, Simonis cloth that's probably only seen 50 hours of play...

Lucky to know quite a few of you, many locals are well aware of my back woes this last year....it's been difficult to play much, and the day after league can often be a rough one.....additionally, fading the pain has been a bit rough and recently, and when combined with a lack of practice, it's...

I have zero experience with Earl....other than some of the video links to his bad behavior and some scolding on the forum, I have never EVER seen him play in person, TV, or video.... That was until this weekend.....I saw him play Buste on the tube for about 30 minutes....caught it by accident...

OK, thanks to Cuephoric and his table mechanic talents, I've now got an old-school brunswick 9-footer at the house....I saw Jay's post about his tourney and I'd like some ideas for fun, inexpensive tournies at the house....thinking about doing a monthly deal with friends, maybe 9 ball one month...

We did a few shots last night with some of the Vegas Champ Ladies.....not sure if someone already posted something, so hear goes :D CONGRATS BEYOTCHES :thumbup: jk A very sincere congratulations to the very amazing local wimmens here that we all pull for every week.....apparently, they...

Are 99% of pool tables for sale pure crap??? I want to get a pool table in the next year or so, and I'm the type of guy that likes to do his research early. Also, you never know when you might find a killer bargain, just buy it early, and store it. Anyway, I've been checking out craigslist -...

Last night, one of my buddies wanted to get a ring game together.....just something light, cheap stakes....we had 4 of us playing a banks ring game....this was the MOST fun I've had playing any pool game in a long time.....we were all doing a little sharking, bunch of trash talking, and just...

Ok, so yet another old-schooler has fallen :grin-square: I've gone the way of the OB.....spent the better part of Sunday trying to figure out this newly fangled, low-deflection technology, and lets just say it ain't easy.....for 20 years, my mind/eyes had always just automatically calculated...

Do better players understand the theory of the handicapped tourney? Over the last month or so, I've had 3 strong players make similar statements: "I've played about 20 times this year and only won once" "I should be in the top 2 at least once a month, and cash most weeks" "I should be...

OK, I am playing like crap and it is obviously the cues fault, LMAO :grin: WTT my Schon with someone locally in the DFW area.....I have been told it's worth anywhere from $400 to $850.....open to cues, cases, whatever....it no longer suits my eye so off it goes.....it's a player, and for it's...

I've played twice in the last two weeks, both at night, different venues.....each time, I absolutely played the worst pool I may have played ever.....missed easy shots.....and I mean easy shots.....couldn't run more than 3 balls in a row, and we are not talking about tough outs......and I was...

I can't believe it's already November.....updated edit from last year's post....it's 2010! Since the holidays are just around the corner, I thought I'd get a thread going where people can recommend products for gift ideas for the pool players in their families/friends. With times being tough...

My opponent made two shots last night that had us shaking our heads.....both are beginner rules, but neither of us had a book and truth be told, rule books can sometimes leave small openings for interpretation, so I wanted to ask you guys :D 1. First shot.....he intends to go 1 rail, banking...

I'd like to get a general feel for all this A and B player jazz. We gotta lot of knowledge here and would like to get the experts to weigh in.... As I understand it, and open/pro player is just that...tops....one of the best players in the state, somebody who could play a big event and bring...

Had a chance to stay late last night, battled for a few hours and actually started pocketing balls during the last hour....and then I figured out the secret.....you have to actually play to get better, who knew??? Anyway, need sparring partner to get in some practice.....north DFW area, Clicks...

A good friend and I got on this discussion yesterday......we were talking about how certain places react to certain cases/cues.....ie, you walk into this room with this case and this cue, you get immediate action with $100 sets.....you walk in a week later just playing with a house cue, no...

Last night on ESPN, I had a chance to catch a bit of some tourney they played in San Diego....the action was good, level of play was high, and the coverage was pretty decent....lots of break and runs, including some incredible shotmaking.....only thing that seemed out of place were the...

Made a new friend this weekend at the Pool Hall, we had a good 4 hour practice session of 10-ball and 1 pocket......started interestingly enough... I addressed the ball to make my first shot on the table.... His comment: "That is a huge shaft, don't know that I've seen that many so big...

Ok, so last time out, I shoot poorly and I don't last long. Well, it happens, so it gives me time to shoot on a practice table with my buddy, BS, talk pool, women, and various other subjects I know nothing about. I like my blue Master chalk, so I carry a small box with me and use it when I...
