My buddy found a piece of wood that washed up on the beach resembling that of a 6x6. He made a cue out of it. After doing some research we found that it may have come from the H.M.S John which was a shipwreck of the coast of Corolla North Carolina. Near the butt you can see the hole where the...

I live in an area that is too small for a league. We have 5 bars with pool tables. One bar has 2 tables. We are still not allowed to play pool but was kicking around the idea of doing some type of bar vs bar challenge when it opens back. We were thinking about purchasing a nice trophy and...

I've been watching billiards on eleven sports ( ELVN ). Recently I was watching the Predator World 10 ball Championship from last year. Shaw and Filler were playing each other and the score was 7 - 7 with Filler coming to the table to break. The recording was only set for 1.5 hrs. and I...

I can't seem to find it on youtube. If not, does anyone know the details? Race Money Final score

My little pool room has opened back up. If you read my post last week about my first tournament back ...I won. I fought my way back through the B bracket and my opponent didn't offer to split and I beat him 3-0 to take it down. This Monday, we both met in the finals AGAIN. Another guy beat...

Just kidding My room had its first 8 ball tournament Monday night since sometime in March. Many times, when it gets down to the final 2 people, someone will ask if they want to chop it and they always seem to agree. Our format is race to 2 on the A side and race to 1 on the B side. I won my...

So I posted a few months ago that I found an old place in Beaufort, NC...Royal James Cafe that had really good, cheap food. 2 Large pool tables at $2.00 per hour and I thought it was great. I enjoyed that visit b/c it gave me an opportunity to play on large table which I rarely can find. I...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkq-qcXw8x0 Apparently Efren played this young man before and the young man took it down. This is the final installment in a race to 21 AND apparently the young Bata gave Efren a 9 ball spot. What I liked about this video was the fact that phones were ringing...

I was at a brewery last night in Beaufort, NC. I was talking to the girl about something to do later. She mentioned a place called Royal James Cafe. At first it didn't interest me and then she said, "it has 3 large pool tables and a band is playing tonight" Our group headed to an all you can...

Race to 3 on the winners side. Race to 2 on the losers side A player battles back from the losers side to play for 1 & 2 spot. Is it back to a race to 3?

Question for bar owners with coin op tables or even pay by the hour tables. I see advertisements for "Free Pool Night" Do owners see an increase in alcohol and /or food sales when free pool night is offered?

Does anyone know any updates/standings/results of this tournament in Elizabeth City, NC taking place tonight?

Long story short.... I had a stent put in my heart last Saturday evening and they told me not to lift anything with my right arm (they went through the right wrist) over 10lbs for a couple weeks. By Monday I'm a bit stir crazy and decide I'm going to play in our local tournament. I had...

There are 2 or 3 tournaments every week with Monday night being the most interesting. It is a $25 entry fee and we usually have between 18-24 ppl every week. It is house rules where you call your shot, not necessarily the pocket. ( I wish there was a standard set of rules APA etc..) If there...

Is anyone else getting this message on basically every thread?

I have a chance to pick up an 8ft Brunswick Contender 3 piece slate that says it is in excellent condition. I've only seen pcis. Along with the table comes sticks, wall rack and reg racks, balls, cover and two oak chairs like you would see in a pool room. The woman is asking $825. I thought...

I recently had my table re-felted. It's crazy how different it plays and one thing in particular has me a bit puzzled. I was hoping one of you could help. I can't apply top english. I can draw the ball back 3 rails but if I to use top english, nothing happens. It might go a couple of inches...

There is a guy down the road at a bar that I will play with about every Friday and or Saturday. I usually go in and there about 7 or 8 people taking turns playing. He is usually on the table and I put my money on the table. He is better than a banger and loves to play safety shots. He plays...
