3 things you would change about pool

disappear bar tables
only jump with your playing cue, cannot use your break cue to jump
allow pushout after break, ball in hand in kitchen after foul and spot balls pocketed if foul occurs
What is this obsession with ball in hand only in the kitchen? Allows for ticky-tacky intentional fouls when opponent has balls only in the kitchen. Totally disagree. Fouls are to be punished not rewarded in certain circumstances.

Team Names Not Allowed

Not sure how it started, but to be fair, banning "All Balls Matter" might be considered a bit uptight. Most of the older banned names are sexually suggestive.
Not is APA, "All balls matter"was our league name, our league was scored by how many balls the opponent had left on the table, so if you broke and ran the score was 10-0, so all balls really did matter.......

Restoring diamond table rails

For all the diamond table owners I posted a question here about restoring the black on my rails. In case you missed it I was using a slightly damp cloth to clean the hand prints off the rails once a week when I cleaned my table and it was almost turning the rails white . Well I don’t get any good answers .. just bad jokes lol so I turned to face book and someone told me about a wax they used. Tried it tonight and it worked amazing! The pics don’t show just how white my rails had turned from the damp cloth.

Paradise Cue.... Gift from Willie Mosconi to FRANK SINATRA

I have had A LOT of cool cues go through my hands, but this might be the COOLEST...... how do you beat the Rat Pack, built by a legend, and ordered by the best to ever do it......

This cue may be available, so feel free to reach out if you have interest. This one certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings to keep though.

3 things you would change about pool

1 - Make all new cloth play like broken in cloth. Very few people enjoy the first week of new cloth and it's really a different game

2 - Alternate break for everything. To come in line with all major sports, closer matches, increase fairness and to reduce overall importance of the break shot and reward overall ability more

3 - 4 inch pockets as maximum size for all professional play and 4.5 standard for amateur. Misses create pressure and excitement

Honorable mention to using chess clocks to manage match times and slow play. Ie each player starts with 30 mins and add 30 secs every time the players swap chairs. Better than a shot clock and can be run without a ref

What about your 3?
1 _ get back to 2 shot roll-out ( i think that's what it's called) in 9 ball....
2_ jump shots NOT ALLOWED
3_No slop shots-call your shots-all games
