Short Rack 8 Ball

Short rack 8b is racked like 9b, four solid/four stripes and 8b in the middle. Its a good quick game, perfect for tournament.
I tried to get the local leagues to adopt this after one too many (one night) nights sitting around waiting for the table(s).
Talked to the LD (profit concerns) and some players - That's not how you play 8 ball (you know the retort) end of subject.

Corner Pocket Billiards, Fort Lauderdale FL

Great room and even better owners. Quite, clean, non-smoking, well kept equipment, room.

Actually the owner you mention is John Foster, one hell of a nice guy and a real good player. Other two owners, Warren and Brady are also gems. Every now and then some well known players will drop by to say hello (won't mention any names). For the life of me I cannot remember whether they have 9 or 10, 9' Gold Crowns even though I've been going there, including the old location, since arriving in FL. Prices are reasonable and open seven days.
Unfortunately John closed this place a few years back due to the Italian restaurant next door giving him shit about parking. John is a great guy and I play a lot together at Gold Crown in Hollywood and Beyond Billiards in Davie. Both very solid rooms. Gold Crown more quiet.

My first cue from Cody Cash at PK Custom Cues

Previously (80's and 90's) I played with a lot of Meucci's, Joss, and some other more mass produced cues. I quit playing for a long time and started back a few months ago. I started reading about the different cue makers in Wichita and found this one on the route66cues site. These pics are from that site as he is a better photographer than I am. I really liked many of the Muecci cues I had and I especially liked and still own a Joss, but this one will probably end up costing me a ton in the long run. Beginning of an addiction.
