I finally played Ultimate Pool

My two cents:
- I've played in all of the leagues and UPL is definitely my favorite.
- The shot clock and match clock are awesome.
- Not having to commit to playing all night is great. You can coordinate with your captain and play first if you have an early morning or play last if you have dinner plans.
- The prize money at Nationals is lightyears ahead of any other league.
- Only pet peeve I have is when someone is intentionally milking the shot clock because they "think" it's a good strategy for them.

Sharing my old Brunswick table

Thought I'd share my table on here. From what my grandfather told me of it, it's an old Monarch model, over a century old, and as far as he knew at the time, he only knew of three in existence, and they were all in Pennsylvania. I'm pretty sure there's more then that, but it's definitely not one you see every day. As far as I know, it's the only one in Canada.

We've had it in the family since the 50's, but after being in a poorly ventilated basement by a cistern, we finally moved it out of the house when my grandfather passed away. Took four guys that looked like they'd be a good O line to heave up each of those slate pieces! Been sitting at my dad's place for a while, and hopefully soon, I'll be able to get it properly restored.

So if you know anything about these tables, their history, knowledge, what parts I'm missing, or someone that does classic pool table restorations in Canada, please message away~!
That table has diamonds on the rail, I thought Snooker tables did not come with diamonds

I finally played Ultimate Pool

Because it's allot easier on his older eyes, still his mind is intact/gamewise.
Take away 4'' pockets from the 9' tables and he'll win allot more.
And no one's gonna like it.

like at the derby 9-ball?

on a serious note, shane is still a top dog on big tables, and in WNT. there are just more dogs around than before. he'll be gunning for the world 10-ball champs this year, to complete the trophy cabinet

I just watched SVB win $20K in this tourney and it was the most animated and happy I think I've ever seen him post-win. Said he loves 8-ball!

Allowing an aggressive game like this to be changed dramatically.... likely came from the European snooker mindset.
