Interesting. Although why they hadn’t heard of scoring beads or coins on the table I don’t understand.

That makes it seem that the people running the startup don't know enough about pool/billiards to write a survey. Add to beads and coins: scorewheels as on Gold Crowns, and the snooker-style scorers with 20 and 20s.

Here is one of the questions:

Received willfully. Been through it before, the lack of movement is frustrating.

The last straw for me, was a cue I shipped to a guy who was literally 2 hours away from my location. The cue took north of 10 days to travel 2 hours away.
That was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Some upstanding member here please slap me squarely for using USPS again. Bought a cue and asked for USPS shipment, it's been 10 days since shipment, with a full 5 days to hit the regional distribution center around 60 miles from origin. Now another 5 days and no update. Original estimated delivery was June 4.

And the USPS tracking site now has a banner stating possible delays due to the World Cup. How does the World Cup materially impact USPS?! They were waiting to roll out that excuse for months I bet.

The seller has been great to deal with, no fault to him.

I stopped using them for anything but letters moons ago.

Seems to me I recall playing a variation of 8 ball, where make or miss, you just got one turn at the table, alternate shots.

Anybody heard of this or is it time for Grandpa to go to the home??

It seems I remember we did that when we were kids. A vague memory.

Clean looks, a good price, and the 5-ball is orange.
