    Hotels with pool tables

    I stayed in a hotel in Albany (or maybe it was Buffalo...can't remember) that had an attached bar with one crappy bar box. But there were only two cues, and neither one had a tip. :confused:

    What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

    Don't waste a lot of money trying to find the perfect tip, or cue, that will make you shoot better. Not that I ever did that.

    Yep. It's an electronic trail that will follow you around forever. Try applying for a job somewhere, with this type of reputation out there on the internet.

    If you live in the SouthWest beware of this HUSTLER.

    Tell them to save their money, because you're so good there is no way they can possibly win. Next thing you know, there will a dozen guys standing in line, wanting to play.

    The CARBON FIBER Shaft With the LEAST Cue Ball DEFLECTION

    I bought a Pechauer carbon fiber shaft a few years ago, because I have a Pechauer cue, and I figured it would fit properly. And it does. Don't know how it compares, because I haven't tried any others. I like it, and it's much better than the shaft that came with the cue. But, I'm not sure it...

    Was pool better 50 years ago?

    I didn't say intelligence, I said knowledge. They are two different things. You don't need to be a genius to play pool, but you do need to have some knowledge of the game. You can gain that knowledge from a teacher, or from the school of hard knocks. It doesn't really matter. But If you...

    Was pool better 50 years ago?

    Back in high school, I had a physics teacher who said you can be the greatest pool player in the world, if you understand physics. She was wrong. Knowledge is always good, but it takes a heck of a lot of practice, too.
