    Super billiards expo 2025

    I played in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd events. Remember having to wait in line at the change machine to get quarters for the pay tables. :oops: Also they had a "players meeting" that you HAD to attend. They then went and one by one called everyone's name and you had to verify you were there. Think...

    Pool's latest growth in popularity is due to...?

    And they don't come in to practice and many have an attitude that you owe them on league nights. My favorite was the guy who proudly showed me the cheap decal cue he bought online while standing next to the 15 or 20 new cues I had on display.

    Old (defunct) NYC pool hall?

    The stinkiest entrance to any business of any kind in my 74 years of life. Had to hold your breath and run up the stairs. Number 2 stinkiest, the guy in the same Hawaiian shirt every day that asked if you wanted to play one pocket as soon as you walked through the door.

    Best Pool Game for Seniors - 1 Pocket or 14.1?

    Hmmm...big decision...watch grass grow, paint dry or play 1 pocket. I was better at 14.1 as well when I was younger, playing either is like deciding whether to play the whites or the seniors. Keep playing 9 ball, play lots of safeties and frustrate the youngsters. Nothing like the look on their...

    Can anyone help/advise on my Brunswick Gold Crown 9??

    I'm not getting this. $1000-1500 max. GC are around everywhere since many rooms are moving on to Diamonds. Buyers have to pay for moving and setup and recovering. The cost of cloth is $350. You are talking $1500-2000 over the purchase price of the table. Like mikemosconi posted there is a very...

    North of Boston, Where else besides Amazin?

    If you find one, let me know. Amazin, is a great room with great customers. You have to go to NH, The Nest in Plaistow has 8' Diamonds. Strokers in Pelham is also a good room. 9' Diamonds. I am not an authority but those are the closest I know of other than Amazin.

    So how come my thread postings are getting dropped?

    Hi Mike, Geez..."many" years ago....how about "a short time ago" ;) Everything posted once I put the photos in. So today has been a success because I learned something new. I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully some new to the game or even a few old timers will enjoy them as well. Bob

    Yeah thanks for your input. I must admit I had never seen this before. Don't really post much here anymore. Too many keyboard hyenas.

    "Do It For The Game" and "Just Do It For The Money" still available

    Well, I'll try this again. I still have some books available. I understand that people don't read books as much anymore, but if you check the reviews here on AZ I think you will find them easy to read and entertaining. They were written for pool players by a pool player. Still waiting for the...

    Hmmmm...thought my profile photo would have covered that. Would have been nice if the moderator explained why you were deleted. Just a couple of words. "No photo" ...plunk....

    I did that for the second post but it was still deleted. I don't get it. Never had a problem posting here.

    So how come my thread postings are getting dropped?

    I posted a thread in the Wanted/For Sale section for my books two days ago and it disappeared. I had an email address in it so I assumed that was why. I posted one again yesterday and again it disappeared. I have no idea if I did anything wrong. I've been on AZ long before the 2004 date on my...
