    Old (defunct) NYC pool hall?

    There were about a dozen 9-foot tables that were made of mahogany and had wooden ball return rails. Also two 10-foot billiard tables, also mahogany and a snooker table. There were some regulars that played money games, but not for a lot. Don't know when they closed.

    Old (defunct) NYC pool hall?

    I worked there briefly in 1977, but never knew the name of the place. The owner's name was Lenny Kofski (sp?), and I think his wife owned McGirrs.

    Watching for a legal hit

    I recently heard someone say that when watching for a legal hit, you should focus on the ball that the cue ball is not supposed to hit. Does that sound right?

    2022 World Pool Masters (May 5-8)

    Am I the only one who hates the camerawork? Closeups of the players faces or the cue ball, then cutting over to the actual shot at the last second.

    Breaking from the head string

    I seem to recall that when I started playing pool in the late seventies, most people playing 8-ball would position the cue ball about a diamond off the head rail and break with the bridge hand on the rail. Now after a long hiatus,I've started playing again and see on YouTube that all the pros...

    Proper cue storage to avoid warping problems?

    I bought a Mali cue in 1995 and left it on a shelf in a box case, laying horizontally. I decided to take up pool again in 2017 and when I took the cue out, it was still perfectly straight. Good enough for me.
