    profoundly stupid question

    It all depends on your daughter. My pool table (shown in my avatar - GC W/860 cloth) was always available for her and her friends to use when she was that age. I never had an issue. Now at 19 she plays two times a week on league teams (1) BCA and (1) APA and enjoys the game..

    Need Help in Identifying Cue Builder

    Hello, I picked up a used jump cue a while back and was wondering if anyone could help in identifying the maker. It is entirely purple heart (shaft and handle) and looks to have a one piece G10 ferrule. Attached is a photo of what appears to be a makers mark on the joint collar. Any help...

    Best 7’ table other than Diamond!

    I just got back from BCAPL in Vegas and they had Predator tables out there. The pockets were a bit loose for my liking but they seemed to bank and play well in my opinion.

    If a gun was put to your head to choose one player to pocket a difficult shot for you, who would you choose?

    Don Willis. Good enough for Luther Lassiter should be good enough for me....

    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    I do not see it happening. I have seen a whole bunch of arguments in league over other seemingly simple things. This will simply be something else to argue about. APA actually makes you put a physical marker at the pocket you are planning to shoot a called 8 ball in. VNEA also has this rule...

    Looking for CueSilk alternative - Biosilk?

    Russ, I checked my bottle of bio silk that I use on my cues and it has " silk therapy" on the label. And yes, it smells the same and feels the same as cue silk.

    Southwest cues how much and how long through the years?

    Thanks, a JW is on the list to obtain. I will find one that fits my fancy at a good price one of these days. My problem, if you can call it a problem, is that my wife and daughter both play. It makes it hard to sneak a new cue into the collection. I got busted about 5 months ago when I...

    Southwest cues how much and how long through the years?

    I personally love the hit of my Southwest and am not disappointed with buying it. When it arrived it was exactly as ordered. It is the 3rd cue from the left.

    What set of balls do you recommend to get?

    You can't go wrong with either the Aramith Pro or the Brunswick Centennials. Both are great sets of balls and have been around for a loong time. Go with the set that you think will look the best and YOU like the looks of. I own a Gold Crown also (photo it is my avatar) and I went with the...

    Cue Silk™ Table Cleaner Scam

    That may not be the only thing they do that to. I believe that their cue silk shaft conditioner is bio-silk hair treatment.
