    Calling all gazillionaires!!!

    Well again I get your point and for the most part agree about the Pool-gambling link..., but that doesn't explain the lack of interest in this country? I've played lots of poker, talk about degenerates, shady characters and sleaze back rooms to be truthful Pool doesn't even come close!! The...

    Calling all gazillionaires!!!

    I see your point..., but the gambling thing cant be a issue anymore. FanDuel, online poker and the popularity of tv poker on multiple channels has brought gambling into every home. Theres no longer a stigma associated with Pool as it pertains to gambling. The real problem with Pool is that its...

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    A tip pic can be a problem if your using a layered tip. As the Layers get thinner with use it becomes very easy to puncture a layer and hit glue or another layer. Better off using a tapper.

    Youth ''In The Booth''

    I agree, but it would be nice to hear some other voices. I'm sure its hard to get the variety, but it would be nice to hear from someone other than the 4 or 5 that always seem to be giving the commentary.

    Just started watching the 10 ball on ultimate pool.

    Nobody wants to sit and watch two sub 500 players bang balls into the rails for two hours, you wouldn't do and no would anybody else. The clock allows them to play win or lose and on to the next group.

    Wrong Wrong Wrong!!! You dont have to like it, watch it or support it, but its going to grow and its just another form of Pool. The same thing was said about APA, its not Pool, its hurting the game..., it bigger than BCA and Ultimate Pool probably will be too. Its not the end of Pool, its...

    This is a forum for conversation and opinions theres no conversation about Pool that should be responded to with disrespect. If you dont care, cool, but this is conversation being had in EVERY Pool hall, its relevant.

    ID help with Pawn Shop find!

    Nice Cue! People who dont know about him would be surprised about how many people loved the way his Cues played. He built three cues for me all of them used a 3 8/10 pin which at that time was my preferred pin.

    There's a Cue Builder in Houston, ''Tow Boy" that built the exact same design. I can't say its one of his, but I had two that looked identical!

    Billy is friendly and plays good, but Billy is not a pro and is better at teaching beginners then experienced players.

    Houston area Pro/Instructor recommendations

    We talk regularly when he's in town, he's a great guy and good at conveying pool concepts so that any level of player can understand them.

    I just learned of a new pool hall, in Downtown Austin TX.

    Been there a million times before and after concerts, its a party house..., but every now and then you'll find some soft cheap action froma guy showing off for friends or a date and you can pick up a c-note from time to time if the you catch the right crowd.

    Alex Calderon

    He's OVERLY talkative, and at times can be arrogant, conceited..., but he really just likes being the center of attention and when you watch him play its easy to overlook the antics. And after the show he aint a bad guy at all, I've seen he help a lot of people, so I hope he didn't do what...

    Kielwood Shaft Quality

    Well not reaaly so..., sure you can play with anything, but if something gives you higher level of comfort it will also improve your performance. Baseball players have their own bats, tennis players, golfers, bowlers..., you get the point. Theres no substitute for for practice and experience...
