I have and old set and I can feel it on the 14 ball. I have a 20 year old set of centennials and its a slight rise on the 15 ball, both are the sets that I uae at pool halls so I figured it came from nails in the pockets?

Well if you've never been told that you touched a ball that you didn't feel, you may not have played much Pool or may not have been under pressure of the moment. Rather its gamling for enough that matters, playing league when your game counts for the team win, or playing for the title of US OPEN...

Stop it!!! That was such a slight touch he really might not have felt it!!!

Truth be told.., the wait staff is taught to do it so they can make one trip to serve in a area, the idea being you'll buy something if people near you do..., and yes it sucks!!

That did not happen. The deatils are being worked out and everybody will be made whole.

There three great articles about this subject written by the journalist and editor Mike Shamos. He wrote for Billiard Digest for many years and was a expert reviwer of the game. The artcale reflected more on the past than current players but are all well written and worth the read, you finish...

How much does a table cost to relevel?? A 1200lb Daimond table is not going to be effected by a 175lb guy standing on it for one minute.

The equipment is a inanimate object that cant be disrespected, we who love the game regard it as more, but its just a table. I think it seems a little rehearsed but, no harm no foul. The sport needs juice even ifs a little silly looking, if it reminds someone whos watching of the Nascar drivers...

No ones playing on the table afterwards because the tournament is over. More importantly if this is our tradition then it is. No one complains when a golfer jumps in the pond after a win, when football players slash Gatorade on a player or coach or jump up in the stands after a touchdown, a...

WAY MORE MONEY for the Players!!
