    OB Carbon fiber shafts

    Does anybody have an opinion regarding the new to come OB line of shafts with a carbon fiber core? They are still going to be wood on the outside. $400 your choice of all their present shafts. https://www.obcues.com/carbon-fiber-shafts/

    Slate Billiards

    Does anyone know anything about this new pool hall in Smyrna Delaware that just opened? First State Billiards in Dover closed a couple years ago leaving a big void in the area. I visit Dover once a year and like to play every night while visiting family. Great straight pool players I hope to see...

    jump cue suggestions...Diamond wood?

    Joe Bouska diamond wood jumper. Nothing even comes close. I bought mine from Mike Massey. He uses and sells these. Since I got mine at least 15 people here in Denver who have tried it have bought one. One guy bought 5.

    Gambling...not sure I like it, even when I win.

    In my pool hall there are so many good players just sitting around that won't play you a game unless you gamble. They would rather just sit there and do nothing. They have obviously lost their love for the game. The gamble took over and ruined it for them. Like so many posting here. Hey to each...

    What This Town Needs is a Pool Hall!

    FELT in Denver has the right formula. Very busy money making place. Great tables all sizes. Enough people buying drinks to support the real players. Good food too. Beautiful building with a nightclub atmosphere.

    Jump Cue?

    Nothing jumps like a Joe Bouska Diamondwood. Bought mine from Mike Massey, his jump cue of choice. If you try it you will buy it. It jumps like magic.

    Gabriels 10 Ft Pool Table

    Ive played extensively on Gabrial 9 ft 4.5 inch pocket tables and they are amazing. So similar to Diamonds but without the over springy rails. Of course I no nothing but the playability. First State Billiards in Dover closed so Im wondering where their 4 Gabrials ended up. Any Clues?

    Bonus Ball - Thoughts After It All...

    8 Ball, 9 Ball or straight pool I would have paid for a subscription for sure. At least one season to see how much I used it. It can still be done. Find the next guy with cash to extinguish to take over the venue. Pay the players that need a job normal wages, whatever that is. It would have to...
