Even an inexpensive cue dedicated as a break cue is a huge benefit. If you're looking for a house cue to break with, every time you go to the poolhall, what are the odds you'll use the exact same one ? Sure, you may find one that the weight is the same, but the tip(s), taper(s), straightness...

Clarity regarding the physical size of the cash: It's not as cut and dry as you've written. There would likely be various denominations, not "3800 $5's". One bank band of $100's alone is $2K. Our league paid out over $15K in cash last season. As the League Treasurer, I went to the bank the...

I'm not going to dispute whether OP (or for that matter anyone looking to move any pool table) should decide to move a 3 piece or 1 piece slate themselves. That's up to the person purchasing and/or moving the table, if they choose to get the manpower and have the required means of transport. My...
