Ultra short notice as I thought it would be on here already. Hall of Fame Billiards is hosting a few tournaments to welcome Tony Chohan home. On Friday evening there is a single elimination 9 ball and short rack banks tournament planned with a $20 entry fee. Hopefully we can get everyone in the...

Unfortunately a case can be made really easy that basic principles of economics simply don't apply to the pool world. Once something becomes popular or a company convinces people that their product is "it," the quality goes down and the price goes up.

Oddly enough just about the same time Lotto games spread across the country and casino licensing regulations loosened up. Once people got more choices in how they would relieve themselves of their extra money pool almost always loses out. Growing up in Detroit, there were tons of auto worker...

Ball N Cue in Lincoln Park on Fort Street. (Diamond BB and older Diamond 9 ft) Rack in Livonia on Joy Road. (Older Gold Crowns) Plush Pockets recently re-opened in Warren on Dequindre Road. (Globals I think) Hall of Fame Billiards in Warren at 13 Mile Road and Mound Road. (GC4s, 2 Diamond BB, 2...

Once I started treating that reassuring, supportive voice in my head like a separate schizophrenic personality I started performing better. Once you let that voice in things can start going downhill fast. Your brain not only wants in the game, it wants to control everything about it and its...

I have a used Hustlin' varsity style jacket for sale. It is black wool with the white Hustlin' logo on the back, front, and sleeve and has black leather sleeves. The size is 3x. I wore it for a while as a winter coat even though I usually only wear a L or XL. I usually wore it with a hoodie...

For those looking to replace tips or stock up let me know.

I like to just throw 10 balls out and if I miss throw them up again. That is how I usually get loose and warm up. After that I can work on something I am struggling with on that day. Sounds basic but it should give you a pretty good idea of what needs improvement and you could keep track somehow...

I have two shafts that I am going to sell. They are both OB Classic Pro with 3/8x10 joint. They are both 30" long shafts and both need ferrules. I wore both tips down too much and cracked both ferrules. Both shafts are about one year old. One from May, 2013 and the other from June, 2013. Both...

I received another order of Hirano Medium tips. Same price as in the post above. Please PM orders because I don't check in on the actual threads that much.

I have been tinkering around for a while now trying to get my break cue like I want. Now I have been using a customized Predator BK. I had a jump joint put in and I drilled out the BK2 shaft and had it filled with a wood dowel. Added an Aegis ferrule and hard tip and now I like it. I guess it...

I know some people who hate ear buds because their sharking and intimidation techniques won't be as successful for them. A good portion of the time I don't even have the music playing on my ipod but a lot of times people will leave me alone because they think it is going. I usually turn it on...

I hear you but I am not losing perspective over any of it. I said I feel bad for them and the car wash owners. I don't think I said anything to condone what they did at all but people are going to write whatever they feel justifies their opinions. I really don't see the relevance of a critical...

Good luck with the marriage. Better you than me. I just never met a woman I could live with for an extended period of time let alone for -cough cough- ever. Sounds like you have been looking forward to it for a long time so enjoy.
