    Rules of Thumb in Golf Billiards

    I visited Hard Times (Bellflower) once not long before it closed. When I was there they had a 6 x 12 in a separate room and an open Golf game going on non-stop. I found the same thing in a room in Savannah years later. In Savannah, it was more of a friendly game between locals one day a week. I...

    Rules of Thumb in Golf Billiards

    A number of years ago I started a list like this for pool games in general (Rules of Thumb in Pool) and later another one for 14.1 (Rules of Thumb in 14.1). Recently I started playing Golf (on a pool table) and I think I've been playing for a long enough time to have recognized some winning...

    Should I paint my GC4?

    I think my GC1 came out great. Sprayed semi-gloss black right out of a spray can.

    Another Bob Jewett question: Rules For Golf Billiards Game

    Nearing the end of a game with three players the following situation came up and we are wondering about your take on this. Player 1 has completed holes 1 through 5 and his ball is sitting so close to hole 6 that we don’t think it can be knocked out of place. We think that Player 1’s ball will...

    Why is running English always (or at least usually) used for multi rail kicks?

    Seems like you might get the same result by altering where you contact the first rail. I'm sure that I don't know why, but surely there must be a reason.

    Welcome to Gestapo Billiards. Have a good time.

    Some time after seeing "the sign" I had an occasion to meet the owner. He was every bit as offensive as the sign. I finally went back when I heard that the owner was gone. It seems that he had purchased the place from a business that has several rooms in the area, but he recently sold it back...

    Porper Mushroom Tip Burnisher vs Trimmer?

    I don't use the burnisher as it was intended, but I love it and I've been using it for years. Instead of burnishing the tip I put the burnisher on the tip every time put the Cue back in the case. Storing the Cue that way keeps the tip from mushrooming in the first place.

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    Any perfect rack requires a perfect way to position it. That seems to be missing. Those four white lines aren't going to work. Especially because they are not down to the level of the cloth. Maybe the $1,000 improved version will be better.

    Foul I’d not seen in the wild before

    I think I would just pick up the chalk, chalk my tip and set it down again on a different rail.

    Bottom heavy cue

    I have a 90s era McDermott cue with an extension that I leave on full time - and I really like it that way except when I shoot the CB close to the rail and I use an open bridge. I have removed the weight bolt and the overall weight is pretty close to what the cue used to be with the weight bolt...
