Looks like Freddie nailed it with this list. I haven't seen this kind of pool density anywhere else.

I have a few cheap no-name gloves in my case that I've had so long that I don't know where I bought them. A couple of them are so durable that one of them has stood up to everyday use for this entire season. Do you have any that last this long? Please share what they are and where are they...

In this link, the players have a complete set of 15 mini balls that they are using to associate a specific ball number with a specific pocket. Ever seen these before? Anyone know where to get some?

According to FargoRate, it's BJ Ussery (769) to Shaun Wilkie (753)

I would have said that chalking over the table makes tables even dirtier than overchalking does.

Why is it called One Shot?

Sure seems like there should be quite a few copies of old BCA rule books available. Bob Jewett always seems to have a lot of old pool books.

How did the partners game differ in rules?

I love watching Carlo play. Top notch player with a modest personality to match.

In my experience, most any rack in decent condition is not the problem on a pool hall table. It's the cloth that over time develops dents that make tight racking difficult. Templates overcome this problem by using their own dents perfectly placed.

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...
