Forest City Billiards is owned by an APA player, Tyson, who bought it earlier this year. He didn't have any experience in the industry (he was in the trades) but he has a passion for pool. He has had the felt and cushions replaced on all the tables and reorganized the place a bit. I was at an...

I have this as well. Works great. Only problem is that it sometimes doesn't open enought to accomodate really thick tables.

Never found a glove that I liked as I have sweaty hands. Then I found the unglove which covers just two fingers and the thumb. Works for me. https://unglove.me/

I stopped drinking when playing pool 2 1/2 years ago, so it is soda water (seltzer) with lime for me.

I'm 6'3" tall and got a Balance-Rite extension (3 3/4 inches) years ago and found it made the cue too heavy. Recently got a 30" CF shaft and am using that with the extension and a wooden butt. It is working well so far. Very comfortable and doesn't feel too heavy.

At 63, I am the old guy on my APA team. The rest are guys in their 20s and 30s. A running joke with us is that when a song plays on the jukebox, I have usually seen the band and will tell them what year and where I saw them. Examples - Stevie Ray Vaughan, Montreal, 1983; Boston, Hanover NH...

I'd like to try my hand at replacing tips and ferrules. Any recommendations on a kit that I can buy with tools/supplies? I have a few old cues that I can practice on before working on my better cues. I'm just a casual 5-ranked APA player.

I first saw Steve Wright in the late 70s/early 80s at the Ding Ho comedy club in Cambridge MA. He was the second comedian in a lineup of 5. So different from any other comedian....

The pic is from Blind Snake Moan, a great pic about the blues....

Got a free ticket on Spirit to the APA event in Vegas a few years ago. Worst airline ever....
