    The best and most beautiful pool rooms in USA

    That is a part of the plan. I'll have my laptop so it should be all good. Rackem, Thanks for the 'be safe' tip. A friend who is not a pool player left this Monday for a big drive around ( guess that sort of pushed me) the country just to see it. That what I told him. It's not hard to accidently...

    Meucci history/shaft questions.

    I could be wrong but I thought Meucci came out with the red dot when the Predator shaft was getting very popular. I heard a few pros that were using Meuccis were violating there contracts and using the Predator shafts with the Meucci butts so the red dot was an answer/competor to the predator...

    The best and most beautiful pool rooms in USA

    I was actually in Hardtimes many years ago. Top players room but also had areas for the fun players and dates as well. I don't know if its as legendary as it was but it was a great action room when I was there.

    9 Ball the Movie

    The story is the most important thing. I'm not sure but I think 'The Hustler' won the Academy Award for best screenplay. Thats a big reason why that movie was the best pool movie ever. Great story, like a Greek tragedy in a pool room. Good luck to Jennifer with her project.

    The best and most beautiful pool rooms in USA

    Thanks for these tips. My situation is that I have about 3 months open in my life partly because of my schedule and partly because of an injury thats not serious but it's keeping me out of work. I have no ties or binds so I thought about this trip. Then I realized AZ Billiards has members from...

    121 Ball Run VIDEO

    My last question about your snooker experience. I have been practicing by using regular pool balls on a snooker table. I do this to improve my ball pocketing. Have you ever done this? If yes did you see an even bigger improvement in your pool game? Thanks

    Nice run! Thanks for posting it. Could you mention if snooker was a big factor in developing your pool game? Are there ways in addition to ball pocketing that it helps. Thanks

    Straight Pool Players:

    One thing that I always felt very important is the ball that preceeds the 'key ball'. I call it the 'key to the key'. Alot of players are aware of it but it seems to not get discussed as much as the 'key ball'. If that ball is well chosen its a huge factor in how easy and accurate you will be at...

    Will snooker help your pool game?

    Thanks a lot. One thing I forgot to mention, I would also play with pool balls on the snooker table for about 1/2 the total time I practiced. I'm not sure how much more that helps but it the closest I ever come to realizing at times I come very close to being insane.
