I found this on another site and wrote a post about the history the 8-ball water tower on my website. Pretty cool. Has anyone seen it in person before?

Lets bring it back.... post it below. What was your earliest/first/most distant memory of pool? How did you get interested in pool?

Talk about llamas. They're fluffy.

I almost always use a 1-piece cue. I could imagine that they would be hard to travel with if you went around to different tournaments but I just have been using a 1-piece cue most of the time. I also tried a 3-piece cue, they are not good...

Got any suggestions for some upcoming pool players to watch?

Favorite Billiard Organization Logos? There are obviously a lot of different logos that belong to various billiard organizations (BCA, IBSF, APA, etc.). I've compiled a list of some of the major organization's logos here. Just wondering which ones you think are especially noteworthy, in a good...

It is about time that people stop complaining that 8-ball is too hard. You would not even survive playing the Russian variation of billiards, named Russian Pyramid. What’s the difference between this Russian game and the pool we know and love? For one, it is much more difficult, requiring...

haha Haha I noticed that too. I think the people in the video are making it look too easy though!

I was looking up different billiards games like other than the usual 8-ball/9-ball/Snooker. It seems that Russian Pyramid is probably the most difficult billiards game. There is a post and video about Russian Pyramid I made on my billiards blog. I'm just wondering if you ever played this...

8-ball? 8-ball isn't an option? My favorite.
