    Imagine the world's best/most powerful breaker on an endless pool table... how long does the cue ball travel?

    Imagine the world's best/most powerful breaker on an endless pool table... how long does the cue ball travel?

    Help me out! Where to take a friend to shoot some pool in Brooklyn, NY?

    A long time friend is coming to visit and I've just moved here and haven't been able to pick up my cue yet. Basically looking for neighbourhood bars to have a drink and shoot some pool, maybe some friendly action but not places to hustle/get hustled. He's here for 14 days so the more...
