    Sang Lee Pool Cues

    Sang Lee is a VERY common name in Korea. One pool hall in Edgewater, NJ (21 Billiards at the time) owner's name was Sang Lee. We used to play a little when I would play there. When he told me his name he saw my rection and laughed. Not that Sang Lee he said. He bought and rehabbed pool rooms...

    How many of you steal chalk from the pool hall?

    I just bought two dozen. Paid twenty dollars plus for them. I keep two pieces in a sandwich bag in each cue case. I throw my old ones in the chalk bucket at the pool hall because what is in there is horrible. Why don't pool halls sell chalk? If you bought two cubes and left them in your case...

    How Efren handles possible drama!

    Which ball hit a rail after cue ball contacted the two ball? All I saw was cue hits rail, then the two, then the five and none touch the rail.

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    When I worked in a pharmacy as a 16 year old in 1970, you could get 8 oz of Terpin Hydrate and Codeine once every 24 hours. There were a couple of other cough syrups with codeine also, but I forget their names. We had one addicted guy who came in once a week or so, he had a route he followed so...

    Metal lathe, what else would be needed?

    I found a nice Compact 5 metal lathe at a garage sale. Not counting wrenches needed to use it, I bought collets, carbide tool holders, carbide bits and a steady rest to hold the back end of the shaft. A tip centering tool, live center, dial indicator, caliper and consumables I already had. The...

    Best Non Metal Rack.

    Please don't use a Sharpie regular marker. Laundry markers are better, they don't mark the balls. https://www.amazon.com/SHARPIE-31161PP-Permanent-Laundry-Marker/dp/B00IEHM324?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AY2ANYVC1YIBT

    For your Pleasure, best personal Memory, Why

    My favorite memory is playing in my second tournament, an 8 ball one. In the finals, I was planning a safety after missing position on the key ball. I was fairly buzzed, learned to pace myself after getting too drunk in my first tourny, 9 ball, and coming in third. So I get down on the shot and...

    I bought this retractable microfiber eye glasses cloth with a little hook to attach to my case to wipe down my shaft. Think it will work the same?

    I've been using 3M eyeglass cloths for years. I have one in each case, plus extras for when I need to launder one. I've also gifted some to my friends. It works well to remove dust and oils from the cue. I wipe the butt and the shaft. I haven't seen any for sale in stores the last few years, but...

    Quality of Schmelke cues noticeably decreased lately?

    I just bought a Rosewood Schmelke Sneaky from Billiard Warehouse in December. I used BW because they had an option for a longer pro taper than Schmelke's online order form. It arrived quickly in perfect shape. It has a nice semi-gloss finish I find very attractive. I haven't measured the tip, I...

    Is that cue in disguise? Like Efren's in this match?

    What’s the accepted definition of a Sneaky Pete cue?

    I have two Eliminator sneaky petes, each cost around $40. One is always in my car trunk in case of sudden pool hall urge. They have the big fat butt bumper that completes the house cue illusion. They have pro taper shafts and the shaft does match the butt pretty well. I was playing a friend one...

    Rasson Table/Mosconi Cup

    It was loose, I jiggled it. When the object ball hit the back of the pocket, it deflected straight down and was catapulted back out of the pocket. Absolutely amazing to see.

    Rasson Table/Mosconi Cup

    I played on a Medalist in a pool hall that had a loose ball return rail under one side pocket. If you were dead straight in, a hard hit ball would bounce right back out. Astounded two my friends when it came up in a game.
