In the US golf is usually on 10' snooker tables with very small pockets. In Canada on 12' tables with correct pockets. But pool on a 10' is so serene, I would chose pool.

Plus new pockets.

We charge around $1,000 to change snooker to pool.

Peacock Billiards in Victoria, BC, Canada is doing very well with 21 nines and 4 sevens. And restaurant and bar. The place has fancy tables and is highly decorated, including 8'x10' murals 'by' vanGough and Gauguin, etc. Friday and Saturday the wait-list starts at 5pm and the place is full...

Can anyone here get 8' of draw from 8' feet away with a snooker cue (9.5-10.5mm)? Surly the stiffness of the larger shaft gives more power.

Is that World of Billiards, from maybe, Toronto, Canada? They sold to Dufferin about 1982-3 for a dime on the dollar I was told. They put their 20 yr-old son in charge and he produced some innovative designs. But they never got over the idea of "floating slate" which didn't need to be screwed...

Oh boy! I asked Zeki how the slate is levelled and they sent me this video on the Master - fanciest - table being set up. It has a steel frame that the slate is bolted to. To me this is the be-all and end-all of keeping the table level. Woodscrews and shims: pshaw. The pockets are regular...

What I posted is a photo from their website.

Yeah, that's me.

Nothing for Victoria, bc, Canada.

Some interesting things about their build: TOURNAMENT AMERICAN model RAILING Produced with Papel Coating on MDF Impact Resistant Varnish MDF works but is not high quality. 65 U Profile Jack System Adjustable from 12 Separate Areas Used I’ve asked for photos but not seen this yet. I...

I have my dream money-making poolhall after 43 years and will be expanding because there are waiting lists most nights. There are 21 - nine’s of many fancy and technical makes, because even total duffers prefer more acreage for their rental dollar; and 4 - seven’s, which fit between the columns...

Use a slot screwdriver (or even a chisel you don't value highly) and give it a tap. Turns out the stuff just chips. Sometimes the whole thing pops out at once. It only needs to hold more filler so you needn't be too fussy. Bondo beats water-putty 1983, which beat Plaster of Paris 1981. Forty...

You said: I am on the look out for a used 10 or 12ft Snooker Table. And now you'll us: A traditional English table would be nice but I'm not too bothered if it's in a pool table style.

Near you? No. Affordable? They are being given away in British Columbia, Canada. Cliff Thorburn, the first non-British world champion of snooker, hails from Victoria where one 12’ is now too many in my poolhall; it stands empty at night while we have a waitlist for pool tables. On Marketplace...

Wow, Maha. I didn't know 'umbrella'. You only missed four, by my count: REST = bridge; ON is the ball you have to hit next; CALL = nominate the ball & pocket CHERRY = red ball in snooker; Brazilian rosewood cue by Dufferin was $95 Canadian retail back then. Wish I had a photo of one.

My teenage son left my Helmstetter (sp?) on the table in my own poolhall and it was stolen. But three days later a kid comes in and asks if we buy used cues or could we put it on consignment. The clerk recognized it, held onto it, and asked if he wanted to wait while Mr Peacock comes down to...

Win a rosewood cue!! Peacock Billiards Etc is offering a $95. rosewood cue to the person who can identify the most billiard, pool, and snooker related terms in the following story. I was in a foul frame of mind as I stood at the head of the queue, about to pocket the rest of my savings, when...
