Thanks for the legwork CigarDave. I guess the question is... Do they actually play with them?

El Kabong!

They don't do it for golf or bowling, so I don't see why they'd do it for pool. Sometimes it’s on their shirts. Golfers usually have their club manufacturer in big print on their bags, but you can’t tell which model their using. (most of the time it’s something not available to the regular...

Thanks Colin!... Hey that guy keeps putting the balls back on the table!:D I'm not sure I'll ever understand this snooker thing.;)

Sorry Dude.... I'm only a workin' stiff who doesn't want to have to eat cat food when I retire. (I got 12 years to go. And, as the song goes... "at the end - it was the blink of an eye...")

Just like life... Playing chess, playing pool or planning for your retirement – it’s mostly about managing risk vs. reward. But it’s ALWAYS about planning for the future. I have to assume playing chess puts that mindset to work. What’s troubling for me is that I was a really good chess...

Thanks Craigs! I'll not bring any Keenan things... I wonder if I should mention JD (john davidson)!!!!! JD is beloved here in NY. He was the "voice" of the Rangers for so many years. Sooo many dismal years - made up for by one GREAT year! See you in November. Tim

Congrats Colin! (Anyone who has Bender holding a beer in his avatar is OK by me!)

Meet me in St. Louis... Hey C & C... I'll be in St. Louis in November for my brother-in-laws 60th b'day. We'll only be there for the weekend - How far are you from Oakland (Kirkwood)? Do you allow NY Rangers fans in your place? ;)

I've never met Scott, but Comet Billiards is great... ...I've met Bill Haley (although he wouldn't be abe to pick me out of a police line-up) and been to Comet Billiards. Not only is his pool room clean... the tables are in great shape and the pockets are really tight. (tight pockets are the...

OK, the bumper sticker should say... Honk if you know 14.1... One ball at a time. Just call it... Easy Does it (on the break)... People, Places and Clusters... Tim (A nod to those who know Bill W.)

So... What's your point, for those that don't want to relive the entire thread?

Thanks... The Hilton is literally right off exit 9 on the NJ Turnpike. Easy to get to from NY and Philly. It's about 45 minutes from the George Washington Bridge (the Jersey side).:D

Thanks Bob. Is there a website with info?

Don't be so quick to pull the plug on classical.:D My favorite times are shooting late at night with Mozart playing in the background. I fully realize that I am (and always will be) in the minority with this - Have been for 50 years!

I've been playing "pool" for a year. Tonight I played 14.1 for the first time. Oh, I've read about it... "played" it (kinda) on my home table... I think I'm in love. My folks will say, "Son, 8-Ball is more your speed!" Or they'll tell me about this nice little 9-Ball that lives down the...

This relates to the Books & Video vs. lessons thread that turned into something, if not ugly, then unseemly. I thought we might start fresh here. Before I talk about the lesson, I'd like to give my 2 cents on the original subject. I started playing pool over a year ago. I got some...

Semper Fi... TimFXF =... Tim = my name. FX = my fathers initials – Francis Xavier. (I/we lost him when I was 12. That was in 1969.) F = Last name.

I think it adds to the forum if we know where you're from. Customs, traditions and rules on a bar box are different depending on where you're from. As an example: I'm from suburban NYC... I'd love to hear what the "bar box culture" is like in the St. Louis area since I have in-laws out there...

Hmmmm... Lam chops!
