So I started playing pool at the beginning of July and have been playing pretty much everyday since then. Yesterday was the first time that after breaking, I ran all 9 balls at once. Felt pretty great. There isn't really a point to this thread, just felt like I should share my excitement about...

For those of you who have bought J&J cues, have you noticed a weakness in the finish / durability of the cue? I have a few cues and they all hold up pretty well, sometimes I do accidently give the butt a little bump here and there but it is usually pretty minor and doesn't show up on the butt...

Hello everyone, I am in the market for a new cue and I am currently strongly considering the Sports 2 series by Predator. They come with a standard 4-piece butt as opposed to the C4+ technology or P3 technology most of their other cues come with. Should I avoid the Sports 2 and spend the extra...

Can you ship to Canada and install a Kamui clear black soft tip? What would be the final price? Thanks

Sounds like the person that installs them for you doesn't know how to as much as he thinks!

Well aren't you the helpful lad. /s To illustrate the ridicule of your answer a bit more, those are all questions which you can find a decent answer within 10 minutes on Google. The best answer I could find regarding my question was what drv4 said and the other came from a thread from a random...

I haven't been around here for long. I'm guessing this is a bad question to ask for some reason?

Why does it exist? It is easy to understand for physical sports, such as hockey, but why does it exist in billiards? As far as I know, women can perform just as well as men. Is it tradition? If so, it seems kinda weird carrying it on. Is there something I am missing?

I guess I must be missing the point of maintaining anonymity. Does it have to do with gambling? Why not just tell that'd you'd rather keep your name a secret, or give a false name instead. Meaningless nicknames are just weird in my opinion.

I love watching games on YouTube and reading about other players, but I am really getting annoyed at everyone having a nickname. I think it's exagerrated. I know, it doesn't affect me, so why does it bother me so much? I just think it removes the effect of being recognized by a nickname. When...

I am also very much disappointed in the lack of exposure of pro pool. At my pool hall, I've yet to see a pool game on one of the TVs. I just started playing recently and have watched a lot of videos on youtube of pros, mostly SVB, Darren and Efren, yet no one at my pool hall know who they are. I...

As Solomon said, I am here mostly to hear about people using chinese magic racks and their experience with it. I am well aware of the other, more expensive options, but I don't see myself paying that much more (remember that I live in Canada, shipping and stuff gets expensive real quick) for a...

Hello guys, I just saw those cheap magic racks on the web: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFgxMDI0/z/3G8AAOSwBLlVFSuA/$_57.JPG Have any of you guys tried them? They are at roughly 9$ for 6, which is incredibly cheap. That model is also a combo for 8 ball, 9 ball and 10 ball and I was wondering...

Thanks to all of you for the replies!

Thanks for the reply! Good information. I am curious though, how has watching videos hurt your game? Also, there is a tournament for new players tomorrow at the pool hall where I usually play, I think I will participate after reading your post.

Hello everyone, I am a novice at everything related to billiards and am loving the game, but I am also seriously having a lot of difficulty finding general consensus information. It's all over the place and I don't quite know where to look. I watched videos on YouTube, read what I could on the...
