    Still hope for a billiard table in Des Moines

    I've stopped in Big Dog Billiards a few times over the last couple of months. Last Tues. was the most encouraging yet. Jeremy said they had a table in the back but were having trouble trying to find a spot for it. Which is the best response I've gotten yet. Thanks to all the players who...

    Forgive my ignorance but what does it mean to re-cut the points. I enjoy looking at these sticks. Someday I'm gonna have one.

    3Kushn, That would be VERY cool. Thank You. Before pushing them to buy a table I think what needs to be done is to show them there are players that would use the table. JJ thanks. Tell your friends to stop in and talk to them. You know way more billiard players than I do. Maybe after a while...

I am a relative beginner to the game and also make the trip to Marshalltown to play. I really think if enough people stop in we can get a table there. I'm going to stop in again next...

    As many players in Des Moines know Big Dog Billiards has re-opened a beautiful new facility in town. One thing is missing though. A billiard table. I stopped in tonight and talked to one of the owners about putting a table in. He listened to my pitch and didn't rule it out. Although he did...
