This is the way I look at it. I'll compare a pool cue to a guitar. If you don't know how to play guitar, it doesn't matter if you have a '57 Les Paul or a beat up copy. Sure, you can own one and look at it but you'll sound terrible trying to play it. It doesn't matter how incredible the guitar...

If my table could talk! Last time? 2 weeks ago… My table sees a lot of action, not the type usually mentioned around here! :p

Thanks! That was fun to read!

I have four sets of balls. Cyclop Skittles, Super Aramith Pro TV, Brunswick Centennials and a set of Reds & Yellows from England. I have a problem getting ANY of them in the freaking pockets! http://www.letsgokings.com/gallery/files/1/2/0/img_1739.jpg

I played this guy recently, who played nothing but safeties. One after the other! It was so frustrating. But, I figured eventually, he's going to make a mistake. He did and I ran out on him. Yeah, it's way more mental than I ever thought. I believe in a positive mental attitude. I just need to...

I'm a fan of Blue Diamond. Out of the three i've tried- Masters, Predator and Blue Diamond…It's the one I like the best. Ask 25 people, you'll get 25 different answers. Find the one YOU like!

I so relate to this…My pool mentor says to me one time "Marshall, you play well, but you can't finish!" Every f'n time I'm down to the last ball, I hear him say it. It's frustrating! However, I've learned to FINISH my last ball. I sink that puppy. Give me a chance and I will bury it. It took a...

That was fun to look at!

Didn't the guy in the Hustler shirt write the screen play to the movie? I remember something like that. I may be wrong, but he wrote and played the lead in his own film. That's pretty awesome in my book! Good for him..

I really want to say something funny and sarcastic, but I won't. It's really difficult to NOT say it… I won't say it……. AAAAAGH!

I'll never give up my McDermott C-21 I got it in a pawn shop…I never actually seen one, I've just heard about them. I HAD to pull the trigger. I didn't NEED it, I WANTED it...

My Father in Law is in town this weekend. He's a pretty good player. He won't let me play him right handed. I hafta play him left handed! I beat him 2 outta three games playing left handed tonight. Little does he know that I practice left against right pretty often. A few years back, I watched...

Here's a little background on me. I'm 53, I've played pool off & on my entire life. In my 20's, I played a lot. I've always just been an average player. Nothing great, I've always just enjoyed the game. I've also never played in leagues or tournaments. I guess I was what you guys call a...

First off, I'm not that great. I play, I have fun, I'm trying to get better. I racked the balls using the pattern 10 times. I didn't run out once. Yes, I made 2 or 3 balls on each break, but I was never really had good position for the next shot?!?! After trying this, I just realized that I...

I have two daughters, 10 and 11 They know about my cues and what they're worth. I think they'll want to keep them? I hope they do? I wonder the same thing. I hope they aren't sold for what I told my wife I bought them for! :wink: My kids enjoy shooting pool. We have a table in our house, in my...

That was a very fun post to read! Thank you for the effort involved and the time spent… I'm very lucky, getting our own table in the house was my wife's idea! She doesn't even play! She is happy when I am happy. I am home playing pool most nights. My Man Cave is adjacent to the kitchen, She...

I just decided (because I'm crazy) to get all three sets…I know, i'm nuts…I bought one set a year for the last 4 years. Not all at once, there's NO WAY I could explain that to my wife! I honestly don't have a preference, I'm not good enough to be able to tell the difference? I like how the...

We live in Las Vegas and we went to Los Angeles to visit my wife's family. Christmas morning, in my stocking I got a box of blue chalk?!?! Really? WTF? I have red felt on my table! Well, she showed me a picture of my table with blue Simonis felt already on it! OMFG! I have the coolest wife ever...

Like others have stated- I have a cheap, ugly Sneaky Pete. That's the cue I use on league night. However, I've grown quite attached to this cue because I tend to use it more than any other cue I have now! I'd be crushed if it was stolen. I keep mine in a claw and never lose sight of it. I bring...

Buh bye Pool Sharks! I feel the same way. Lotsa gang members, obvious drug use, too much smoke and an unwelcoming environment.
