    Home Table vs Competition Tables

    I have a bar box in my basement, but play league on 9 footers. If I play even an hour on my basement table it screws me up for at least 3/4 hours when I go to a 9 footer. I hate it, so hardly use my basement table. Which is also why I've been feverishly looking for a nine foot gc1 or gc2...

    A game of pool

    For those digging on the old Twilight Zone episodes: syfy had a huge marathon the other day, and a simple YouTube check showed all the old episodes are up on YouTube. Here's a list of episodes, do a search on YouTube, they are all up...

    A game of pool

    Its kind of odd how we both set to post the exact same thing at almost the exact same time. I've been watching the marathon all morning, and awhile ago at the end of "Death's head revisited" (which is also up on youtube) I was reminded of A Game Of Pool and looked it up on youtube to watch it...

    Say a prayer for cole

    I wish I could link it right now, but cole's twister banks against Luat...holy crap. He made Em effortlessly too. What a legendary and amazing player. Wish him all the best, hope his recovery is swift and complete, look forward to him competing again!

    34 bags of sand

    I'll bet anyone here straight up for as many bags of sand as you want. 100, 500....heck 1000 bags of sand is no problem at all. I'm not the best shooter but I have guts and heart and I bet most would be intimidated and shaky playing for all those precious bags of sand. Come get some, high...

    So is there footage of the famous 1990's Challenge of Champions dumping scandal?

    Well after finally watching it....hmm. Was pretty sad, but not as painfully obvious as had been made out before. I mean, yes ,obvious, but for folks who knows nothing of pool and only little about the players, probably not so much. Spanish mike missed fairly unsurprising shots, but...

    Which state has the best shooters?

    Arizona has some great talent. Not just phx but Tucson too. Tis is AZ billiards after all. Hint: the AZ did not originally mean "A to Z" ;)

    Thea leveling

    Mac post some pics of the Indian penny rail 'diamonds', those always looked so cool. Haven't seen a Thea table in years. I honestly didn't know rich even worked on tables. He's quite the character, and man could he play when I was watching him in tournaments 15/20 years ago. He was a monster...

    pool table identification...

    Weird thing is, it's only the foot rail that's like that, which seems really weird. I'm wondering if it's an ok table someone butchered? I'd love to know what kind it is, the price is certainly right.

    pool table identification...

    Good morning and Merry Christmas! I recently ran across a table for sale, but not sure who made it and what model it is? These are the only photos. At first I was thinking Gold Crown, but there is no B logo by the ball storage area, and I thought all the older Gold Crowns had TWO...

    What games should be included when considering the ALL AROUND best player?

    I don't see anything as all around as one pocket. Even straight pool. There's so much going on in a good game of one pocket it is amazing. Truly the chess of the pool world. Shots can come up in that game where you will literally gasp and think "holy sh1t...nice SHOT!" and that isn't just on...

    Does your League Operator act like a Dictator?

    Not currently, no. Had one in the past that wasn't a dictator...more like a king. He collected taxes, paid out nothing, and nobody ever saw him, except for very rare appearances once a year or so. Didn't sour me to leagues though, there's bad apples in every bunch. Edit: funniest thing...

    Would you help your opponent??

    Did you really just equate your league game to an nfl game? That's the exact mindset I was talking about. If you were at nationals with thousands of dollars on the line, it would be understandable...but an in-house league? Please. It isn't hard to just not be a jackass. The guy used a...

    Would you help your opponent??

    Leagues are hilarious. People take it so frigging serious...like they are playing in the US open instead of a faceless, meaningless league match in a pool hall somewhere. Even funnier,the ones who take it deadly serious almost never gamble. It's just a league match. Not being a douche, or not...

    What is your Great Idea to Create more Pool Players

    Disclaimer: no answers in this post, just an observation. Hope this isn't useless, but: Pool lacks exposure to young people. Nowadays the only places to really play are bars and halls that are 21and over. Sure there are all ages pool halls, but they are few, and without more widespread...

    Bar Rules = Angry Cowboy

    Maybe so lol! It's the same everywhere though. Bar pool just is what it is. Forgot one more rule: don't be "that guy" who brings his two piece or custom into a frigging bar to shoot pool.

    Bar Rules = Angry Cowboy

    That's pretty smart. Probably seen that move with my own eyes and never realized it, haha

    Bar Rules = Angry Cowboy

    Bar pool /= real tourney style pool. I spent well over a decade working in bars and have seen literally dozens of people get embroiled in an ass whipping trying to play real pool in a bar. Nothing against bar pool, but it just isn't the same thing. Bar pool tips: Shoot. Shoot every time...

    Cultural Differences Between English & USA Spectators - Re: Mosconi Cup

    Wait wait....boorish trashy behavior by Brit fans during a mosconi cup!? No way! Oh wait, it's a matchroom event....big shocker. Edit: I actually thought this year was fairly mild. Absolutely nothing compared to the loud yelling and sharking during matches of years previous.
