I bought mine with the expectation to only use it as a travel case, due to the extra protection, especially the zippers that fully close the top, as opposed to snap or buckles that can open. But after about 2 days it became and remains my daily case. It's great!

Those look cool. but is the rail height different on a pool table vs. carom, given the difference in ball size? If you used these would you play with regular pool balls? Also, how much do they cost?

Didn't AtLarge find very similar performance for pros across winner and alternate break formats?

Are people just going to post political crap until this thread explodes in an aiming-thread-style flame war? That would suck, because this is otherwise one of the best and most-read threads on the internet. Have at it in NPR, not here.

Thanks, BB. Somehow the title of this thread reminded me of the "Cars for Kids" commercial and now I've got that stuck in my head. Nice Scruggses though!

Isn't that also mostly a one pocket place? (That's a good thing to me, but perhaps not for the OP.)

Pool tourneys have a vicious cycle: they always start late, so everyone expects them to start late, so everyone comes late, so pool tournaments always start late. I am in favor of efforts to break that cycle!

Probably many ways for this to happen, but here's two. 1. The two balls were spotted before; shooter just made a ball and tried to break open the balls on the spot but hit it bad. Maybe he was shooting from frozen on the head rail, or maybe the sunk ball was very deep in the pocket so that it...

Chess clock app appears to be free. The cost of clocks isn't the issue, it's making people use them right.

20 posts since this and no Richard Gere references? I really thought "put six or seven in your . . ." was going elsewhere.

It's only a slight exaggeration to say that a tournament bracket can only go as fast as its slowest match.

This makes sense. I'm well past college age and I've never had anything but a great time and friendly interactions with the counter staff at Amsterdam. In fact, I usually tell them that I always come when I'm in town, shoot the breeze a bit, get some help finding someone to play, and tip the...

I was hurrying to get the joke in before one of you two did.

It takes about 1.2 seconds for the cueball to get to the headrail and back. But on a 7' table it's only about 0.8 seconds.

Some food for thought: take a look at Philips Hue lighting (for ambient lighting, not the table). I added that to my pool room and it gives me great control over the ambiance. If I was doing it from scratch, I'd probably go with light strips but even the Hue bulbs in the canisters work very...

You finally found one that I can execute!

Except for Teslas!

I'll be damned if half your pictures look right and half don't. Maybe it was installed only halfway upside down!

You need to fix your floorplan. From what I can tell, the labels "Dining Room" and "Living Room" are switched and need to be corrected.

No Diamonds in or near the city, but 100% go to Bedrock. Very well maintained Diamonds and $10 to $15 Uber from the mall. But league will take up the tables on Monday and Tuesday. You'd have a pretty even game against Filipino Jimmie in 9-ball or 1-pocket. He'll play for social or serious...
