The cloth on some tables can be glued instead of stapled. It depends on the way the table is constructed. I've re-covered tables where the cloth was stapled, but after removing the rail assembly, saw that it was possible to glue the cloth instead. It's nice to be able to do that because it makes...

I re-covered a table in a garage once and although the cloth was pulled very tight, the customer called me a couple of days later and complained that the cloth had become very loose. I figured it was the humidity in the garage and recommended he use a hair dryer on the table. He called me back...

Golf is a game of misses. Pool is a game of perfection.

A man once told me that professional golf was more difficult than professional pool. I told him that comparison could only be made by someone who was an expert in both.

I experienced a very similar situation. The game was call pocket eight-ball. While running a table, I set myself up for a three ball, cross-corner, combination shot. The middle ball was the eight ball. I made the shot and my opponent immediately yelled foul. He told me using the eight ball in a...

I clean and polish the balls and the tray before I return them to the register. (Nah...just kidding).

If you're playing 'cue-ball fouls only', touching an object ball shouldn't be a foul.

The notion that 'John Wick' plays a respectable game doesn't really surprise me.

Pool has always flourished when the economy is bad. People need inexpensive forms of entertainment. If you want to open a pool room, follow the three L's - Location, Location, Location!

I once shot the wrong ball during a match because of it's color. I've always thought that pocket billiard balls should be a standard color. People are always trying to change things that should be left alone. They tried to change the PayDay candy bar numerous times over the years, but so many...

You just pretty much described 'The Color Of Money'.

Guy - I'm also an old man, and after 30 years, stopped smoking in 2000. We can forget about smoking in the movie. We need to promote an up-to-date image.

OK, but no one is going to pay money to watch a 'Guy' run racks of balls, are they?

It's true that 'family' pool rooms are populated by kids and parents, and that's fine. I'm glad that smoking is prohibited. It stunk up the rooms. Drinking is still allowed in many establishments but you can't play great pool if you're drunk, no matter what Fats and Eddie did in 'The Hustler'...

'Tradition and heritage is loss when people start deciding what a pool player body type should be.' Isn't that what you just did?
