It is also possible she wants to be respected for her pool playing ability. The tennis player Anna Kornikova was a decent tennis player. But by far not the best. Yet because of her stunning looks she got all of the attention then finally the critics came. She could be the best tennis player...

Thanks for the advice. It does seem like it's something I'll need to see in person to get the hang of. I learn fast visually. I never played a proper game of 1pocket in my life. I watched Cliff Joyner play a match last thursday. I played a guy at my shop today who has played 1 pocket and in...

I've been getting into alternative games to pool. I'm starting to get the hang of 1pocket but it's just going to take time and practice. I'm wanting to learn more about straight pool. I'm getting my planning down but I do not know the best opening break. In 1pocket I learned that you...

Considering most of them where between the ages of 18-20 I would be delighted if my kids accomplished that much by that age. Most kids that age now adays can't decide wether to buy Natural Light or Keystone light. I don't care that they had mistress'. That has nothing to do with the...

First off. Benjamin Franklin is one of the few reasons we have the ability to talk like this. Drug users and prostitutes do cost taxpayers money. But because of our socialist programs they cost us money anyways. If we legalized prostitution and drug use we would gain tax revenue to help pay...

I have a problem with the "3 strikes" law or whatever it is called because I consider it Double Jeopardy. A clear violation of the 4th ammendment in the Bill of Rights. You do time for the crime. Not time for the crime then more time for the same crime. As for harsher penalties. We have to...

I'm wondering if there are any straight pool tournaments/leagues here in the Atlanta area. I watched a 1pocket tournament last weekend at Cues 2 and felt I learned a lot. I'm wanting to get into straight pool (and other alternatives to 9ball and 8ball) but I would like to watch some more...

I played on some Mali Worsted the other day. It's brand new so I don't know how it will act once it wears in. But I swear it played faster on a 9foot table then Simonis on an 8foot table. And it is cheaper than Simonis

Camposcues. Yours being a 9foot that might explain why you have 4 bolts instead of 3. so I could still be wrong. But the table does look different. I'll try to get a picture of it so you can compare. As for the T-rail. On modern pool tables the railes bolt from the bottom of the slate. Just...

I'm assuming that when you say "Corporate Rule" you are refering to what is believed to happen under an un-regulated capitalistic system. I couldn't disagree more with your assumption. Capitalism in it's purest form is the only way to go. Government regulation is not. For an example at how...

I think in Las Vegas you are not allowed to carry concealed. And strict gun laws have been put in place. Meaning the criminals who don't care anyways have the guns while the law abiding citizens are getting killed. As for the president. He shouldn't have 1 thing to do with cracking down on...

Wakuljr I think you might be right. I remember working on a Collender T-rail not to long ago. And thanks to a wide and shallow hunk missing on the slate and him getting Simonis cloth it was a pain to get right. Also not to long ago I got on a discussion on "Myspace" about pool table rooms...

Thanks for the advice. I'm probably going to buy a Smith & Wesson snooker cue. It's a 2peice but I don't believe it costs much. I feel it would be good to get into the sport. And as I play more and meet other snooker players I'll gain more knowledge. I'll take some pictures of the cue and...

If your garage has a window in it then you can put in a window unit Air Conditioner. I doubt you have to worry about a humidifier in Arizona much. Even if you leave the table outside.

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post questions about non-custom cues but figured it would be better here than in the endless posts in the main forum I have never played snooker in my life. But I enjoy collecting cues and buying decent cues. I do want to start playing some snooker...

I was noticing the Carom Billiards table at The Pool Room 2. I was wondering what brand it is. I saw it disassembled and was nice to see it wasn't a T-rail. It reminded me of a Diamond but I do not believe Diamond makes Carom Billiard tables. I was just curious as to what kind of table it is.

Be very careful with the pockets bolts on those diamonds. They can be a pain. If at all possible you should take the cap as one. But be very careful. If you don't lay the slate against the wall make sure your bottom slate has something to keep it off the floor. Those can be a pain to pick...

I just recently went to a terrible pool hall. Actually it was a bowling ally, pool hall, video arcade, dance club mix. Basically you take every 15 year old gang of every race and put it into one place. You'll hear Mexican music blasting followed by gangster rap followed by death metal and so...

Don't use Toilet Wax. A customer of ours tried doing it himself using that. It didn't work and it took us forever to scrape it off. The Beez wax had trouble sticking to it even after we got all off that we could. And I believe it seeped through his old cloth. Use a putty knife from your...

I've been spoiled by those pool halls from when I was a teenager. (Well not Pool Room because it wasn't there then) I would shoot at Cues 2 every day for their free pool with lunch when I had a day off from school. Every Friday night I would go to "Murphy's Brass Rails" in Athens. It was...
