What do you mean by "true pool"? 8-ball? 10-ball? :)

I've seen that table first-hand. Last time I was there, the table appeared to have been booked in advance! At any rate, there was a small line of people waiting to get on it. @C&C: do you have a 7ft/bar table that is not coin-operated? Thanks.

Thanks. What do you mean by "ginseng packets"?

I joined an 8-ball league a few weeks back. Of course, the games are watched closely by all members of both teams at close quarters. I find this somewhat unnerving, and suffer from performance anxiety. While playing my league games, my heart speeds up, I sweat, I feel slightly weak, I get a...

I understand ten-ball is growing in popularity, especially among some professionals. As far as I can see it is harder than 9-ball because: - the greater number of balls to sink to win - harder to pocket balls off the break (as in 8-ball) - a 10-ball pocketed off the break does not win the...

Cue and Cushion is an awesome place. It's just down the road from me. Best billiards parlor I've been to.

ESPN shows 9-ball sometimes. And AT&T Uverse offers some sports channels, several of which are showing the Mosconi Cup in Las Vegas at the moment.

Hi Guys - me again. I'm considering buying a new cue. My price range is $200-$400. My specs are: - 58" long (this is about the right length for a 5ft 10" male?) - 19 oz - 13 mm shaft diameter - maple shaft - steel joint (is this the best type of joint?) - Irish linnen or leather wrap - stiff...

Hey All, I'm looking for a practice partner in the Saint Louis city area. Must be APA skill level 4-5. Available on an evening or weekend, but also daytime practice may be possible. 8-ball or 9-ball, or both. Bar table and/or 9 ft table. Pls message me if interested. Cheers!

Hi Guys, Does 8-ball ever appear on US television? All I ever see is 9-ball. This seems somewhat ironic to me as I believe I'm right in saying that most amateur players actually play 8-ball? Thanks for your response.

Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum. I've recently started playing in an APA 8-ball league and find, despite owning the APA rules booklet, that I am unclear on some issues. Can anyone answer my queries? Thanks! : 1) If you hit one of your balls legally and then one of your balls goes down, and then...

Test! Just testing...
