I wanted to upload a pic of my table in my post above, but I'm kind of a computer simpleton. I've resized one, and am going to give it a shot here. Hopefully it works. I call this shot "Ode to the Unfinished Basement."

I have an eight foot pro Olhausen Remington in my unfinished basement. It has olive Simonis 860 on it. I play on it 4-5 times a week, for about a half hour. I'd love to play more, but by the time I get my five year old twins down, I'm exhausted. I've been thinking about trying to get in the...

I have Phil Capelle's "Play Your Best Pool" and love it. Does anyone have a copy of his "Play Your Best Eight Ball" they want to sell for a reasonable price? I also might be interested in his "Play your Best Nine Ball." Thanks, David

I think there's some stuff on the Brunswick website about which presidents played pool in the white house. They also mention there being a pool table at Camp David.

I have a schmelke one piece house cue in my basement for my home table. It's nice. I may order a few more, in different weights.

Have you checked out pro-tyme billiards in Orland Park?

I'll be in Louisville for work next week. Where should I play? Just looking for nice tables, decent atmosphere, etc. Not looking for action. With Diamond being located just over the bridge, I'd imagine there have to be a lot of places with nice tables. Thanks for the info, David

I live in Munster, right down the street from that place. I could be interested. I've never really played straight pool, and my game is pretty mediocre overall. Would I still be welcome?

When I first got my table I put some nasty stab marks in my cloth trying to break too hard. Oh well, rookie mistakes.

I also want to give you a big CONGRATS!! Kids are awesome. I have four year old twins. Time to start thinking about a home table (if you can fit one in NY)....as pool hall/bar time is about to become seriously limited.

Nice room, Mr. Gale. What kind of table is that? I also like your wood floor.

Will you pass Jeanette Lee a note in gym class for me? It should read... Do you think my friend 219Dave is cute? ___ check here for yes ___ check here for no

From what I could tell he loved to ask a lot of questions and then not listen to the answers. And complain constantly about how much his life and his pool game sucked. That being said, I didn't really think he was ban-worthy. It's not like he ever ripped anyone off on a cue deal, threatened...

Hi Guys, I'm the original poster here. I really didn't want to turn this into a long debate on whether or not you guys like Predators shaft, OB1 shafts etc. Those of you who commented here that that is a long, tired, played out debate are right. I have no more desire to read that debate...

Next time you play her you should insist that she pull your finger.

That's funny that you mention that scene in The Breakup. I, probably like many guys here, had the "why can't we put the pool table in the dining room" discussion with my wife, right before putting the table in our unfinished basement. When we saw the movie in the theater I turned to her and...

Awesome table. What are the stains, and cloth brand and color? How do you like having a contrasting rail cloth color?

There's another series that they have, the new BR series, that for some reason Billiardwarehouse has not yet put up on their website. They will order it for you, however. You can see it on the schmelkecues.com website. I think the butt has a slightly slimmer butt and the shaft may have a...

Cue Pimp? Don't think I've heard that one before. Do they have a certain walk, style of hat, and love old Cadillac Eldorados?

I'd like to add Viking to my previous answer. Now that they discontinued the F series, you can get great deals on them. Go to Billiardwarehouse.com, check out the F-95 on the Viking page, choose the wrap, shaft taper and tip. I did that with the F98, went with the natural stain and got a nice...
