Grace, I was just curious about what you are going to do with the "unknown" amatures that show up. Myself and a few others are going to try and make it to at least the Kitchener/Waterloo events but the only thing we have ever played in that gave you a rank was our local VNEA league. I am an 8...

Played this game a ton of times (though we play for loonies, not fives) and it is great fun. One rule we use is that if I shoot a ball in that you also have in your hand you cannot put your card down on the table until it is your turn. This makes it so a player cannot be beaten on his own turn...

This is interesting as I never knew about this type of "golf" billiards game. I have a erasable marker board that I got for a birthday that has a "golf" bnilliards game on it but it is nothing like what was stated above. There are 18 holes and each one is a different type of rack formation. All...

Maybe there's a handy AZ member out there who would like to build some chairs. I would love to add a few spectator chairs to my room but the cheapest ones I have found were about $300 each and I just don't have the kind of cash.

Well done Charles for the donation and also SD for the move. Some day when I can afford to get my Diamond I will gladly donate my table.

Maybe once every couple of weeks I will try and have a practice session only using my right hand (I'm lefty) and I would say my stroke is comparable to an average banger. I am a little on the short side (5'4") so I tend to use my right hand when the CB is on the rail. I am pretty good with the...

When I went out west I packed my cues in my suitcase diagonally but I didn't have a case at that time (the case wouldn't have fit). I bought a case while I was out there so I shipped the cues home seperate from the luggage. Didn't cost a whole lot to ship them and I felt much safer with...

I have seen a few tables that were made using old pool balls. You can cut them in half or keep them whole, put them in a frame and throw a piece of glass over top. If you don't want to use them you can send them to me :thumbup: As far as the cannon thing goes search the web on how to build a...

Well hopefully this guy gets what coming to him and all monies are returned. I shot him some red rep and a quick message. Its good to see some people looking out for eachother here. Well done to the rest of you :thumbup:

I truely laughed when I read through this thread. You guys are all saying $1.50 is far to much and some of you can still play for $.50 per game. I am gonna have to move I guess because it has been $1.50 a game around my area for two years already. Even at our big league tournament every year it...

Actually I don't have one made yet but after reading your reply I will start working on it. Hopefully I can get something to you soon. Thanks a lot.

Gil, I was just on the website and I am really liking some of those wraps. I was curious though if someone had a design or picture they liked is it possible to get a wrap made with said picture? Shorty

Its definatly going to cost you more than $50 to get another shot at her. Good win though. :thumbup:

Unless you are a big fan of bar boxes I would go with an 8 footer. Your room is almost the exact same size and layout as my game room in my basement. I have a fireplace that sticks out in one corner of my room and if you happen to have to shoot from that corner it can be a real pain in the ass...

Well I think I am tired of this topic. I am going to head home and practice using the rake :thumbup:

With the bridge in the game both short and tall players have the same ability to reach all shots on the table. With the bridge out a short player is at a disadvantage because he/she will not be able to reach the same shots as the taller player, thus making the game lopsided. When talking about...

I was hoping someone would say this. Though the bridge makes reaching the shot easier, it does not make playing the shot easier. Using the bridge is a skill on its own, just like using a jump cue, kicking a ball or hitting out of the sand in golf. Taking the bridge out of pool will make the game...

Ultra, without the rake would I get an extra spot from you because you are 8" taller than I am?

Ultra I am going to have to strongly disagree with your post. My first question to you is how tall are you? I am 5'-4" (thus the name) and I have had many shots on a 7' table that I have had to use the mechanical bridge. The length of a player's arms should not be used as a defensive strategy in...

If I ever get my room finished I will make sure to put some pictures up. I can't believe some of the set-ups that you fellow AZ'ers have.
