    Match Dispute... How would you call it?

    So this situation involves girls and timing... The Pretext: I got a text asking to play a race to 3 for $10 bucks to start. We were both kind of pressed for time.

    Best pool movies

    I totally agree about the soundtrack. They did such a great job with the music throughout the movie. I really like Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" playing during the match vs Mosselle. It was such a good fit, especially the part "his hair was perfect" and Tom Cruise is totally singing...

    Who makes the best cue in the $175 to $250 price range?

    Best pool movies

    I agree with James. I don't care what you say about TCOM, it's a spectacular movie. Even non-pool playing friends that I've made sit through it end up enjoying it by the time they hit the road. I watch at least parts of it all the time. Especially when I'm excited about going to play. It just...

    Who makes the best cue in the $175 to $250 price range?

    McDermott has 2 different lower end brands available. The two different brands are called "Lucky" and "Star". Both of these lines and made in China but I like how the company describes them as internationally manufactured ;) The Lucky line is less expensive but still delivers a quality hit, the...

    Hello AZB! I am trying to get a few good books on billiards technique and strategy. The 8-Ball bible is at the top of my list but I have to wait for the revision before I buy my copy. In the mean time I know there are a ton of books out there but only a few are any good. So to help me in my...

    I play a lot of bar box 8-Ball... I come across this book 8-Ball Bible: A Guide to Bar Table Play by R. Givens and it looks to be a good read. It's touted to be the definitive text on bar box 8-Ball and seem to have good reviews but you how hard those could be to trust. So, have you read it,or...

    Joss cue. Your thoughts...

    So I was just checking out craigslist and I come across this Joss. The guy only wants $150, and says it's hardly been used so it's in almost brand new condition. It's a nice looking cue but then I started thinking is this too good to be true... I'm concerned about counterfeits but the pictures...

    Pool trickshot video

    Not a bad video kid. You have some pretty good shot skills indeed. You should check out the videos by PrayingMantis72. Some of his video quality is poor but the shots and skills are outstanding. Either way. You shoot good. Keep up the good work.

    If you had the money and time, what city would you go to first to play pool?

    Great thread Boss! I was just thinking this exact same thing yesterday after my match. At first I was just thinking about the action but then I started to realize the caliber of players to be more important especially considering I "have" time and money. Of course the first place I would have...
