    Parents Against Pool Rooms.....Please Share Your Stories

    When I was in high school, my parents thought it was time for me to get a job. To that end, one summer they bought me and my little brother paint, stencils, tape, and brushes and sent us out to paint house numbers on the curb. When we first started out, we did what we were told and spent the...

    Shoehorning a table into a slightly-too-small space

    I think I'd go for the L-shaped room. It is kind of a bummer not being able to get fully down in your stance, but not undoable. My snooker table and pool table are close enough together that my butt hits the rail on the other table when shooting off the rail. Basically, it turns a sure thing...

    What would you do, my patience is running out

    When I first moused over this thread to see what it was about, a little box popped up that had this written in it "I tell her over and over she has to keep one foot on the floor but she just won't listen." and what looked like a link to a picture. That's when I knew it probably wasn't safe for...

    Tips to make an beginner better...article for magazine

    I can't believe nobody mentioned this, the greatest tip for being the best at pool. Drink more beer! If you aren't shooting like Efren, you haven't consumed enough.

    Which Pro Do You Find Most Attractive?

    This whole thread is so profoundly offensive to me, that I will be commiting ritual seppuku at dawn on the morrow. I have carefully honed my OB-1 to a BB radius for this purpose. Please, do not mourn my passing as I will be unable to reciprocate.

    Guess Who and Where

    The "Q Wall of Fame" should be a dead giveaway as soon as we can find someone who recognizes it. The "Q" would be part of the name of the pool hall, I would think.

    Canned food drive for WPBA?

    Seems like every friggin' time I watch the WPBA on ESPN, Mitch or Ewa states how hungry (really/very hungry) the players are. Should we take up a canned food drive or something? :p It seems like anyone with a reasonable grasp of the English language should be able to find another way of...

    buying antique table

    I have a Madison snooker table that I refinished. I love having it, even though it doesn't play perfect. Let me know if you have any questions. I have before and after pictures if you are interested.

    Antique(rebuilt) vs Modern table

    It's going to depend a lot on the condition of the slate and the skill of the installer. I have a Madison snooker table. I spent a lot of time refinishing the table and wanted to make sure that it was installed correctly. When installation day arrived, it was one nightmare after another. The...

    Spitting pockets

    This is a table from 1926. It has the pockets formed over the irons. The upper part of the pocket is thick like a baseball glove. It tapers down into the pocket. Once the leather is under the iron, it thins down to just two flaps. These flaps are then sewn together over one side of the...

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I think the fastest way to get in stroke on the bar table is to slow down your game a notch or two and play as much as you can at pocket speed. An easier way to make this more comfortable is to start doing it at home or whereever it is that you practice regularly on the big table. I think most...

    Spitting pockets

    Thanks for the suggestions. The pockets are attached to the irons. The irons go into holes in the rail and a bolt comes up from below to go through the hole in the iron. The leather isn't tacked to the rail. I've been spending a little time here and there rubbing the leather in an attempt to...

    Stinky situation

    Toilet paper drenched in your favorite perfume/cologne and stuffed up each nostril. Alternatively, keep a bottle of your favorite scent in your bag. When he shows up, loosen the top and accidentally trip while tossing the contents in his direction. Have different teammates do this to him each...
