    Getting Started....

    For me, there has been no greater joy than sharing my love of sports with my offspring. Watching them grow and learn is the best, especially when they start beating you at your own game. I have two sons that kick my butt at disc golf that I used to take them out to play. Wait till you get to...

    What's your opinion?

    BCA league ended and last night was payouts. After we got our money, those that wanted to paid $5 to play in a blind draw Scotch Doubles tournament where the lowest point scorers for the session were matched with the highest point scorers with a mix of Masters and Open players. One of my...

    can anyone tell me

    Why, yes, I think someone can. Which words are you having trouble with? We have pot or potting for pocketing. We have side for left or right english. We have nap for the little threads that stick up in one direction on the table cloth. We have screw for reverse english. We have rake for the...

    Something that no one seems to want to talk about...

    I feel too uncomfortable, really, to discuss this topic.

    Patriotism or pool?

    This seems to me to be a rather simplistic view of economics. Since time immemorial, people have traded with people outside their local economy simply because not every locality has the resources to provide everything that people want or perceive a need for. I'm no economic genius either, but...

    Newbe

    My Brunswick is quite a bit older than yours, but I went through a similar process of refinishing it. I wanted my table to play like almost all of the snooker tables I've ever played on (west coast of US), so I went with Simonis 760. It is very fast, but achieved what I was looking for. I...

    15-ball rotation...with a twist

    I've been playing this with my wife and grandkids for a few years. Definitely keeps me on my toes when playing them. Glad you figured it out!

    Goldenwest Billiards Mfg, Portland, OR.

    I bought a Golden West table from the Portland factory several years ago now. They delivered it and set it up late Friday afternoon, so of course the mechanics were more concerned about getting out of there than doing a good job. A slate seam popped a few weeks later. When they came back out...

    Is there a pool table in your home?

    I have a Brunswick and a Golden West, so I voted Golden West as it hadn't gotten any votes yet.

    Kick balls to the pocket....how often

    I am by no means going to be able to provide you with a system that will enable you to usually make the type of kick that you are talking about, but I do shoot them quite frequently and have been known to make a few. I don't usually worry too much about the cue ball, but will try to use...

    Snooker - 2011 Masters Starts Sunday

    Thanks a bunch for the heads up. I consider myself pretty good at math, but I'll be darned if I can figure out your puzzle here... If I subtract 5 hours from 8:30 am, I should get 3:30 am. If I subtract 5 hours from 2 pm, I should get 9 am. I don't know how to get 2 pm by subtracting 5 hours...

    Going to Kalispell today ...

    I'd be overjoyed just to be going to Kalispell, let alone paying for a snooker table, too! Enjoy!

    Schmelke Cues

    I have one that's my main player. I think they are a great company that cares about their customers and offers a great product for a very reasonable price. I bought one when I bought my pool table because it had a skinny tip on it (8 mm). Well, the shaft was way to skinny for playing pool...

    Which Table Size (10 Ft or 12 Ft) Do You Perfer?

    While I would prefer to play on a 12' table, there is absolutely plenty of enjoyment to be had on a smaller table. I seriously don't understand why anyone would feel compelled to be a snob about it. If the amount of room and availability dictate a smaller table, then there is nothing wrong...
