    What do you think is the reason for so many good pool halls closing?

    I think pool halls fall into the same category as many other businesses in these times, and that is simply, if you don't use a sustainable business model, you won't' succeed. You can get by with a crappy plan in the fat times, but as soon as it's lean you will fail. This applies to almost all...

    Sterling Wave case - best choice in this price range ?

    I own one of the 3x5 cases and I love it. The first time I fully loaded it, it seemed you have to 'stretch' the interior a bit, but now it works better than any other case I have ever owned. The interior is first class, but i think all the other features are what makes this case shine. The...

    League payback

    One other thing to consider is if the league in question has any sort of non-team tournament. My local league here pays well for the top 16 in the state tournament, which my team qualifies for without an entry fee more than half the time, but they also have a fairly large singles tournament...

    Pool table light design for 8 foot table, self build

    While your offset setup seems good - you mentioned the cost was too high for 24" bulbs. Have you looked at the U shaped bulbs? they are usually 22.5 ish inches and I think they run around $10 each. It would require figuring in the width also, but might give more even lighting.

    Why the disdain?

    As you can see from my post count I'm new here and perhaps this has been answered a million times.....but why do people have to reply to honest questions with "Type that question into Google and get X million answers kthxbai" This forum is 'Ask the cuemaker' - presumably because you want an...

    Best story for putting a banger down

    I was at a borderline dive bar because my wife wanted to watch the band playing. We were sitting next to the pool table and there was a nice middle-aged couple playing just to have some fun. Then the local loud mouth strolls in and fills all the quarter spots and demands the couple play...

    Was I wrong for not telling my opponent he's shooting the wrong ball?!?!

    A question to clarify a point that is being debated here... *if* a referee is present in a match would they inform a player they are shooting at the wrong ball before they shoot? Or just inform them they fouled afterwards? The referees I have dealt with in tournaments refuse to give you advice...

    Legal shot?

    IMO saying that you contacted a ball because you started frozen against it would be the same as claiming you hit a rail because you started frozen against it. Foul, but an honest mistake, and you learned from it.

    Are We Gullible Sheep?

    I think some of the things that have been mentioned are 'gimmicks' but some of the others are useful tools for the right people. If you take someone that has never played pool and give them a skill level of 0, and make an Efren Reyes a 100. Some of these gimmicky tools will help someone go from...

    Prince's Pool Table ???

    Buy that and all you would need is a couple of those 60's white plastic 'egg' chairs to complete the look.

    Was I wrong for not telling my opponent he's shooting the wrong ball?!?!

    I think the only time you should be 'helpful' is if you are aware your opponent is new to your format or a new player in general. I play in a league where many teams are constantly rotating in new players, and if one of them is about to make a stupid mistake I will tell them - mostly because I...
