    could you play pool without 'rail after contact' rule?

    I think it's doable, but not very wise - it might end disputes about something hitting the rail or not, but as soon as some good players started playing lock up safeties every shot because they can just tap into a ball, people would want it changed back, or they would want additional rules to...

    Tightning up pockets on a Bar table

    Here are pictures of a set of Ridgeback Pro rails on a Valley from the 70's. The only modification that I had to make was to cut the edge of the pocket liners to accommodate the extra length on the rails.

    What happened to the cue market lately?

    I think a big driving force in the market is there are too many free options to sell cues. (not just speaking about here on AZ) If someone with a cue to sell doesn't have to pay anything to list it, or even better, to sell it (a la Facebook) then there is no impetus to reduce the price to sell...

    Cue I.D.

    Just for thought - it looks a bit like an 'S' with a sword through it... Has there ever been a 'Sword Cues'?

    <O> A Holes Billiards Website FINALLY <O>

    I will look more in depth later, but at first glance.. Well done having a 'sold cue' page - I hate scrolling on other sites looking at cues and they are all sold. The only thing I would change in that regard is to have each sold cue clickable to view a gallery of pictures of it rather than...

    Where are all of the sticks going?

    The thing that a lot of people don't think of is the scale involved when dealing with Asian countries, especially China. The current population of China is more than 4 times that of the U.S. If 10% of the people in China wanted a pool cue, that would be the equivalent of HALF of the people in...

    Is it even possible this is real?

    it also translates to: "I'm not giving your money back, even if you prove it's fake"

    Rule on spotting 8 after break bca

    9. 8 BALL POCKETED ON THE BREAK. If the 8-ball is pocketed on the break, the breaker may ask for a rerack or have the 8-ball spotted and continue shooting. If the breaker scratches while pocketing the 8 ball on the break, the incoming player has the option of a rerack or having the 8 ball...

    Pool Hall Time Capsule For Sale

    Some of those tables look like they are growing out of the concrete, must be from being wet mopped every night for 80 years or so :) Excellent pictures, and while it is sad that such a historic place is closing, I can only hope that all the tables end up in the homes of enthusiasts where they...

    for those whose home rooms are a SMIDGE too small....

    I would think this is generally a bad idea, because nothing involved in this equation was engineered to be used at the temperatures you are talking about. Adhesives for the rails, the rails themselves, the bolt mounts holding them in, I can see them all slowly failing over time if submitted to...

    Monster cue...hits a ton...etc., etc., etc.

    I would add the new popular term I have been seeing more and more lately - 'plays like a Southwest' While I agree there are a select few cues that have that intangible feel, most of the above posters are correct, it is completely up to the holder of the cue, and can be influenced (sometimes...

    A love affair - rekindled

    15 years ago I bought my first 'real' cue - I was in the local pool hall and they had a beautiful cue that they took in on trade. It was used, but too good looking to pass up. Turned out it was a Pechauer, and I fell in love with the natural wood recuts in the points. It was a P8 from their...

    Does chalk get dried out over time?

    I think what you are referring to when you say the chalk is degrading is not drying out, but actually the opposite has happened, and the chalk got too moist at one point. This would cause the chalk to 'brick' (my technical term) :smile: Basically causing the individual chalk molecules to bond...

    Whats the call????

    But the ball in question entered the ball return system - I believe that rule is only applied if the ball comes out of the same pocket it goes in. This one traveled under the bed in the ball return system and came out another pocket. Thus should be considered pocketed.
