    Played a game on a 5' x 10' last night with Max Eberle

    First time on a beautiful, heated 5' x 10' Hermelin pool table. Not sure about the cloth but maybe being heated - the table was FAST. I lost 150 to 28, not surprising really. I had a great time at Best Billiards in Las Vegas, and the best pizza I've ever had not in Italy. Highly recommended for...

    Orlando 14.1

    You know I'd love to play with you again Joel, but I live up in PA! Headed to Las Vegas today but I will certainly call you next time I am in FL. Had a few runs in the 30's of late, really enjoying my pool time when I get it. I also have a sunken wood shaft on the way (from John Bender, not...

    Pool Rooms in Orlando/Disney Area

    I've been to Backstage Billiards but I was looking for any recommendations for a real pool hall - i.e. a place with clean balls, Simonis cloth, maintained tables and hopefully some people who play straight pool! Any suggestions (besides flying home to PA)?

    Pool Rooms in Greensboro NC?

    Thanks to everyone who replied. I've made it to Gate City three times, maybe one more trip tomorrow. One of the nicest rooms I've been to outside PA. I met several nice guys and really enjoyed playing there. If I return to this town I'll definitely come back.

    The Greatest Show On Earth

    As in, you will be streaming it? Awesome...if that is true! If I came to see it (as I live 20min away) would I need an admission ticket?

    Happy New Year - the thrill of victory...

    Hello 14.1 forum, Do you remember your first hard fought battle for victory in a match? How it felt when you came away with a win after much struggle for control of the table? I had just that experience on January 1st and I wanted to share it here if you care to read. I am playing in a 14.1...

    I-phone app for straight pool

    I have been using this one Billiards Buddy and it has met all of my needs playing 14.1 where there are no score counters or beads (like my dad's house - used it today in fact). It would be better on an iPad so we both could see the score more easily but this works fine if you have no other options.

    Successful practice session?!?

    I always take away any memories I can of any shots I played perfectly; it reinforces the feelings that I am improving every time I play, even if I don't play every shot perfectly. If I can get through one rack and break the next, right now that's a great day. But I know with some focused...

    Biggest spot you gave or received.......

    I am a fairly new player, especially to straight pool. I got to play the best player I know in my hometown (Andy Toth) and he gave me a 100 in a race to 150. I lost 150-19. We just played for $ time so it was a great cheap lesson for me on this game and just a reality check on how much fine...

    Boca Billiards Rooms

    Thanks again to all. I'm indeed staying at the Boca Resort so driving down to Ft Lauderdale or Hollywood is too far. Although sometimes we work at the Westin Diplomat on the beach in Hollywood so I'll be sure to visit the 24 hr 'pro' room next time I go. My work schedule is such that a rental...

    Boca Billiards Rooms

    Last Resort is on Federal (Hwy 1) on the northbound side just before Lindell . No signs outside besides red letters "Last Resort". Not so much as a beer sign in the window. The lady who gave me the balls, which were polished/new Pro Cups, said they don't advertise and that they are only word of...

    Boca Billiards Rooms

    Thanks to all. So far I've been to George's in Boynton Beach and I just left the Last Resort. The Last Resort shoulda been my First Stop...new Simonis, great table lighting, clean rails and clean balls, exactly the opposite of George's. I wish I hadn't burned my neck and back out playing over 7...
