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...

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...

I have a MvDermott COTM from Sept 2007 (Bolivian) w/ original shaft and an OB Classic shaft. Possible trade?

Too bad, thats probably $200 in taxi fare...

Is Cue Phoria close to Disney?

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)?

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.

Thanks for all the responses!

I'm traveling there in a few days for work. Any suggestions on nice rooms?

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?

Any Updates? Any idea what time the final will be played? Or did it start already?

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 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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Thanks - I'll be on that bus/train this afternoon...
