Dave 'n' Busters get very expensive. Here in southern California I've seen $20 per hour on weekends and they always seem to have a waiting list. (However that was last year, it may be different now!) Not the best tables, no Simonis, etc. but a clean atmosphere and reasonable food. They are...

Thanks, I'd seen all of those before except that "Bolero" table from the Tresserra collection. That looks like some exceptional craftsmanship and design.

Props to you for your craftsmanship Glen, but in this day and age of CNC machinery it boggles the mind that a company like Brunswick can't get their tolerances better, especially on their flagship commercial/tournament table. I recall hearing that Gabriels build their tables on CNC systems so...

Just a couple of quick suggestions and comments: If you are seriously looking for equipment for setting up your own room try Jay Helfert, who always seems to have a line on available commercial 9' tables. You might also want to try Gary's Billiards in Victorville, who also list tables here...

Nice posts Lou but given the caliber of players you are mixing it up with these days you really ought to requisition yourself a real Pool player's name. It has to add at least a ball to you game. Suggestions anyone?

Yes, I have this match on an old Accustats VHS tape. It's one of those shots that come up so occasionally, but if you are a very good player who practices them every so often can work out spectacularly.

I've only had one Sniper which is on my main OB-1 playing shaft. It's main plus point is that it has lasted very well. (Been on for over a year, no delamination problems etc. so far) The downsides are it does tend to get a bit glazed with play and that it still after all this time tends to...

Thanks for that! I'm pretty sure I heard a "clean" version of this on a local Blues radio show a few years ago and had been trying to find it so I could post it here!

I have to say that several years ago (before Mr. Schuler passed away) I had heard great things about his cues and wanted to buy one. I found a local retailed here in CA who had a few cues in stock and when I went to look at them I was very disappointed with the build quality, especially around...

I'll see what I can do. It looks just like any other wrapless BK1!

Do layered tips count as modern? I don't know how long they have been around, but I love modern tips like Kamui's compared to the Triangles and Le Pros I used to use a few years ago.

I have to say that since getting into Pool in the USA I can see a difference with the way non-Pool players look at Pool players, as opposed to players of other sports like Tennis, Golf, etc. The reason for this I feel is that there is such little exposure to the true Professional players of...

It certainly makes it harder, but this thread does have some relevant posts with some reasonably useful information in it, so clearly it does not make it impossible. There is no question that the OP can stand to learn some better forum manners and could have expressed themselves much better from...

I'm genuinely confused why you are confused. I'm not sure what did I not understand correctly. As I see it the O.P. comes into town, plays in the handicapped tournament with the locals, wins, comes back the next day to play some with the same locals and gets thrown out by the manager for either...

Great, I get all this popcorn popped for nothing! Yeesh. Seriously though, there is a good point under all this, which is the utter dearth of any good quality, independent comparative reviews of Billiards equipment and services. Pretty much the only way to get anything close it to read forums...

If you can't deliver the tip of the cue in a straight line to the selected point on the cue ball either you cue is hopelessly warped or your stroke mechanics and/or stance are faulty. You can try doing some standard exercises (E.G. Shooting the cue ball to a rail and trying to get it to come...

Well I guess now we all know what you did for the rest of the day after you got thrown out of Q-Masters. ;-) Seriously though, a locals-only policy would be sensible to enforce if the local regulars feel a stranger is trying to rip them off. If the local regulars have played you in the...

I have one that I bought brand new when they first came out and I love it. I've had a few other break cues, including both gen1 and 2 X-Breakers and a Stinger, but keep going back to my trusty BK1. I just can't seem to find anything that breaks better! I wasn't really planning to sell it...

No soup for you!

No wonder he gets so little work done then, if he has to wade through all the crap we post here before he can accept an order from someone. Maybe he ought to setup some kind of reciprocal information sharing agreement with Santa to save time? Then again I guess proof positive that Santa don't...
