There is a general rule, regardless of leagues, that anytime you break down your playing cue during a match you are tacitly admitting defeat and automatically forfeiting. (I assume this is to prevent sharking by pretending to quit so your opponent relaxes only to re-assemble your cue if they...

I learned 15-1 Last Pocket 8 Ball from the old boys at a local retirement community in Southern California. The way they play it if you shoot your last ball into the same pocket as your opponent you have the choice of continuing with playing the 8 in the same pocket, or requesting your opponent...

Given the size of a radial pin I would be concerned with how much weight this would add, especially in a very short extension. How much does a 3" and/or 6" extension with a radial pin weigh? Also is the radial pin used by Predator different from other cue makers or is it standard?

Has anyone got any experience with the Dynamic III table vs. other popular commercial style tables like the Brunswick Gold Crown and Diamond Pro? They don't get much coverage in the US but seem to be very popular in Europe and used in Euro Tour events. The Dynamic II seems to be pretty similar...

There's a fun fantasy US team you can make by just picking the top 5 players with the most appearances at the Mosconi Cup: Johnny Archer Earl Strickland Rodney Morris Shane Van Boening Corey Deuel Seems like a pretty sporty team even now. However the selection is no longer based on just...

I agree the way the table is playing does not look correct. The shelf drop looks like it is simply too deep in relation to the pocket openings. Way back in 2003 when the Mosconi Cup first came to Vegas I had a chance to chat with the mechanic who'd setup the Brunswick Gold Crown they were using...

Also left out the part about all the gambling addicts who've lost all their money, friends and family, regardless of how good, or otherwise, they were at Pool.

Thanks lumberman. The opening shot of that video shows they had a mix of GC IV, V and the (presumed) VI in the same tournament. It would be great if anyone is in contact with any of the pros playing there to get their opinion of the 3 generations side by side. (Looking at you Mr. Helfert!) The...

I work in Irvine. About the only place really close to the airport I know of is a casual sports bar called "The Classic Q" right by the airport. Strictly furniture tables (9' and 7') and mostly office workers. Quiet at lunch times if you just want to knock balls around and the food is pretty...

Any one know if the hybrid tip on the BK Rush Revo shaft will be made available for purchase so it can be installed on regular Revo shafts?

My review: This my first time trying a Digicue and it was definitely an interesting experience. I have had some professional lessons from Scott Lee in the past, have a table at home to practice on and am always interested in anything that can help me stay concentrated on my fundamentals. I...

Free cue, what's not to like? Thanks!

From the Predator rep I spoke to at a recent event other than the pad and tip these seem to be the main differences: 1) Different layering/construction of the carbon material in the shaft, although the actual taper is the same 2) Different foam inside I tried one on their stand and it did feel...

The original "The Hustler" short story from Playboy is included in the excellent Byrne's Book of Great Pool Stories, although sans any vintage smut. I read the novel version of "The Hustler" when it was reprinted in paperback a few years ago.I always wondered if the "property" they allude to at...

Used to be a bad rail on that at a Pool Hall I played at years ago, rubber on the head rail was lose and the point drooped down a good half inch. Anytime you hit it the ball would jump straight up in the air! The original question was why GC and Diamonds play different. Other than the already...

Try Golden Fleece Billiards, nice old-school feel with all Diamond tables, friendly people and staff. http://www.goldenfleecebilliards.net/

I'd like to try one of these. I believe I meet all the criteria and have an Iphone ready and waiting. I'm always open to try anything that might help my stroke, including robots, lasers, animal sacrifice, wishful thinking, magical thinking or, if all else fails, actual work.

I'll be there on Monday, I'm playing in a Masters team this year.

Aside from the missing piece of side skirt, can you spot the problem with this Gold Crown currently running on Ebay for only $4,999?
