    Are there cues that have fallen out of favor with players?

    It appears to me that the technology advances in Cue making has done 2 really important things. 1) The consumer can get a pretty darn good cue (compared to 20 years ago) at almost all of the lower price points. 2) The overall cost of a cue for the consumer has come down as has the price of...

    Diamond Pool Table from Factory

    Hi, I'm in CT and yes I too had a longer than expected wait for mine. That was back in early 2009. But when I got it, unbridled joy & excitement filled my veins, lol. My suggestion, remember that you've bought the best table on the planet. Diamond places a premium on customer satisfaction...

    Coming back after many years. Have questions.

    First of all, welcome back! The game is the same yet it's also better than ever and it's missed you. The technology is better; cues, shafts, tips, balls, cloth, lighting, rails & of course tables. Allegedly the chalk is even better, I think that's just clever marketing, lol. Good gear is a...

    Do you see your favorite pro pool players in the same way that you see celebrities?

    Yes, absolutely. Meeting Mike Sigel this year was an awesome thing...and I have to admit, on my bucket list. Back in either the very late 80s or the very early 90's I went to one of the BCA trade shows in Kentucky. The night before the expo was a charity event and the whole pool world was...

    Recmoment a custom cue maker

    I truly don't know if Nitti cues are the best in the world or not, but I've never, ever seen a better website for cues. The hi def photography is amazing. If he takes that much care with the visual presentation of his cues, I have to imagine his attention to craftsmanship & detail is even...

    Need some insight, re: The Hustler

    That's completely incorrect. First of all, Julian's was not in the film (I've been there, I know what the room looked like). Second, the original Julian's on East 14th Street (in the same building as the famed Palladium, a live music venue & later a Nightclub) is long gone. In the mid 1990's...

    1963 Brunswick Billards promotion

    What a gem of a share, thank you! The Golden Cue in Albany, NY looked very much like the room in the video even as late as the early 90s. I remember the first time I walked in...I thought I had just been transported back 20 or 30 years. That room is still open today and has visible signs of...

    Action Killers and Pool Hall Etiquette

    To settle this philosophical conundrum, need we anything more than the sage wisdom of Joe Pant's iconic portrayal of Guido, the Killer Pimp? "Never, ever ***** with another man's livelihood" Nuff said :cool:

    Action Killers and Pool Hall Etiquette

    Awesome response and very well written. Agreed. I also agree that, as someone above had said, sharing your opinion with a friend and protecting kids are more than acceptable exceptions. What I'm addressing as a slippery slope to a Nanny state is the thinking/logic of someone who...

    Action Killers and Pool Hall Etiquette

    You're entitled to your feelings...but at the end of the day, they're exactly that, just feelings. Having said that, I'd be careful about the choices & actions you take in a Pool Hall. Many a person who's done what you're advocating has met with some horrible consequences. Let me be clear...

    Action Killers and Pool Hall Etiquette

    It was my understanding that that the Golden Rule was you never knock anyone's action. If the pigeon was, you know, mentally retarded or something, then I can see intervening and standing up for the guy. Short of that, we all know the rules, and most of us have paid the tuition at one time...

    Buddy Hall Back up singer for Jackson Browne.

    That back-up singer is quite obviously a woman. The back-up singer next to her looks an awful lot like Cecil.:p:rotflmao1:

    Anyone have a source for Nice Looking Joint Protectors?

    Does anyone have a source high-end Joint Protectors? I mean beside the ones on eBay. I'm looking for a nice set for my Tim Scruggs Brunswick Willie Hoppe Titlist Conversion (5/16x14). A set of actual Tim Scruggs Joint Protectors would be amazing! Thanx! -Z-

    What is my table worth?

    Anyone remember the Sanford & Son episode "A House Is Not A Pool Hall"? and how they got the Pool Table out of Fred's house?
