    Russian pool questions

    I totally agree with you there! I would actually love to play the real thing with the correct size table and balls but odds are against me out here. I love discovering fascinating games from around the world.

    Russian pool questions

    Well I think my best bet is to play on an 8ft table using russian style billiard balls is to find a set in 2 1/4". We've pretty much established that I won't capture the essence of the sport really with my table. So basically what I want is a set of Russian Pyramid style billiard balls that are...

    Russian pool questions

    This is true. I probably would not be able to recreate the nature of the russian pyramid game with a standard pool table. The best thing I could do is to (if I'm lucky) find a 2 1/4" Russian Ball set to play with on my 8ft table using Pyramid rules, but it would only be for the novelty of the...

    Russian pool questions

    Alright, so a few things have come to my attention. Apparently there are manufactures who make Russian Billiard sets for 4x8ft tables. Unfortunately I don't know where to find any of these companies other then directly from Russia I bet and I don't know a word of Russian. Another key factor of...

    Where to buy? What size? Books? Specialty sets?

    There's a fun fact I didn't know. Well, when I was a kid I used to get my hotwheels stuck in my dad's table that way. lol When I got older and started playing pool I found about 20 vintage hotwheels and a few spare balls inside the table. I am working on a complete rule book for billiard games...

    Where to buy? What size? Books? Specialty sets?

    Thank you! Glad I signed up!! lol That's a great idea if only I had as many quarters as I play on it! But hey, you gave me an idea; I can use that money to add to my 7 month old daughter's future rund of some kind. I love Valley tables. The sound of the ball running through the tracks in the...

    looking for these ball sets

    Who's website? Aramith does not sell directly and if they did I'm sure their prices would be much more then I could afford right now.

    Where to buy? What size? Books? Specialty sets?

    did discover Neilsen's through ebay and they have pretty fair prices. Yup, I know Snooker and Russian are traditionally played on a 12ft table however I don't have the money or space to buy a 12ft table. My table actually uses oversized cue balls, but as far as standard object ball size I'm...

    Russian pool questions

    True. If I was going to do this right I would get the right table and right size russian ball set. However, I do not have the money or space for this. I read that they make Russian pyramid sets for smaller tables including the 4x8ft and while yes, I can just use the regular billiard ball set...

    Russian pool questions

    Okay, I normally stick to 8-Ball but I want to branch out and collect pool ball sets for different games like Snooker. One game that I'm really having trouble finding is Russian Billiards or Pyramid. I use a coin-op 8ft table so I want to know what size is best on an 8ft table. Do they make 2...

    Hello everyone! I just found and signed up for this site so hopefully I can learn a few things here. I have a one piece slate, coin-op, 8ft Valley table that I bought used from a music vend supplier. Love the table. My dad had one just like it when I was a kid. To start off here, I'm familiar...
