    New 9-Ball Game! This is the one...

    Hey pinks, this game needs a name. Did you make this up or did you get it from someone else? If it was you, then you should do the honors; otherwise, tell us what it is called, please. [a couple of suggestions: Rotation Snooker, 9-Ball Option]

    About to order custom pool glasses - any ideas ?

    I know someone who plays w/ the HyWyd glassses and he loves them. The design looks great to me, and I'd love to get a pair some day soon. He did tell me that you should be sure to mention you are getting them to play pool when you order, and they will know just how to set them up for you-...

    Idea for a new game

    No, but seriously... Funny you should joke about this. I was thinking it would be fun to play a game almost exactly like curling (but without the brushes) on a billiards table (no pockets). Just draw a similar target on one end of the table and try to place your balls near the center and...

    What to do with so many books?

    Or you could donate the books to a pool school. Everyone seems to say great things about the Cuetech school in Dallas. Maybe some place like that could set up a little library for their students to use (in house only, no borrowing).

    What to do with so many books?

    If you know a good coach whom you trust, you could donate the books to that person so that he/she could share them with students.

    What to do with so many books?

    I don't see how you could possibly share them with a wide audience without taking an even bigger risk of loss and/or damage. The library certainly has that risk, but any other method of sharing would be the same or worse. You could try donating them to a local pool hall to set up an in house...

    Bump I really like this idea, so I thought I would give it a bump to try and get some more opinions and/ or discussion going.

    New 9-Ball Game! This is the one...

    I like this idea alot. What do you all think about these suggestions: 1) Instead of shooting the low ball and then the nine, you can also bank, carom, or kiss the nine in off the low ball for a point? 2) How about every time you make a legal nine ball pot, you have the option of shooting the...

    IPT Mentioned on National Public Radio

    I had no problem with the link yesterday and it still works right now. You do need Real player as this is a radio piece and there is no article to cut and paste.

    Looking for Black-and-White Table Diagram

    If you have photoshop, I have a modified version of Jewett's diagram with balls, ghost balls, shaded targets and lines that you can easily arrange any way you like. I can email this if you are interested.

    How to get in line

    Interpreting form through motion blur I haven't seen the photo, but consider two points when you try to draw such conclusions based on photographic blur. 1) motion towards and away from the camera lens (i.e. motion oriented along the axis of the lens) creates much less blur than equivalent...

    The Bone

    Is it allowed? According to the new BCA rule changes that went into effect Jan. 1, players may use their own bridge "if it is similar to standard commercial bridges." I don't really think the dog bone could be considered similar since the handle is way shorter and the head is way larger...

    Derby City PPV reduced

    If you buy this now, can you go back and watch the matches that have already been played? If so, how long will they be available? Can you replay them more then once? Also, how much one-pocket is available? Does this price include coverage of the ring game also? Thanks.

    WTB 2x2 case around $50

    I am looking for an inexpensive 2x2 case either used or a good deal on a new one. Especially interested in Porper and Giuseppe but will consider others. Looking to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 or less. Thanks to all who make this such a great forum! I'm so glad I found it.

    Wanted: VIKING F99 or similar

    Hey all, I'm new to the forum. I've recently got the bug to start playing again but my cheap old cue busted at the joint, so I need a new one. I've settled on a Viking F99 or a similar Viking cue. Since I'm pretty settled on the metal-wood joint (what Viking refers to as Joint #1), I imagine...
