A while ago there was a thread that talked about the importance of shot making vs. position play. I started to think a lot about the differences between the two. I came to the conclusion that making an argument either way isn't possible unless the size of table and the game played is factored...

I am a no one in the pool world. My longest pack is a 4 pack, off a Magic Rack no less. I get scared when I play players better than me. My opinion is worth nothing and my reputation is better than I think it should ever be... but here goes. I am so tired of this "breaker shoots after a...

Short story from the pool hall today. A guy around 45 or so comes in with a much older guy I would guess to be in his 80's. I don't think they were father, son or of any relation. The way it sounded the older gent lived in a home of sorts and the younger guy brought him out to shoot some...

Does anyone know where I can find a printable layout of a blank table that would allow me to document the layout of ball on the table. I searched the forum but didn't come up with anything related to what I am looking for. Thanks

I am looking to start a ring game to play on the same night every week. Any advice? 9 ball vs. 10 ball. Rules I should look to use. Anything that you think may be helpful. Thanks

Player one breaks and makes 3 solids on the break. While attempting to pocket a solid on an open table player one misses the shot and pockets the 8 ball. What is the score? 10-3 or 10-0? My gut instict is to say 10-0 but I would like a little feed back. BCA league scoring. Thanks in advance.

I tried to look this up and may not have understood the answer correctly. 9 ball Player A fouls the cue ball. Cue ball stops moving. Player A picks up cue ball to hand to Player B. Player A sets cue ball on table and rolls to Player B while Player B is approching table. Cue ball makes...

3 or 4 years ago a friend and I played a race to 400. I don't recall there being any weight laid either way. The final score of that game was 393 to 400. Last week I played the same friend a race to 300. It was the first time we had played a long game in a while. I gave him 125 and...

How would you guys handle this. Drunk loud guy at end of bar pipes up when I walk in. I know him well enough. He knows I like to gamble. He also knows I'm not going to lay out a ton of money unless I think I have the best of it. DLG: Hey lets play one game of 9 ball for 100. Me: Lets...

I knew I could make these sticks myself....:D http://www.ehow.com/how_4842741_make-billiard-cues.html

I have been throwing around the idea of making sure my cues are insured and am curious about a value. Rough ideas are fine this is just to give me an idea of what there is. McDermott D-13: Original as can be with a few dings but overall in good shape. Chad Carter Plain Jane: Curly Maple...

What can I expect to pay to have a cue re-wrapped? Irish linen. Quotes would be fine if there is anyone looking for some quick work. Thanks in advance

For anyone in the area, Dave Pearson will be performing a speed pool show in Ames, Iowa on Tuesday, September 17th. The show will take place at DG's Tap House, located above the Corner Pocket. Admission will be free. As a note, I have only heard this information and have not seen any...

Tonight for the first time I broke 30. 33 actually. I had two break shots in the run. I made the third break shot but it was far from ideal and I ended up froze to the right side of the stack. This makes today a happy day. The down side is I was playing alone. So, like the single that...

The rack is opened but there are no shots from the top of the rack and there are no dead combos/caroms. Basically, it has been hit but not well enough to leave an open shot from the top half of the table. There are two open balls below the rack. Player A rattles a ball in the top corner...

I have now had my plain jane Carter for six months. Chad took this order and got the cue to me in a very short amount of time in comparison to some of the other builders. The cue is a curly maple forearm and Butt with conservitive ring work and a lizard skin brown wrap. The weight is 18 oz...

I am in need of some advice. I have been playing 14.1 for only three years and have only seriously focused on it for the last 6 months or so. My "long" runs are ususally 10-12 and on a good day I can hit the high teens a couple of times. My potting is decent when I concentrate and I make the...

Today, I submitted my resignation to my employer. I have been working for the same company since 98; I was 16 when I started. I began as a bus boy, and worked my way up to management and a salary, with bonuses, adding up to 43,000 a year. I have two reasons for the resignation. 1. I want to...

I've got 500 to spend on a 4 point custom player shipped. NO INLAYS; I strongly dislike them. Anyone want to unload? I need pics. Thanks.
