    New pool room: The Crooked Cue, Colorado Springs, CO

    At the Crooked Cue, I could see some stains on the five month old cloth. Even the 10' which doesn't get as much play as the other tables had a circular stain from a glass or coffee cup with a wet bottom being set down on the cloth. I never saw any sign that said there was a $500 fine, nor did...

    According to google, Felt Billiards and the Crooked Cue are 1 hour apart. If you stayed at a hotel half way between them, you could drive 30 minutes south to the Crooked Cue to play on the 10' or a 9' or a tourney on 9' footers on Sunday; or you could drive 30 minutes north to Felt and play on...

    You could still dine and dash. If you haven't realized it yet, 90% of the people in the world are inconsiderate scumbags who only think of themselves, and they have no morality, so they will try to get away with anything they can.

    How Efren handles possible drama!

    Do pros ever explain to the ref what they are going to do so that the ref has some forewarning? I think if Efren had told the ref to watch for the cue ball hitting the rail after the cue ball hit the 2-ball, then the ref could have positioned himself to see the rail clearly, and Efren wouldn't...

    Cue & Shaft Construction - Do You Care?

    I never understood those shafts. It seems like a carbon fiber shaft with wood wrapped around it. If you want to make an LD shaft, that would not be the way to go. Carbon fiber is denser than wood, so a plain wood shaft without the carbon core could be made more LD. Similarly, a carbon fiber...
