    Pool: Sport or Game -- Leroy Neiman (RIP) Knew the Answer

    Painting If I'm correct about the painting you all are talking about, the one that hung in the Playboy Mansion pool room for so many years, it is currently owned by Centaur Galleries in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have seen it there on a number of occasions and have even thought about how it...

    Ivory & e-Bay Do Not Go Together

    Nothing implied I did not mean to imply any anti corporate sentiment. Yes, it is the driving force. A force that produced the highest standard of living for the greatest number of people in the history of the world. An undeniable fact that only silliness tries to discredit.

    Ivory & e-Bay Do Not Go Together

    Federal kangaroos Politics and environmentalism are seldom encumbered by rational reasoning. But to stay on topic. AS much as I dislike ebay I understand the profit from the sale of a few items that may or may not contain legal ivory does not justify the expense of having to defend...

    Superspeed cushions

    Three of the six cushions bow towards the center of the table 1/16". The three other cushions are dead straight as is the wood on all the rails. The dealer seems willing to help with the replacement of the superspeed cushions. I wish I knew how frequently this problem occurs. I would...

    Superspeed cushions

    Sorry to keep after this but here is the problem. I was told by a Brunswick representative that the Artemis K55 profile matches the profile of the Superspeed cushion better than the K66 profile does. This is on a late model GC5. Does anyone have any practical experience with newer...

    How many pool halls do your town or city have, how good are they?

    Nearest room is 75 miles away. Had rooms up until 20 years ago. Now costs are too high. Droveto, beautiful Akita. I had one for many years. Now my daughter has a Sheba Inu. Not sure who is smarter, the sheba or my daughter. Oh well, I love 'em both.

    Neil is right A rivalry will get people interested and excited. How 'bout Sacramento vs San Bernadino! Team competition. You must be a resident of X number of years to play for your town. Or Podunck Idaho vs Cundrop Idaho! Get local businesses to reward the winners. A lunch, a dinner, a...

    True or False???

    Some Yes and no. Shaft and shaft parts play a much larger part in how the cue feels when it strikes the ball. How the butt feels in your shootin' hand can be very important for some players. Different wraps, different thickness can make a difference in preference but I doubt it makes a...
