    Another vote for using Parchment Paper on shafts...

    Cool! I've been looking for a good, cheap way to clean and polish the shaft.

    Powder

    Can't quite put my finger on it... Please, no jokes! It's hard enough for a pool player to keep a girlfriend without them having to worry about cancer now. :)

    Poolhall Junkies--Christopher Walken is awesome

    It Beats a Poke in the Eye... I didn't hate it as much as most. The movie has some good scenes in it. But the bad scenes in it tend to overshadow them. And some of the dialog will make one groan and facepalm. But it's far from the worst pool movie I've seen.

    Facebook and Pool

    Trolling with the Changes... About the time I think I've learned everything there is to know about Fakebook, they change it. :(

    2016 AZ Billiards Straight Pool Challenge!

    High Run of 16 16 is the best I have managed so far (all in practice). My goal for the year is to reach 42. That would be 3 racks. I have two main issues: 1) break shots - can't seem to make them consistently, 2) losing focus for several consecutive innings causing inconsistent run totals.

    Pool Halls in North Chicago

    I will be heading over to Shooter's in a minute. Should be there by about 7 o'clock. I will probably be there for a couple of hours. Come by if you want to shoot a game or two. Anyone else in the area that wants to drop by is also welcome to hit me up. I will be wearing tan slacks and a...

    Pool Halls in North Chicago

    Yeah, it looks great in the pictures. And the tables look nice. It's also about the closest to where I am staying, so I most likely pay a visit. Thanks.

    Iconic Style... Wow! The street view on Google maps is awesome. Now that's what the front of a pool hall should look like. I hope I have a chance to get down there and check it out. Thanks guys.

    Pool Halls in North Chicago

    Mostly, I just want to stop and take a few pictures and just see what a "Great" lake looks like. It doesn't have to be anyplace special, necessarily, just some place I can park and walk down to the shore and look around. I might consider the bicycle rental, though. That sounds kind of fun. A...

    Pool Halls in North Chicago

    Hi fellow Azers, I will be traveling to Chicago on business for the week of June 15-19. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good places to knock some balls around. I will be just north of Chicago in Vernon Hills. I found a few places online that I might try out: Shooter's, in...

    Advice on break shots

    Trust me, there's a whole lot of this in golf as well.

    The Hustler, one more time

    Shakespeare would have had a lot more sex... If I recall correctly, Charlie told Eddie he had been playing 20 hours straight, not 24. That would make the time around 4 to 4:30pm, not necessarily a hopping hour of the day. Although, there still should have been SOMEBODY there to see a big...

    The Public's Perception on Pool

    A Rose by any other Game... Why must an activity be considered a "sport" to be included in the Olympic "Games"? Whether considered a sport or game, or whatever, billiards is beautiful. If some cannot see that, then I pity their ignorance. Or maybe it's just personal preference. Either way...

    Couldn't happen to a nicer guy... Then again, $900 at the liquor store??? Maybe this guy ain't so bad after all.

    Pool tournaments and social media complaining.

    In billiards parlance... Twitter could give Farcebook the 7.

    Opinions: Should I join a straight pool league

    One word: GoForIt... Doing your best, regardless of the results, is never an embarrassment. And the only players who may resent you will be the ones you beat. If you want to learn straight pool, a league is as good a place as any. In my experience, I have learned a great deal more watching...
