    What is exciting about Playing or Watching Pool?

    I love playing pocket billiards so I'm happy playing any game as long as there's a cue in my hand. As for watching, I believe 3 cushion to be very exciting. I frequent this pool hall and sometimes just sit and watch the better plyers go on runs. I rarely play and have a high run of two, but I...

    This is why Pool is COOL...

    Ive seen a lot of reasons why pool is cool. But i think we are missing one. Pool itself is beautiful. The tables and cues are pieces of art. All the colors of the balls, the intricate designs of cues. Watching a ball roll is one of life's pleasures. Who knew that one could do so much to a ball...

    what would you do if you had dippys money?

    Well I don't know how much money he has, but I would quit working and go to college full time. Then buy my family a big house here in the US and a large estate in Bolivia for my parents to go when they get old. Put some money on the side to put my brother and future kids through college. I would...

    Drugs to shoot better

    Not a pothead (sound like denial huh?) but personally after a couple hits I seem a lot more focused on playing. I get very calm and my mind is on the ball. It seems like the ball is going in no matter what. Although when the high is gone I feel very down which is never good. When I first started...

    Need Spanish translator

    The thing about what JAM said is that Google translates it to the literal meaning. If you write "pool stroke" it would translate it to the actual pool word "pisina" and the dangerous kind of stroke, the one that kills "derrame cerebral." I'm no professional but am fluent in Spanish, and able to...

    Your mentor?

    I need one! I pretty much fell in love with pool and learned on my own. Watching videos and reading articles online. I learned a lot from mnorwoods videos, I watched and then put it in action at the table. I've had some friends that show me some moves here and there, but never really taught me...

    Magic Rack + Sardo Rack, we don't need them

    Paul, you need to stop posting about racks. Whenever I see your name it has something to do with the rack. From what I read, I think you are just promoting the "no conflict rules." You might change some peoles minds but not the majority. Please stop posting about rack problems and making a ball...

    Country with the best pool players?

    I would say Taiwan. I have a close friend that I met through pool that is from there and he tells me all the stories about his country, such as pool in school. I don't have many Philipino friends that were actually born there. I've met some Philipinos that don't play pool, but it seems almost...
