    Stranger in a Minnesota Pool Hall

    I have not heard anything about Jimmy's place closing. I also don't believe the scene is hurting here. There are some fantastic players up here right now that definitely have the nuts to play big money pool.

    Beautiful 2002 Skip Weston 8 pointer

    I purchased this cue from Joe Van in February and used it for about a month. With his permission, I am using his pics and description of the cue. The cue plays fantastic but I just don't use it since I found my Tucker I up for sale a little while back. The cue is near mint and looks like it just...

    South West Cues-Why $$$ ????

    This is 100% truth and Laurie is by far one of the best people I have dealt with over the years. SW makes a good product and people are willing to wait for their chance to own one. There are a lot of car companies, jewelry companies, etc. that demand a wait time for a perfect product.

    South West Cues-Why $$$ ????

    The wait is 10 years. I ordered 2 cues in 2001 and SW is building them now. I spoke with her on Monday and I will have the cues around September or October. I have owned 14 Southwests and they play great and are a thing of simple beauty.

    Painting

    I would take the paint codes to a good body guy and have them spray it. That will be the best way to get a good finish on it.

    Pool around Plainfield/Joliet, IL (45 minutes SW of Chicago)

    dogginda9 is your best bet for all things pool in the Joliet area. I grew up there and most of the pool rooms have closed down from what I understand but I haven't been back there in a couple of years. The suggestions that were listed by Tro are your best bet while you are there. Don't forget...

    Pool & Passion

    Great story. I have found myself doing the exact same thing that John has done before, both when I played professional music as well as at pool. I think it really has to do with personal disappointment more than anything. I recently started playing again and I have nights where I can't make 2...

    The Joe Rogan Experience - Pool Discussion

    You have to love Joe. He tells it like it is and has nothing to hide. I've seen his live show twice and it is spectacular.

    If you put some timing in your game you will see an improvement!

    I definitely find that singing in your head helps a lot to find your personal cadence. At the age of 15, I started playing music professionally. When I find myself playing bad in a match, I ask my opponent for a quick break and go wash my hands or grab a beverage from the bar so I can lock a...

    Top 10 things that annoy me the most

    These are all great! I just started playing pool again after a 6 year break away from the game. I am playing leagues 3 nights a week and also just recently got a Gold Crown 2 setup as well. I have nights where I catch a gear and play like I did before I quit playing and some nights I play...

    Why do my tips always glaze?

    I break with my playing cue and I hardly ever mess with my tips. I use a simple sandpaper tool to scuff them up when they start to glaze and I only have to do that every month or so. The tips on my Tucker that was made in 2003 are still the original tips that Murray put on it. The only time that...

    Who does the best refinish?

    Scott has refinished about half a dozen cues for me over the last 10 years and his work is phenomenal and the turn around time is super fast.
