    Why do some pool halls enforce the use of break pads?

    I used a break cloth when my cloth was new, but quit after the typical break burn stripes manifested. I figured why bother at that point, the cloth will need changed eventually. Probably sooner than later.

    Aramith 100 new ball set out tomorrow

    I like the number side. The 100 side shows erm, well, the number 100. Interesting the CB ‘100’ does not have the Aramith logo in the zero. Only the other side. I’d get a set depending on the $.

    Gold Crown V Feedback/Reviews?

    First owner of a V Tournament Edition. I've had it 4 years, and it's been terrific. Not a single issue or concern. Simonis 860HR. With clean cloth, balls, chalk, and climate controlled environment I'd say it plays pretty fast. I'm considering a different (slower) cloth next recovering...

    In The Kitchen

    I wish we could glean insight from Robert Byrne about it’s usage. He seems a likely person to have resurrected it during the 1970s.

    ARAMITH 100 NEW BALL SET

    The solids design is interesting, minimalistic. ‘100’ on the opposite side, hm ok. Unoriginal but not offensive Always a fan when striped balls have the number in the white ‘field’ (i.e. Centennials, Predators) Box looks shnazzy. $500 though? Tough sell.

    Also a probable twice removed forebear of the ironically named American ‘Cowboy’ billiards.

    Do you carry your own cue ball to pool halls??

    Years ago I bought an Aramith measles at a pool hall. That’s when the equipment was in fair shape. Still have the ball. The equipment at same place has deteriorated even further so last visit I brought my shined up set of Aramith Premiums purchased from the thrift store for $12. You guys...

    $30 for a piece of chalk...What's your favorite chalk to use?

    In retrospect prior to using V10 chalking every single shot was kind of disruptive to my PSR. Now I can concentrate in silence without looking and fumbling for chalk constantly. As a result chalking has become more meaningful, not some grindy routine as before.

    Standing on table after winning a tournament...disrespect

    It’s like Helio Castroneves climbing the fence after winning the Indy 500. The first time was original and enough. But yes, jumping on the table looks bad and is disrespectful to the equipment in my opinion. I think the players should try smashing and throwing their cues, cases and spectator...

    Concession of Game

    Not a fan of concessions, but if permitted they should be strictly reserved for when a player is on the hill. In tournament play middle of match concessions are bad form and should result in automatic forfeiture of the next game. Supposedly these were the rules at DCC but from what I've seen...

    J pechauer Cues , Are they decent for a Custom Cue or just another Factory deal

    I recently picked up my 4th ‘Peach’ after getting my first one about a dozen years ago after playing with a Viking for 20+ years. I’m no cue aficionado, and I’m certain other cue brands are terrific, but I’m a lifer and sticking with what I know and like.

    Pool Room Customers That Return Tray of Pool Balls in Sequence - Why?

    At the pool room I return them all random and mixed up just like I got them. At home I like to keep them number side up in no particular order. My only racking compulsion is never placing the 8 on the corners and especially not at the apex for 1P, 14.1, or any game where the ball racking...
