In this video, you see SVB break and I think he makes a stripe. Then, next shot, looks like he shoots the 14 into the 2 into the one, pocketing it. So, he has solids? The 2nd shot was legal, you can hit any non-8 ball into any other and pocket it as a called shot? And am I to assume this...

Sheesh, it's a wonder any gamblers are still alive what with all the possible misunderstandings!

So, if Tom gives Sam the 7-ball in a game of 9-ball. Sam only needs to make the 8 and 9 or just how does that work? Just a guess, lol.

I hope it works! Good luck, Matchroom! Was just thinking of the Olympics and how I would watch pool over some of the other events! Next thing ya know, cornhole will be in the Olympics!

It's the Dunning-Kruger effect, which continues to flourish these days. That, plus, for some, greed. They actually think they might just take off and go a bit viral and make some money.

I don't know dimensions but it's plenty big. Room for the table is not an issue. I put markers down for the size of a table and eyeballed it running N-S and E-W in the room, allowing room for the cue to extend to the walls or obstacles all around. The issue is having room to have a sitting area...

How is a Diamond superior, what would an intermediate player notice? Anything?

The responses are appreciated. Do you guys think that intermediate players (me and my friends) could appreciate the difference in, say, a new Valley 7 ft table vs. a new Diamond 7 ft? The Diamond appears to cost about twice as much. Assuming both have Simonis cloth. As I said, I can afford to...

I bought another house and it has a game room. At my existing house, I have an 8ft Brunswick Windsor. I was going to put it in the new house, get it recovered, new bumpers, new felt. It's 1974 vintage. However, I am concerned about room in the new place. Am considering a 7ft table to have more...

LOL, I was thinking the same thing but I figured a million.

Pretty cool, post more.

I have no idea what you mean. Why not elaborate.

What is LO? And the worlds of difference was what? Are you inferring she played a lot better with a 'better' cue? That really happens, lol? (I'm kinda new, just curious.)

How do they play it in championship 8-ball? If you make one solid, are you solids? If you make one of each, must you choose before you shoot next? If you make one of each, are you whatever you next call and make? If you make two solids and one stripe, are you solids? If the aim is fairness to...

I have the video below cued up at the spot where this happened. Corey breaks and makes, I think it was, two solids and one stripe. Then he shoots a stripe. Shane then confronts him. What is going on here, looks like they are disagreeing on whether he has solids or stripes? Also tell me this...

I would not go custom and I would not buy expensive. The $120 cue mentioned above should be plenty. Your wife might not stick with it, same as with anyone who tries any sport. No telling how many wives bought golf clubs and all the gear and one year later, never touched the clubs again. But...

Have any of you played on a 6 ft table? What game? What was it like, fun or not? Do you use the same size pool balls, lol?

He might be worrying about bringing the cue home and the bug being on the cue, so, he wants to sanitize it. IMO, I echo what others have said, recommending you curtail being with the public. I have several stories of someone's relative 'slipping up' 'just one time' and now, that loved one is...

I have seen these length pool tables (ft) mentioned here and there... 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 10. I didn't know there was such a thing as a 6 ft table but there is and now I just saw there is 6.5? What is commonly barbox size, 6.5 or 7? If it is 7, are 6.5 ft tables pretty easy to find? (My...

Probably a lot of truth in your post. I don't know what is considered pool's heyday. What is it? Anyway, I was thinking of pool prior to the 60s. Every town had a pool hall. Then the early 60s and tv came along. Prior to tv, there wasn't much one could do for entertainment. And pool was cheap...
