    A new to me billiard game

    Cue has to come to rest there... if it didn’t then opponent gets to shoot Meant some long shots long draws and lots of rails The restriction is the whole point much like bank the eight or last pocket

    How many cues? Why so many?

    Not knocking anyone’s habits/personality I just personally have always had trouble buying things I want instead of need once it was because of $ but now it’s almost ingrained in me so bad I’ll agonize over buying anything I don’t need. If I played for a living I’m sure I would have more and...

    What’s the Most Frustrating Aspect of Being an Aging Pool Player?

    Not near 60 yet but injuries and disabilities have robbed me of a lot so I definitely understand your issues I guess I was a bit unusual in that I always sought out the old pros in the pool halls and always tried to pick their brains as much as they would allow. I know I annoyed the heck out...
