Do you know of any good pool rooms in Lancaster and Ephrata, PA? My son and I are in those areas every couple of months, so I'd like know what the pool options are. I'd prefer a pool room to a bar. I live in the south west Philadelphia area and know the major places there (Fusco's, Markley...

My first good cue was a plain jane Viking that I bought lightly used in the early 90s, and I took it to heart when the best player in the pool room told me it was the last cue I'd ever need (no, I didn't buy it from him). I spent my first few years as a serious student of the game with that...

How are the "Cue Reviews" and "Cue and Shaft Reviews" forums different from each other?

Is it much of a problem to rewrap with linen a cue that was originally made with a nylon wrap? I've been told that a cue with a nylon wrap couldn't be rewrapped with linen, because the wrap section of the cue was cut deeper for the thicker nylon cord. Is there no reliable way to make a linen...
