I have a few cheap no-name gloves in my case that I've had so long that I don't know where I bought them. A couple of them are so durable that one of them has stood up to everyday use for this entire season. Do you have any that last this long? Please share what they are and where are they...

In this link, the players have a complete set of 15 mini balls that they are using to associate a specific ball number with a specific pocket. Ever seen these before? Anyone know where to get some?

Anyone know the Big Al YouTube video where he shoots a ball in the side and the cue ball rolls to the short rail and makes an INCREDIBLY sharp turn to pocket the 9 ball? I know it's there, but I can't find it. https://www.youtube.com/@BigAlsBilliards

I'm flying to another state to visit relatives for a few weeks. I'd like to have a cue to play with during that time. Have you had any good experiences with low end cues that you might recommend? I'd expect to probably pay $100-$200 and leave the cue there for my next visit.

A number of years ago I started a list like this for pool games in general (Rules of Thumb in Pool) and later another one for 14.1 (Rules of Thumb in 14.1). Recently I started playing Golf (on a pool table) and I think I've been playing for a long enough time to have recognized some winning...

Nearing the end of a game with three players the following situation came up and we are wondering about your take on this. Player 1 has completed holes 1 through 5 and his ball is sitting so close to hole 6 that we don’t think it can be knocked out of place. We think that Player 1’s ball will...

Seems like you might get the same result by altering where you contact the first rail. I'm sure that I don't know why, but surely there must be a reason.

I have a 90s era McDermott cue with an extension that I leave on full time - and I really like it that way except when I shoot the CB close to the rail and I use an open bridge. I have removed the weight bolt and the overall weight is pretty close to what the cue used to be with the weight bolt...

Lately my friends and I have been playing an alternate version of 8 Ball where the 1 and 15 must be pocketed in the side pockets. The 1 in a specific side pocket and the 15 in the opposite side pocket. We think it is much more challenging than standard 8 Ball. As you can imagine, a lot of focus...

My biggest problem is that I lose the ability to aim accurately as the distance between the CB and the OB lengthens. I'm sure that almost everyone may have this problem to one degree or another, but for me this is a BIG PROBLEM! When the distance is about 2/3 of a table or less, I can hold my...

I've been having a continuing problem that I can't seem to lick. Here's the situation. Any advice? Say I'm shooting past the one ball and trying to pot the two ball. I look to see if there's enough room to get past the one ball and determine that it is very close, but the cue ball should just...

Once in a while my friends and I play with two sets of balls just for the hell of it. One racked at each end. The game goes faster because of more shot opportunities. We stick to normal rules as much as possible.

These are actual posted rules on a wall of a pool room in my area. Has anyone ever seen a more hostile attitude?

I just put an old, relatively cheap and dirty set of balls through about 10 minutes in the Diamond ball cleaning machine. I used Aramith liquid cleaner because that's what I had. I'd say the results are good. They're now shiny and the colors are improved. Any scratches are still there. What...

Pool room in the Cleveland area has a sign on the wall that advertises "Straight Pool League - Wednesday nights". The other day someone asked when the gay pool league played.

The illustration and red text below are from Dr Dave's website. Shot “A” is about a 10° cut, shot “B” is about a 15° cut, and shot “C” is about a 20° cut. All three shots fit into the “thick cut” category of some versions of CTE. Also, the CB-to-OB distance is the same for all three shots. If...

What do you think guys? Will this technique work (without any harm)? If not, why not? YouTube Link

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the questions below. It's not easy to determine these things from the information on his website: Johnbrumback.com johnbrumback.com Is this the video I'd want to improve my banking or the video I'd want to develop better strategies for winning...

I've had this trouble for a long time now... For some reason, I'm frequently unable to tell if there's enough room to shoot the CB past a nearer ball without touching it while trying to pot a ball that is farther away. I frequently hit the ball that is in the way with the CB. Can anyone suggest...

1. Who chooses the team captains and the vice captains? 2. Which team announces their daily lineup first? 3. Can a team change their announced lineup after the opposing team announces theirs? 4. Is there a limit to how many times each player may play? For example, could Filler play every match?
