Hey folks, Headed to Vero Beach in a few weeks for a week, in between other things I plan to spend a decent amount of time shooting around. Google shows there's 3 or 4 halls down there, any of them I should avoid--or one that's really good that I would probably just want to stick to? Prefer...

So, Before classes start back and I have no time to do anything for 4 months I wanted to drive out there and check out the matches for a night. Looks like casino lodge fees are higher than staying at an Embasy most places, so anyone famaliar with the area to reccomend someplace else to stay...

Don't really want to spend a lot on it as I'll rarely use it but what kind of suggestions do you all have? Would prefer to spend less than $100 but if less than $100 won't buy a jump cue worth using I'm open to suggestions.

My new pool goal is, I want to win a trophy of some kind. I keep seeing them in people's home rooms in the post here. What type of competitions do you have to play in where they give trophies to people?

I don't really feel like I need one, I seem to do okay at jumping with my normal cue but if I'm missing out on something I would like to reconsider not getting one.

Played in a small tournament last night, went undefeated and had to sit for 6 games to let the 'losers bracket' finish out. Had been doing irish car bombs with a seperate Guinness on the side all night and then it hit me... I was kind of drunk. Ordinarily this is fine but getting drunk while...

So, I've really only gotten into trying to become good at pool(still not there) the past 3 months. I've played 98% of my pool at my local bar. The past week I've been to two or three places that had balls that hit better, got infinitley noticeably better English off the cue ball, etc. And even...

So, After 3 years it's looking like I'm finally getting a sizable raise, if/when it comes through I'm going to be tearing the garage down and building a new 2 car with an apartment over top of it. So after years of being square footage poor, I'll finally have room for a home table. I see a...

I got a $116 cue in the mail yesterday, took it out and played just as well with it as I do my $400 cue. Took it home, exact same length, both made the same vibration when tapped at different points, etc. Outside of inlays the only difference between the two is the $400 cue screws together more...

I made a post yesterday about looking for a 'beater' cue to start lugging around to random bars with me that would play well, that way I didn't run the risk of damaging equipment that I care about. I wanted a Sneaky Pete to not stand out for bringing a cue and also because the Art on cheap cues...

http://www.billiardwarehouse.com/cues/valhalla/valhalla-va-241_pool_cue.htm Found a link on Ebay to get it for $62 + $6 shipping. I'm wanting to start hitting up random bars to play some new people and see how my improvement at my local bar the past couple months has worked. I don't want to...

So tonight I learned a life lesson, I let a drunk buddy shoot a game with my new Joss cue while I was outside. I get to work tonight and I'm doing some stroke practice and notice a small chip in the ebony on the butt sleeve. It's nothing major, just a bit of an eye sore since I know it's there...

So watching old pool, those pros looked like used car salesmen. They would drink alcohol while playing, trash talk, take risky shots. There was something there beyond just the game that made it fun to watch. I've been watching 2016/2017 tournaments the past few nights and these guys show zero...

I've seen people referred to as B's, D's, 5's, etc. How is this determined?Is this a general terminology used by players to define each other or do these ratings carry weight in tournaments, leagues, etc.? And where do people go to get ratings?

I have a single cue Casemaster Q-Vault that's been an excellent case. I now have a two cue system I want to start using so I need to upgrade to a two cue case and the Casemaster 2x2 version looks like a great option at only $50. But wanted to pick brains here to see if I'm not seeing a better...
