    Connelly in an outlet store

    Went to a local furniture/electronics outlet store looking for a used office chair, and right inside the front door was this table. Of course I walked over thinking it was going to be a Sportmart or something. I was quite surprised to see it was a Connelly. Guess you never know what you will...

    My Connelly set up by SDBilliards

    I just wanted to publicly thank Donny Wessels (SDBilliards) for the great job he did on my new, previously owned Connelly 8 footer. Donny is a consummate professional and a true artist. He spent a great deal of time making sure the table was set up just right. I helped him move the table from...

    WTB: 8 foot table in Southern California

    I am looking for an 8 foot table, price $1200 - $1500 delivered and set up. It is going in my living room so I would like something with some style. I don't care for bar boxes for example, I think they are too heavy looking. I am keeping my eye on Craigslist and Ebay as well. So what's out there?

    You know you're obsessed with pool when...

    You are cutting your toe nails and wonder if you should trim them to a dime shape, or a nickel shape! I need an intervention :)

    Your first advanced shot learned

    What was the first "advanced" shot you remember learning? It might not even be that advanced, it could be as easy as draw or follow, but the one that made you realize there might be more complexity to this game than just banging around balls. For me it was the stun-follow. I never would have...

    Table Differences - HardTimes Bellflower

    I noticed on an older thread that someone said that there is a difference between the tables in the center section and the ones on the left as you come in the door, that the center tables are tighter. Can anyone confirm this? I know that the Tournament tables are the best but I wouldn't want to...

    House M.D. pool references.

    Did anyone else see the episode of House M.D. after the Super Bowl? It had a couple of funny pool references in it. :) The main subplot had House upset that the cable had been turned of in a coma patients room, a television he wanted to watch himself. He says to the hospital administrator...

    What do you guys consider slow play?

    I have been following the thread about annoying aspects of the game and I see a lot of people complain about slow play. I have been trying to take my time lately before getting down on the ball to study the table and choose my shot. I take about the same time as Allison Fisher or Karen Corr...

    So close to running racks...

    Today was my weekly game with a friend playing 8 ball on his 7 foot table. I ran 6 balls three times, and 7 balls once (scratched on a severe cut shot). Only one of the racks was wide open, the others I had to make positions happen. I have only run a rack once before, so as you can guess, this...

    F/T - 2 White Diamond Tips

    I purchased three 13mm White Diamond tips by Joseph Picone for my break cue and the one I installed popped off (and went rolling somewhere in the pool hall, couldn't find it!) I didn't like the hit as much as I thought I would, so here is the deal. I would like to trade a White Diamond for a...

    Thanks to CrownCityCorey!

    I just wanted to say a public thanks to Corey at Tiger Products. I stopped by to have a Sniper tip installed on my OB-1, and while I was waiting he was kind enough to give me a tour of their facilities. It was very interesting seeing how their tips and shafts are made and the amount of work that...

    I am thinking of having a Sniper tip put on my OB-1. Any recommendations from someone who has had it done in the Los Angeles area on who should do it?

    Rotation 8 Ball

    Has anyone ever tried this? Stripes or solids is determined by a coin flip or lag and after the break you must run out your balls in order before pocketing the 8. All of the standard 8 ball rules would apply except for the rack. The 1 ball and 9 ball would be in the back corners to make the odds...

    Scratch on open 8-ball table.

    Hello all. This happened to a friend during our last game and we couldn't find anything in the BCA rules that seemed to cover it. The table was open after the break and he scratched trying to make a striped ball. The OB did not go in. Do I get ball in hand, or ball placed behind the headstring...
