Good morning all, I saw a post here earlier by Eric, which gave me the idea to ask this question without hijacking his own thread. I am moving to a new city in July. My family and I are going down today to look at houses. I will be looking for a recreation room that is spacious enough for a 9...

Good afternoon all, I will be moving south to Kingston Ontario in July. In fact, we are leaving this Friday to go on a house hunting trip. I plan to make sure I have the room for a pool table in the new house. I can't really afford the Gold Crown V but there is a company in town that sells...

I may be interested in holding a raffle at some point. I have noticed that when a relatively new member has made an attempt at holding a raffle it does not get a lot of hits and/or takes a while to fill up. When asked why, most people mentioned it was because the member was new with no...

Good evening all, I am looking at buying a house with a recreation room at 31 feet by 14 feet. Is this large enough for a 9 footer? I know the 31 feet is more than enough but the 14 feet concerns me. I have been on 2 sites that reccomend a room size of 18 feet 8 inches by 15feet 6 inches for a...

Good day all, I am in the market for another playing cue. I am not a pro and all together not a very good pool player however my love for the game is great! I currently play with a M2WW with a predator Z shaft. I am looking at possibly getting another McDermott but I do not see a lot of posts...
