    Winston-Salem Pool

    Hi People! I may be relocating to Winston-Salem later this year. Could not find much online about good pool halls and good leagues in the area. Anyone in that neck of the woods have some insight to share, please? Thank you.

    Hi People! So, I always try to make my threads positive sounding but this may be an exception. I have been watching a lot of pool being streamed of late and the standard of commentary (announcing as it is more commonly known in the USA) is to put it mildly, largely atrocious. Of note: 1...

    My New Cue Buying Experience!

    I am one year into my pool playing journey. APA Level 4 and now can play 8 ball, 9 ball, 14.1 and am now captain of my own APA 9 ball team on a Monday night.

    Are Top Level Pool Players Better Today?

    As I continue my pool journey, I often compare it to other sports I have played or been around at a professional level.
