    Gorst vs. Van Boening

    Has anyone tried to order tickets to their upcoming match in June? I went on a couple of days after it was announced and it said the event was sold out. That seemed kind of fast to me, and I’m curious if I’m missing something. Thanks in advance!

    Can One Pocket Be Learned On A Bar Table

    I hope this doesn’t start a war, as it is a serious question. Can one learn one pocket playing it exclusively on a bar table? I am starting to develop a real interest in the game, and would love to learn more about but don’t have quite enough room for a big table. If it makes a difference...

    Drop pockets for a Valley

    I did a search and the latest post I could find was eleven years old. Does anyone have any ideas about converting my Valley bar box to drop pockets? I assumed they would be something I could purchase, but no such luck so far. Thanks in advance for any advice!

    LED lighting for bar table

    Hey guys, I know I’ve seen some threads on this in the past, but the Search function doesn’t seem to be helping me. Can anyone give me some advice as far as lighting goes? I’m going to have a bar table delivered soon, and I assume LED is the way to go these days. Not sure if it makes any...

    Ridgeback vs. Penguin and a cloth question

    I think I’m going to get a table soon. I really want a Diamond, but not sure I want to spend that much as a part-time player. I’m probably going to get one of the rebuilt bar boxes from the guy in North Carolina. I want the table to play a little tougher, and would like to know opinions on...

    Monroe NC rooms

    I will be in Monroe NC this weekend, and was wondering if there are any good places to play there. All I know is Monroe is near Charlottte. I would like to stay fairly close if possible, but don’t mind traveling a bit if it is worth it. I would love to find Diamonds, preferable seven and 9...

    Keeping count in straight pool

    What do you use when keeping score in straight pool? It seems we used to use some kind of counter thing and keep it for each other, but I can't remember. Thanks!

    Sardo Tight Rack

    It is like new 3000 model. I would call it brand new, but I have tried it a couple of times, so I won't. It is a great product, but people in my room just don't seem interested in learning to use it. $65 plus actual shipping.

    Where do I find pool rules

    I am looking for some rules for a room. A search of the APA and BCA really didn't give me much. Any ideas?

    How do I clean my pool balls?

    It looks like I will be doing it by hand for a while, so how do I do it? Should I wax them each time or just clean them? And what do I use to clean them? Thanks!

    Snap magazine

    I am sure this has been covered before, but I was wondering why the magazine went under. I have been looking at a few back issues, and the magazine was incredible. How can the rags we have now survive for as long as they have and that one only make it two years?

    How do you practice

    When I used to play, that is all I did. Play. Now that I am playing again, I want to work on my game more and do it better. So, how does one practice. Is there a book or dvd out that will give me some ideas? Other than set up a shot I have been having problems with and shooting it over and...

    The very best case

    I am in the market for a new case. I really don't care that much about looks. I am most interested in protection, going in and out, varying temperatures, long term storage, etc. It probably would need to be at least 3 and 5. Thanks for any help!!
