So, after 7 years of playing on my 9 foot Diamond Pro-Am (single slate) in my garage, I bought a new house big enough to bring it inside. The challenge was that the billiard room needs to be in the basement. :(. I called around and found a guy who would do it and he had great reviews. Juan...

I was contacted by a good friend who came across what he was told was his late father's Gus Szamboti cue...he asked my advice on how to proceed (with a view to selling it). I'm thinking he needs to get it authenticated/appraised (by Barry?) and then offer it for sale to reputable buyers using...

Starts at 12:19 of this video...80 year old billiards player Maurice Daly interview from 1928. Only a few seconds, but pretty neat! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiKQW3ausPw

My Christmas present came early...I called Mike Gulyassy and talked him into selling me his playing cue (he made it about a year ago). It's his new patent-pending PHX cue, a build technique he is keeping close to the vest until the patent is awarded. PHX is short for "Perfect Hit Extreme"...

As many of you know, I was asked to review a Willie Blade cue as the winner of a contest. I received the cue a little over a week ago, and put it to the test, playing about 10 hours with it. Bottom line, this is a very finely made cue, with beautifully executed overlapping butterfly splices...

I've got a small section of my elephant ear wrap opening/loose right along the seam... What's the best glue adhesive you'd recommend? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

So, I'm getting a new 9' Diamond ProAm delivered in the next couple of weeks...I'm putting it into the garage. I'm looking for some advice/ideas on flooring (gym mats, diamond rolls, etc.) that some of you who've gone before could give me on what would be good for standing/playing on. Should I...

And some advice. I live in Northern VA (Woodbridge). The last pool room just closed and I've talked the wife into letting me finally get a table of my own. Bottom line, I need a Diamond or a GC nine footer. Does anyone know of a commercial used Diamond or GC in the general vicinity? I'm...

Will be spending a couple of weeks in Cocoa Beach on business...any thoughts on places to play? Any small tournaments? :)

I just received my 4 inch ebony in joint cue extension, took it straight out to play for four hours. LOVE IT. Very nice quality (the retail stuff out there can't compete with this). I really love the extra length and slight forward weight this thing gives me. Really straightens out my stroke...

Beat Navy! That is all...carry on. :wink:

So, here's the deal. I've shot pool for almost 30 years successfully with a low stance, my chin on or very near the cue. I've been struggling lately, having trouble hitting the OB precisely. I began to question my vision center, but it doesn't seem to be off. The last three sessions, I tried...

I'll be in the Panama City Beach, Florida area next week, probably from Monday on...any decent places to play or local tournaments? Bill

I'm traveling through St. Luis Obisbo next week...any decent places to play? Any weekly tournaments?

Well, I received my Jerry Rauenzahn cue today, a little short of 5 months after placing the order and EXACTLY when he said I would. It's a 60" (30-30 split) 20 oz full splice Brazilian into straight grain maple Brunswick 26 1/2 tribute cue. It has black/green/orange/natural veneers on the...

Well, I finally got around to getting Jerry -R- to build me my next player...After years of playing with half-splice old school cues, I tried out a full splice player a couple of months ago and realized I had been barking up the wrong tree. I've always admired -R- cues and their old school...

Anybody know where I could go to get some tips replaced in the D.C. area? Preferably onsite, while I wait, but I'm flexible....:embarrassed2:

I found these by accident looking at eBay...I think they're pretty cool, surprised I haven't seen any like them before...It's a pretty obvious motif, especially since the skull Schon is so popular...

Hey all, I'm coming to Carlisle Barracks, PA for the last two weeks in June...I see a Fast Freddies Billiard Parlor there, but don't know what kind of room it is...any tournaments in the area? Not sure what my schedule will be like, but I could probably jump in a weekly 9 ball or 8 ball...
