For those of you who were following my previous thread about finding an old billiard article about a guy who went mad playing pool. . .I found it and here it is. Hopefully I'm not breaking some law copying it here. OK, it might not be clinical insanity, but Nagy's pain is one that many fellow...

Help me find this billiards article from years ago!! - (Found it)!! UPDATE: I found the article. It is in it's entirety on page 2 of this thread. Enjoy the read and thanks for everyone's input and ideas. Regards ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Back when I was in grad school in the early 90s, I...

Do you think it is possible that playing in pool halls for a long time (or just playing pool in general) can lead to hearing loss because of the noise? Has anyone ever recorded the decibel level of pool balls colliding. Break shots? I have slight tinnitus and have noticed that loud shots can...

Is it just my imagination or has the writing on AZB taken it the next level? I was reading the story about DCC "Shaw Repeats as Bigfoot Champ" and I have to say it was really well done and entertaining to read. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention in the past? Kudos to AZB!

My buddy has a Gold Crown 3 that has some issues and he needs help. This table has some mix and match parts and there is an issue in how the rails line up with the center pocket (it's off by about .5 inch). Some rail rubber has dead spots and needs to be reattached and he needs new cloth...

Any idea on when tickets will go on sale for DCC 2017. I see they have dates posted on the website but not much else. Thanks for the info.

If you buy a set of high quality balls, and they never touch anything that would obviously scratch or chip them (that is, they are only used to shoot pool on perfect equipment and never leave the table, contact a wrongly installed pocket screw, etc.), should modern billiard balls be perfect...

Any experience with these or comments about quality. The website doesn't even list the composition of the balls. I saw some eBay listing suggest that they were related to Cyclops balls somehow? Thanks

Slightly used, blemished, OK. New will work as well, but I'm looking for prices under what I'm going to get it on the internet for. Prefer traditional green or tournament blue. More concerned about price. Simonis, championship or comparable. Thanks

Looking for a used, reasonably priced set of Centennials or Aramith Super Pro or comparable. No TV colors please. Regards

I'm in Dayton and looking for a Gold Crown in good playable shape, preferably within 3-4 hours of Dayton. PM me if you have any leads. Thanks

Nothing fancy, but near mint. I figure around 10 years old. Not played much. Pictures are here. Price will keep dropping until sold. SOLD https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/103095300412636406256/albums/6073890988881534401

Price will keeping dropping until sold. $145 I will post pictures later, but this is the cue. http://www.josscues.com/cue_archives/Archive/html/brunswick_html/mag_5.html The real cue does not look as oak like as the picture on the site. It is in 98% condition, straight and hits very well...

SOLD The price will keep dropping until sold. $165 shipped. You pay transaction costs (Paypal). McDermott RS7. Cocobolo points with Birdseye forearm. Butt inlays appear to be abalone. Excellent (but played) condition. No major dings or nicks on shaft (some very minor normal wear). One...

SOLD I'm selling this cue below that I bought about 7 months ago. It is simply the best hitting cue I have owned. However, I am downsizing to a single cue and that would be the Pechauer my wife bought me as a present ages ago. So this one is up for grabs. Priced to sell at $475 shipped, firm...

I'm looking for a high quality sneaky pete. I already have a request out in the For Sale section, but I'm curious what people consider to be the best new sneaky on the market today. Needs to be pure sneaky, so no rings, inlays, identifying marks, etc. Should look just like a house cue with the...

Looking to buy or trade for a high quality sneaky pete. Ideally this cue is a little longer than normal. 59-60 inches preferable. But 58 would probably due for the right cue. 13mm. Must look like a true sneaky meaning it should be pretty damn near indistinguishable from a house cue. No...

I have two old pictures that I'd like to get signed by Earl and Efren. Travelling to an event is probably not in the cards, especially just to get them to sign something. Has anyone had success sending things to these two for signatures?

This weekend I showed Mike Sigel the Sky Sports segment about Earl where he is talking about the match in the barn between him and Mike. Mike asked me to make this post and quote him verbatim. He said "that is 100% inaccurate". I wonder if Sky Sports vetted that story in any way. Any one on the...

Just curious how this is going. Have you joined? Do you plan on joining? Is there a room around you sponsoring it? Have you, or do you plan on participating in the practice rounds coming up?
