    Donate or Buy to Donate....

    Our university got rid of the pool tables a few years ago to make way for other things. I recently found out that two of them were resurrected at one of the food locations that serves beer! I stopped in yesterday and watched some of the worst pool I had ever seen, but there were kids playing...

    Help Identifying Pool Cue

    I bought this cue as online the butt looked a lot like the QB2 (Huebler/Meucci) cues I have. But side by side, they are different. The butt is different. The ring work close to the pin is different. The pin is much different and the joint is different. After looking at all of this, I was leaning...

    Weird things caught on video

    Last night I was breaking for one-pocket practice and my one ball tried to escape the rack just before the ball gets to it. This is why I like having a camera on my table running at all times.

    I think this statement is also true about billiards.....

    A friend posted this about sales reps.... A rookie sales rep wants to work on intermediate skills. The intermediate sales rep wants to work on advanced skills. Yet, a wise advanced sales rep works on the basics.

    Thoughts on One Pocket with Poker Side Bet?

    So I have been practicing one pocket a lot lately. I've also had this set of balls in my collection for a bit. Tonight I realized that it might be interesting when playing for money to have two bets. One bet for each rack (or for a race) and another bet for the best hand of each rack. The best...

    One Pocket Rules Question

    How long after a ball is spotted is it okay for a player to "adjust" the spotted ball? In this clip, Jeremy Jones doesn't like the fact the balls are not touching after the ref spots the balls. I am okay with that, but then a bit later he re-adjusts the balls, even after there has been action...

    Can the bridge be used to support your bridge hand on a jump shot?

    I was just messing around on my table and I played a poor position shot and needed to jump a ball. The cue ball was close to the blocking ball and far out on the table. I set the bridge down, then used it to hold my bridge hand, I then used a dart stroke and popped the cue ball over the blocking...

    Quantity of quality of players today

    I believe there has been several discussions about the number of quality players today vs yesteryears. I would imagine some of it has to do with the availability of tables and the quality of instruction. In the example I use below, you will also see how an expert pool player vs a really good...

    Shot Clock vs Time Clock like Chess

    I think it would be interesting to see a game change from using a per shot clock to using a game time clock like in chess. You would still have matches that moved a quick as you wanted them to for TV. Just set each players time to the correct amount. Then each player could play fast to save...
