    How to get others interested in more than just 8-ball and 9-ball?

    I’d really like to get into playing 1p, 14.1, and maybe even banks. Problem is, all anyone in my area wants to play is 8-, and to a lesser extent 9-ball. What’s a good way to convince people to try something new? I mostly play at social clubs with leaguers Would I be better off just putting out...

    Creeps in pool streams

    We’ve all watched pool streams, and we’ve all seen the idiots in the chats. Ever seen borderline creepy personalities? Been watched the WPBA tournament the last few days. Both the official streams, and side streams. Little Savannah Easton is drawing some straight up weirdos to the streams...

    Material choices for break, jump, jump/break shaft

    Disclaimer: archer over arrow, yadda yadda. Just getting that out of the way beforehand. Thinking of getting a shaft upgrade for my current break shaft and jump/break. Both currently have wood shafts, both 5/16x14 joints. Seems like choices are limited on that front, as most companies are...

    Approximate value on old Joss j/b

    Looks to have been made in the 90s, judging by the logo. Purchased recently, just looking for approximate value. Had it for a little under a week, but honestly, the spreads I’m getting with the phenolic tip are better than what I’ve been getting with my Joss Thor Hammer.

    My Little Sailor Collection

    My little collection of sailor cues. I bought my first through a seller on AZB around 7-8 years back. Just got the other (with the off white butt cap) this week, again from an AZB seller. I think 14.1 is a great game, so to own some cues made by such a great ambassador almost feels like a...

    Pockets on 9' Wilhem-Saunier tables

    Anyone have experience playing on them? These tables seem to rattle a lot of shots that would go in on other tables. My 8-ball team plays out of a club that has one, and experience the same thing at another club with a Saunier-Wilhem 9' table. Have not experienced it on a 8' table I've played on...

    10-ball with 9-ball rules-why?

    I sensed a debate starting in the 2015 DCC Bigfoot thread, and thought a separate discussion would be good. One rule: keep it respectful, to each other, and to a great event. The topic: why play 10-ball with 9-ball rules? Imo, it takes away from the nature of having a game that is separate...

    TheAmerican Legion I play league out of has a good, sturdy old Saunier Wilhem table, but it needs new cloth and cushions. I'm looking for a mechanic who could give an estimate on the costs, before I can meet with the two league teams that play out of there, and the club to go about raising the...
