He was...

    The POOL ROOM- a New Year's Poem

    I was inspired recently by a PBS expose on my favorite American artist of all time- Edward Hopper. His paintings portrayed everyday Americans in simple settings, simultaneously depicting the juxtaposition of being solitary and yet, in some way- a part of something on a larger scale. From my time...

    One of my sons and I will be in Minneapolis soon. Looking for a decent room ( clean, OK area, 9 footers, decent food perhaps,) I saw a reference to CR lounge in Coon Rapids recently here- looks like only 7 foot tables- OK if no other good options, I guess. This is just for one son and I to...

    Will a Predator BK Rush Break CUE accept the Predator REAR Extension bumper and Extension Piece?

    I recently saw this cue maker's cues being listed on E bay. He is also on Facebook. He told me that he sells out of cues quite often. Yet, I have never heard any feedback from anyone on these cues. Asking prices north of $1,000 on some of his cues. Curious as to anyone's experience with Carl...

    Questions on Diamond "Pro Cut " Tables

    I have been playing solo once or twice a week for the past few months on a Diamond table. It is a 9 foot Diamond, and they were installed about 2 years ago in a very small room (3) inside a bowling alley- no one working there knows anything about pool tables. They were installed as new- so...

    The Last Great Palmer Cue

    When I think of Palmer cues, I always draw a mental picture of ebony butt sleeve and points highlighted by Mother of Pearl dots and notched diamond inlays - all contrasted by the traditional white with green spec linen wrap.
