For example : Player calls 9 ball in corner pocket. Cue ball hits the 9 first but also hits one of opponents ball that sinks BEFORE the 9 ball is pocketed, and then the 9 ball follows. Is this a legit shot? Basically can you make one of your opponent ball before your own if you hit your...

Wooooooohoooooo! So stoked right now. I know it might sound really silly but I'm so happy about my first break and run. It's been two months since I've started playing regularly and practicing a bit on the bar box where I work. I've gotten progressively better but tonight I made my first break...

Hey guys! I work in a bar as a poker dealer and I decided that it could be nice to host weekly friendly 8 ball tournaments. We have a nice bar box and a nice pool of players. I am looking for inputs as to how I should proceed and what the format should be. I'm thinking that we could attract at...

In the search for my next cue I have stumbled upon the Jacoby D4. http://www.jacobycustomcues.com/cuesdetail.php?ID=352 I am fairly new to the cue business and I have been playing seriously for a few months. I think I outgrew the beginner's cue I first bought and I was looking for something...

Hey! I guess this happens to most of us. Tonight I got a nice blue stain on an expensive pair of beige pants and I immedately panicked and try to rub it off with a wet towel and some dish soap. I then came home and washed the pants but after it came out there was still a faint blue stain...

Hello to all my fellow AZ'ers! I have been playing pool with a very basic cue for a little while now. And right now I feel like buying a new, better one as a gift to myself. I want to spend 500-700$ on a cue, can be brand new or used but ''like new'' condition. My favorite style are the...

Balabushka is by far my favorite cue maker. I just love the simple design and the colorful pointed veeners, matched with the white linen wraps. I am looking to upgrade my playing cue to something mid range.. possibly looking into the 500-700$ price range and I would really like to have...

Hey! I'm just wondering what makes a specific Break Cue better for breaking than a regular playing cue? Is it the weight? The harder tips? I've started playing pool more seriously a few weeks ago and I'm still wondering if it would be ok to use my playing cue to break. It's a cheap 150$...

Must be a really naive question but I'm wondering what exactly is the ''gray'' that you see on some shafts? Is it a special finish? Is it what it looks like when it's sanded down? I'm just wondering.

I've been wondering. It seems all the top pros are either tiny pinoys or average sized americans/europeans. Are there any good players that are on the taller side? I'm talking 6'1'' ++ Just need some inspiration, being 6'3'' myself. Tends to be harder to have a good stance sometimes.

Does it make more sense to practice on larger tables? If you can nail longshots on a 10 footer it should be easier on a bar box right? I'm guessing it's a little harder to navigate the cue ball on a tight bar table though.

Hello! I bought myself my first cue a few weeks ago and I already want more! I will probably end up using the cue I bought as a breaking cue for a while since it was on the cheaper side. I'm a big fan of natural wood tones on a cue, sneaky pete type. Not a big fan of complicated inlays or...

I'm looking for the cream of the crop. I've wandered around youtube for the past few weeks watching a bit of everything... 9ball, 8ball, 10ball, mosconi cup, us open, worlds etc. I'm wondering if there are specific matches that are really classic and must-watches. If you have a link it would...

What's up AZBilliards! I have just registered to this forum after learning from a friend that this was the best online community regarding billiard. It was also the first time I had to google the answer to a security question while registering to a forum :grin:. So here I am, 25 years old guy...
