    Have You Wondered About Pool Chalks?

    So far, the Ghost products I have tried are very top quality – the pool shaft polisher spray and the ball polisher spray, although it’s likely both might very well be the exact same solution, just packaged differently. I might give the chalk a try.

    Restoring a table and room from 1770

    They could’ve at least scrounged up a set of old clay balls.

    Restoring a table and room from 1770

    Just curious how they plan to finish off the rest of the table? With rail cushions similar to what they had originally, with cloth similar to original and balls as well?

    Restoring a table and room from 1770

    A billiard table has no pockets, this was a pool table since it had pockets and a ball return. I never heard mentioned of the size of the table - it looked like it could have been a 10 foot table.

    Yesteryear Pool Hall's - Still around.

    I’ve owned / operated a pool room and grill for 30+ years and I can confirm that most younger people carry very litttle cash anymore, if any, unless they happen to work in a service job with cash tips. Their payroll checks go directly in to their bank accounts to cover their credit and debit...

    Yesteryear Pool Hall's - Still around.

    I’m guessing they don’t care, but accepting cash only in this day and age makes no sense from a business perspective.

    Pooldawg or Sybert's

    Seyberts has always done a professional job on retips for me, at a very reasonable price (at least as of 5-6 years ago) and a fast turnaround time.

    Filler’s 3-Rail Kick in the Reyes Cup … Was it the Right Choice?

    As good a player as he is, although he failed to even hit the ball, obviously he chose to shoot it this way because he thought he had a better chance to actually make the ball than his chances of getting a good kick safety by playing the easier kicking route. If you gave him 3 attempts, I’d bet...

    is expensive chalk actually worth it or is masters just fine

    It happened to me last night on a shot in a crucial moment of a match - it’s easier to accept if you blame the chalk!

    Did Skylar Hess get the wrong call here?

    She didn’t even attempt to question the referee’s call and went right back to her seat after the call, which leads me to believe she must’ve known she touched it, even though it is not evident in the video.

    is expensive chalk actually worth it or is masters just fine

    V10, as I found I miscued more with the Pyro, although that could’ve been my fault.

    is expensive chalk actually worth it or is masters just fine

    Even if you play 10-15 hours a week, you may get 3-6 months out of 1 piece, depending on whether you chalk up after every shot or not.

    is expensive chalk actually worth it or is masters just fine

    In my opinion, the biggest advantage of the expensive chalks is the cleanliness – on your hands, on the shaft, on the cue ball and on the pool table cloth. Secondly would be the fact that it lasts so much longer than master chalk.

    Lava Soap to Remove Stains on Cloth

    When you say a gallon of water and the woolite can you explain a little more how you got that water/woolite on the cloth? With a soaking wet cloth doused in it just one small section of the table at a time, or just poured directly on the cloth?

    Playing the Ghost?

    For a 14.1 practice session that I want to measure some type of score to let me know how well I shot, I like to go 10 innings, always starting each inning with an ideal but varied full rack break shot, shoot until you miss, record your score then re-rack to start your next inning. Total your...

    STACKED doubles field for Ultimate Pool Doubles event

    A race to 6 on small tables is about the equivalent of a race to 4 on big tables. Everyone knows the shorter the race the more chance the underdog has, but yes, this was an extremely impressive performance from the Styer’s. Add to that there was more pressure on the experienced heavy...

    STACKED doubles field for Ultimate Pool Doubles event

    It’s also worth saying that the likeliness of the Styer’s practicing this format together as much as they have cannot be overlooked.

    Taking away nothing from their awesome performance, it was on 7-foot tables.

    Lava Soap to Remove Stains on Cloth

    No. That was not my video. Our table was relatively wet, but not wet enough to use a shop vac, just a fan set at the end of the table which dried it up in about 4-5 hours.

    Where do you go to be able to watch a match that says it will be on a TV table today? Thanks!
