    Color me lucky we have wide variety of pool billiards available locally I have never played too much billiards but the room closest to me has an antique Brunswick.

    Back in the old days.

    this thread reminds me of a related question. Why do carom cues often have a wood pin (wood to wood) joint? And in relation why do pool cues not?

    Lesser penalty than BIH for fouling?

    I see in black ball or is it english eight ball, (ultimate pool one of those eightball variations with snooker cut pockets) They sometimes get two shots on a foul. For the game you are playing I was thinking if it's a foul where the cue ball is not pocketed two shots from where it lies, if the...

    How Important Is it to Own/Use a Break Cue

    You don't have to break the bank to get a decent break cue. I bought my Action break/jump two months ago at my local pool hall for $150. Slightly less than what it was listed for online. It works great I may even try to learn to jump.

    How Important Is it to Own/Use a Break Cue

    Recently bought a break/jump with a phenolic tip/ferrule. After shooting with a few i couldn't deny the difference when hitting with the phenolic. Absolutely necessary? No, but I'm glad I bought it.

    Playing Cue to Break/Jump Cue

    A month or so ago I bought a simple action break/jump I might even teach myself to jump. I am happy with cue, just having the phenolic tip/ ferrule is a huge difference. I might even learn to jump lol. I made a half hearted jab and the cue ball popped off the table easily enough. I have always...

    Are there any books about the "Life" in a pool room or about one of the great "Action" pool Rooms?

    Playing off the rail was a good read. I had a book about old time greats that was borrowed and never returned. It was a good book.
