I have some of each and want to sell them but have no idea what they are worth in today's market. Looking for ideas about what would be the best way to answer that question or even find out if there is any interest in them. I haven't been on this forum for a long time but according to what I...

I am almost 70. A couple of more months. I have lived most of my life in central Ohio. Played pool in various forms for over 50 yrs. Hung out in a lot of different places to play pool. Old fashioned pool rooms, bars, bowling alleys, ect. Thanks for telling it like it really is. Its a game I...

You all might want to check out what Dee Adkins is doing to teach kids the game of pool. I agree pool is having a hard time of it in today's culture, but I heard yesterday that people are buying vinyl records again and cassette tapes are making a comeback.

I am 69 yrs old and have gambled since I was in grade school in some form or another. I still have the 1st Beatles album I won playing 1 on 1 basketball or maybe it was horse, another basketball game we used to play. When I started playing pool that's all we did was gamble 25 cents a game 9 ball...

Where can I buy these tips that I can be sure I am getting the real thing? I keep hearing that there are a lot of fakes out there.

Do all tips glaze over? Are there any that don't? It seems like some do more then others to me.

Found it. Did not think it would be that ez. Seyberts has a bunch of them.

I had a video cassette of a Grady Mathews 1 pocket instructional tape that I think might have been one of his first ones on 1 pocket, and I gave it to a guy at the pool room I used to play in a long time ago. Looking back I realize it was very good and would like to get another copy of it in...

Hello I haven't been on here much for a while till lately. Been busy working on other things. But I can relate to what has been posted here. The part about lying about your age though. I don't get that. It did make me laugh though.

I own 6 cue balls but have played with several others that were different then mine, but will confine this post to the ones I own. I am also retired and play pool just about every day, and have a small scale and a digital micrometer. I agree with the poster that said there should be more...

Thank you. This is the info that I was looking for! A friend and I both have red circle q balls from the same place that look different. We both got them from the same place, but a long time apart. His is darker and weighs a quarter oz more according to my scale @ 5.92.

There are 2 red circle cue balls for sale on Seyberts. One is a lot less money then the other. The expensive one is sold as being Aramith. How can you tell the difference? They look the same to me. Just wondering.

Thank you for your input. I have always set up very low, but never thought about the golfer thing. That sounds like worth trying. I'm going to take a look at that tomorrow when I go to practice.

The advantage for shorter players is almost unfair is so true. I am 6'2 and playing on a table with a 29in. surface height like Valleys kills my back in a very short time, but when I play all day on Diamonds no problem.

Thanks, I was thinking30, but wanted to make sure.

Is there a standard for the height of the "playing surface" of a pool table?

I would be ok with call shot, call safe for all the games, but I am ok with BCA and Valley rules 8 ball, and slop for 9 ball. I don't play pro speed. I play pool for fun. For me its a hobby. Gambling in pool is pretty much dead, but that's a whole different discussion. I'd rather gamble at the...

What do you all think about these rules for 10 ball? just 10 ball, not 8 or 9 ball.

Everyone who plays pool, plays for something. They may have fun playing, but they are not playing for fun. Anyone that's played for a while knows this is true, so please stop with the I just play for fun.

I like you posts. I only play video poker at the casinos. Maybe if I am in Vegas on vacation I will throw a $20 in a machine to see what happens. There's one I kind of like, can't remember the name of the game. I thought about a pool room when I retired from my real job, but the wife said no. I...
