    Houston Hot Spots

    Heading to Houston this week, was wondering which rooms are most busy, and what time of day would I have the best chance of seeing the most play. I won't be playing, just watching, learning. Thanks all!!!

    wwyd 3 cushion

    I cannot figure out how to share the picture, but in Robert Byrnes "Advanced Techniques In Pool And Billiards" at the bottom of page159, it shows shooting it off of the red ball to the long rail, deep in the corner. With draw and quick stroke, the ball lengthens after contacting the two rails in...

    Billiard table finally in Des Moines

    Never use damp cloth before vacuuming!!! Make sure all the chalk is off of the cloth and then only a damp cloth. Been doing it for years that way, and have never had any chalk under the cloth. A heated table will disperse the dampness quickly, too. I've been trying to email the proprietor, but...

    Billiard table finally in Des Moines

    Made it to Big Dogs to play on the Sogaard. I'll be nice and say it was a little dirty and Tom, you were right about the balls, but I did bring a set of measles with me. The nice gal behind the counter used one of the Simonis cleaning pads on the table, which helped it slightly. Speed wasn't...

    Billiard hot spots in Denmark

    I am going to Denmark in July of next year and would love some input on where some of the Billiard hot spots would be. Any info would be much appreciated.

    Mazin Shooni to compete in Rushville!

    Dug, it's a great venue to watch billiards. You can get very close to the tables and can talk with the players between their matches. Looking at the players list, they are having great talent, great personalities and probably even better story telling!!! Usually the most important games will be...

    I think the closest is in Round Rock. 1 Verhoeven. May want to call ahead if you're looking for a game. I was the only 3-cushion player there the two times I was there. Good luck, JJ
