I played in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd events. Remember having to wait in line at the change machine to get quarters for the pay tables. :oops: Also they had a "players meeting" that you HAD to attend. They then went and one by one called everyone's name and you had to verify you were there. Think...

And they don't come in to practice and many have an attitude that you owe them on league nights. My favorite was the guy who proudly showed me the cheap decal cue he bought online while standing next to the 15 or 20 new cues I had on display.

The stinkiest entrance to any business of any kind in my 74 years of life. Had to hold your breath and run up the stairs. Number 2 stinkiest, the guy in the same Hawaiian shirt every day that asked if you wanted to play one pocket as soon as you walked through the door.

Hmmm...big decision...watch grass grow, paint dry or play 1 pocket. I was better at 14.1 as well when I was younger, playing either is like deciding whether to play the whites or the seniors. Keep playing 9 ball, play lots of safeties and frustrate the youngsters. Nothing like the look on their...

I'm not getting this. $1000-1500 max. GC are around everywhere since many rooms are moving on to Diamonds. Buyers have to pay for moving and setup and recovering. The cost of cloth is $350. You are talking $1500-2000 over the purchase price of the table. Like mikemosconi posted there is a very...

If you find one, let me know. Amazin, is a great room with great customers. You have to go to NH, The Nest in Plaistow has 8' Diamonds. Strokers in Pelham is also a good room. 9' Diamonds. I am not an authority but those are the closest I know of other than Amazin.

Hi Mike, Geez..."many" years ago....how about "a short time ago" ;) Everything posted once I put the photos in. So today has been a success because I learned something new. I appreciate the kind words. Hopefully some new to the game or even a few old timers will enjoy them as well. Bob

Yeah thanks for your input. I must admit I had never seen this before. Don't really post much here anymore. Too many keyboard hyenas.

Well, I'll try this again. I still have some books available. I understand that people don't read books as much anymore, but if you check the reviews here on AZ I think you will find them easy to read and entertaining. They were written for pool players by a pool player. Still waiting for the...

Hi Lou. Long time. Can't be many that have been on here longer than us. Anyway, I did include prices.

Hmmmm...thought my profile photo would have covered that. Would have been nice if the moderator explained why you were deleted. Just a couple of words. "No photo" ...plunk....

Thanks but done already with no response as yet.

I did that for the second post but it was still deleted. I don't get it. Never had a problem posting here.

I posted a thread in the Wanted/For Sale section for my books two days ago and it disappeared. I had an email address in it so I assumed that was why. I posted one again yesterday and again it disappeared. I have no idea if I did anything wrong. I've been on AZ long before the 2004 date on my...

I published "All About Pool" monthly through the 90's and stopped publishing around 2001 due to health issues. I bought it from Dawn Hopkins around 92. I also ran the AAP tour and the Tri State tour but eventually just let them go (fortunately Mike Zuglan picked up the pieces) when the hyenas...

Bob- you left off "All About Pool". It was taken over by Inside Pool in 2001 when I had health issues.

Steve- I published "All About Pool" through the 90's and stopped publishing around 2001. I bought it from Dawn around 92. I also had the AAP tour and the Tri State tour but eventually just let them go (fortunately Mike Zuglan picked up the pieces) when the hyenas got to be too much to deal with...

My fraternal club has been playing with the same set of Centennials for over 30 years. I've been looking at replacing them. I see good reviews on Dynasphere Bronze and they are priced around $125. The top of their line is over $300. So what are you paying extra for?

Spoken like a person that never owned a business let alone a pool room.
