    Is it bad to use my regular pool playing cue...

    I've always wanted to play cushion billiards as a way to improve my pool game. I went to a place that have these nice Gabriel's tables the other day with a pool buddy of mine and it was great! We were just playing straight rail and having a hard time getting to 10 points but it was definitely a...

    Stupid Rules!

    Hi AZ! So I like to consider myself a player. I have played for many years under a wide variety of rules. Over the last year I have been playing more seriously and now I can appreciate things like a good hit or safety play. I play BCA and am aware of the APA rules and even WPA rules. Yesterday...

    Great Movie Scenes featuring Pool

    I was just watching Tombstone yesterday, I've seen it many times before but it's been a few years. While it is definitely a great movie in it's own right, there is one scene that just speaks to me. The scene when the Earp brothers are at the bar discussing business while playing pool. Morgan...

    Match Dispute... How would you call it?

    So this situation involves girls and timing... The Pretext: I got a text asking to play a race to 3 for $10 bucks to start. We were both kind of pressed for time.

    So I was just checking out craigslist and I come across this Joss. The guy only wants $150, and says it's hardly been used so it's in almost brand new condition.
