I'm thinking of buying a cue for my boyfriend for Christmas. He hasn't played much until very recently but is a pretty solid player. He has a lot of interest in continuing to play and improve. I'm on a bit of a budget - $100 max - and have been looking at Action cues. They're inexpensive and...

My Uncle Steve passed away this weekend. I'm not normally into posting memorials on the internet but I thought maybe I'd share a moment - a pool-related memory. When we were kids our families would all get together (usually at my parents house) for Thanksgiving. When my Mom and Aunt would get...

So the general consensus seems to be that interest in pool has been waning...pool halls are closing there doors left and right. I went to the pool hall near my house in upstate NY for the first time (just moved back to the area) and the owner and I had a good talk, part of which was basically...

I posted this questions originally under a different forum and was told I should re-post it here. I've been playing for a few years and have just recently made some improvements -- making sure my elbow is near 90 degrees, keeping my back hand wrist straight (i had a tendency to bend it). It...

I've been playing off and on few the past few years and really started to seriously get into the game a few months ago. I've been told I'm a decent player -- great bridge, good stance, good follow through. The house pro at the pool hall I frequent has been giving me some tips the past couple...
