    Finding Places to Play

    In the Chicago area alone, I can probably think of half a dozen bars, taverns, etc... that have beautiful diamond tables. However, it is generally very difficult to find these places through traditional means (yellow pages, google, etc...). Just a couple weeks ago, I walked into a bar on the...

    Great CSI Event

    In several recently created threads, there has been clearly expressed outrage over CSI's decision to allow Shane to advance from the group qualifying round into the knockout stage in spite of the fact that he finished 2nd in his group. This decision was necessitated by Ralf Souquet's travel...

    Searing

    I was thinking about possibly purchasing a Searing cue. While I understand that it is almost impossible to order one new, there do seem to be a few that come up for sale now and then. My question is, for a relatively new (built after 2000), 4 point, veneered, Searing cue in good to excellent...

    Mosconi Cup Prediction Poll

    Given that there are a couple threads concerning the makeup of the 2014 US Mosconi Cup team that have garnered much attention, I thought it might be interesting to start a poll and then see how close we get to the final results. I've tried to include players who: a) ...seem to be in the...

    GC IV table roll

    I own a 13 year old Gold Crown IV. I bought it new in 2000 and it has only seen moderate recreational use in my house. However, due to several work relocations, it has been broken down, reassembled, and recovered no less than 4 times during the past 10 years. Furthermore, for about 3 of those...
