BCA Billiard Trade Show/ Expo, Las Vegas

[sunnyday]

BCA's (Billiard Congress of America) annual trade show/ Expo is going on in Las Vegas and wanted to share some cool pics:smile:

Here is "Stripped" :yeah: Diamond Table - showing off it's mutiple leveling thingies and variety of colors for Diamonwood.


Diamond Ball Polisher - it never stopped running, as a matter of fact, there was a time they forgot to turn it off at the end of day and returned next day to find balls still being cleaned. At 4 pm, after being cleaned and spinning all day, balls were barely warm... D'oh! Is that Bob Jewett's brief case? uttahere:


Coery Deuel was showing off his skills and the stocky dude is RKC (Real King Cobra)


A fan asked for an autographed ball for his son :smile:


This machine was pretty cool. Ping Pong Ball Shooter.

I don't know, but it seems Pool players have high interests in tanning booths...


One of many interesting tables.


Fatboy - outraged because he missed a shot...
No, it's one of those stroke training cues. It's concept is that the spring will bend if you don't follow through straight or shoot straight...I didn't get it. I couldn't get it to bend


Pressure point sandles which is supposed to massage your feet while you stand or walk.


Don't be a fool and ever play this man one handed pool. He can runout one handed!


I will get some more pics and post it later.

... D'oh! Is that Bob Jewett's brief case? ...

Clearly not. On mine the detonator button is visible from that angle.

Thanks!

How was the crowd? Doesn't look like too many in your photos. Anyway, if you have any more photos, put them up!

I wanted to go this year, but just couldn't get away

Greg Sullivan, the owner of Diamond Pool Tables. He plays pretty good One Pocket and Banks too.

The show isn't generally open to public but for people who are in the industry. Lots of whole sale deals going on in there.

Needless to say, there really weren't that much people. I've heard the show has decreased (vendors) about 1/3 since few years.

I just got home, so give me a minute.

More pics from EXPO

They had some fancy Juke Boxes.


Team Mezz- Mika I, Caroline P. and Kaz (the owner of Mezz Cues)


All of our jaws dropped at this sign... You can't beat 'made in China' prices!

Of course, one particular spot had people waiting in line. I wanted to try but didn't get a chance


I could see this in Charlie "HillBilly" Bryant's home.

Billiard Table...


PACman


BreakRack over the Paragon Diamond Table :love2:


These two are hilarious together.
SVB: You know, you're the only one I couldn't beat that year in 10 Ball. Only one!
Corey: yeah? what about such and such? didn't he beat ya?
SVB: Nah... that year I beat everyone but you. Remember this shot you played in game 4? with 2 and 7 frozen together?
Corey: yeah, yeah. You should had come off the rail first!

Shane and Corey went on and on about similar stories - I mean, they must have played hundreds of matches and they can recite certain matched ball by ball


I felt like a jack ass when my camera's battery died... Sorry but this will have to do

Jay, it's miserably hot here. While I was driving around today, the temp gage in my car went up and down from 118-122. It was slightly cooler when I drove under a shade or trees...

Keep cool

It's been well over a 100 here in the Valley, and high 90's in downtown L.A. But where I live (Lawndale) rarely does it go over 80. I'm close enough to the ocean (three miles) to get that ocean breeze all day long. I never even turn on the air, just open the windows and let the breeze cool the house. Makes it kind of hard to go somewhere where I know I'll be roasting.
