Interesting Billiard Terms Just Learned

[ibuycues]

I was scrolling on Marketplace today and picked up a few interesting terms I hadn’t heard before:

New top just put on the table. We went with red.
Special, collapsible queues….
All balls included, appear really round when looking at them
Antique table. Early 1990s…..
Bummer pool tables, two of them.
Selling Dad’s table, but it is missing the pockets.
Whew….

I'd be tempted to call on that one.

I bet you could convince him to sell it cheap since it's defective!

Watchin' Kaci when he played Shaw in the US Open finals was Brutal. He took 40 seconds on each shot, but when he got down on the shot, at about 35 seconds, he was allowed by the rules to keep ''swingin it'' waaaaaaaaay past the 40.
Now tho, I enjoy his game allot.

I did hear about the Torres/Sang match.
But, it took too long to remember.

My joke in the 1 pocket is slow thread... "Watched a few noobs try to play 8 ball on a 3 cushion table, still got done faster than a 1 pocket game"

... Bummer pool tables, ....

That describes all of the tables I've been on recently. Maybe it's me.

Furniture is not antique until it is 50 years old.
Cars become antiques at 25.

When/where I grew up, there was old style, classic, vintage, and if it was at least 100 years old it was an Antique.

Years ago I was selling/ showing a cue and guy I was talking to said "dont beggar it to me".
