My sons 8th bday is coming, need gift ideas

[cuesblues]

Many have mentioned some good and interesting things.

He has an iPhone and iPad pro, along with most newer game systems.

For billiards, he has an engraved purple rack from delta-13. Table does have cover..Has 3 different bridge setups since he uses them all the time due to height being 7. Break and jump cue will come in time from Pechauer.

He has had a pocket bike, polaris predator 4 wheeler, yamaha ttr50 and a ktm50, at the age of 3 as I been a sponsored rider/coach since 2008. He has more gear than I do haha. He also has been exposed to firearms as I'm a former grunt in the Marine Corps. He shares my AR .22 but will eventually move onto my other ARs; 9mm, and other custom builds I have.

Just made a purchase for a Gil Castillo nylon butterfly case for Jin in a 4x8 configuration but won't be here until end of January.

That sounds like an amazing birthday for an 8 year old.
I'm sure he has a cool BMX Bicycle.

Nice case purchase too.
Haven't tried it yet but I picked up a 6x12 Castillo, to take cues around to show off

I second the Go-Pro idea for training and the videos will make a cool family archive years from now.

What is a mini cue?

Golf would be great, unfortunately I don't know anything past a mini golf course and Im still terrible at that. He tried soccer and it wasn't his thing, he kept wanting to just goto the pool hall.

 

[Black-Balled]

I hope he makes it big someday, I really do. I’m going the other way, encouraging my children to do something else. I personally think pool is a dead end. Enough negativity from me.

As far as pool related gifts, how about his very own azbilliards account?

Maryjane and jaegermiester.

Sorry, I thought we met a few weeks ago in Felt Billiards. There was a tourney going on and I showed quite a few folks miniature pool cues that I make. I thought you were there.

Anyway lots of good suggestions posted here and I hope you find a great gift!

I can just see him ten years from now, putting heat on Billy Thorpe.

 

[Bad Luck]

On top of whatever else you give him, give him a big hug & a kiss on the noggin. That's what I do with my 19 year old [who has been playing pool since age 6].

Jin is one lucky kid to have a good Dad like you!

Skyscraperchris, are kids sizing available? Jin won't fit into a small in adult size haha.

Well, we opened the first couple of presents for him tonight.... The rest will be tomorrow and then Sat at Felt Bar for his bday party..... with a few straggling presents coming at end of January hopefully.

Late presents will be..... couple of toys collectibles from overseas from my best friend in California and a Gil Castillo butterfly case from me.....

the box from Deanoc on here contained a few combat figurines, comic books (he got really excited about that), couple of western DVD's and even a few packages of PEZ..... What kid doesn't jump up and down over PEZ.

Jin also received an awesome XMas card from Kimmo in Finland.... Kimmo, thank you for that.

 

[Z-Nole]

How about a brother and some fishing tackle so he can get outside and have some fun. Plus when those tough times hit and he goes bust you’ll know he can always feed himself.

 

[TEAM SLO]

That's actually a good idea.... thanks
