I am asking out of curiosity, and it is also of interest to me with my involvement in the pool world.
  • What league do you play in? APA, BCA, TAP, VNEA or other
  • Do you play in local or national tournaments?
  • What table brand does your pool hall use?
  • What size pool table?
  • Cue preferred wood or carbon fiber?
  • What brand cue?
 
I play APA and BCA. Our local tables are all Diamond Blue Label 7ft for league. I shoot solely with Carbon shafts. I have several Jerry Olivier cues as well as several Lucasi cues. I have a local cuesmith building 2 full splice (from a Prather and TNT blank)

Thank you for sharing. I play BCA. I like that I get to play 5 different players in one night. My main cue is a Jerry Olivier with a McDermott G-4 wood shaft. I tried Carbon Shaft and I really like it, but I seem to play better with my wood shaft, almost 20 years of playing with it might factor in.

  • What league do you play in? APA, BCA, TAP, VNEA or other - APA and NAPA
  • Do you play in local or national tournaments? - Local
  • What table brand does your pool hall use? - Diamond 7 ft. However both leagues "travel" in the area, so table size and brand depend on where we are playing that week.
  • What size pool table? Home is a Steepleton 8 ft. oversize
  • Cue preferred wood or carbon fiber? - prefer carbon fiber shaft
  • What brand cue? - Predator butt with Jacoby Black V4 shaff

USA pool league, BCA, and a local money league.

Probably 8-10 local and regional tournaments a year.

Diamond. 7' and 9'. Most leagues and tournaments are on 7 footers since there are so many more of them available in the area.

Old school wood.

Nitti custom.
 
Currently I play in a seniors and city pool leagues and have played on a VNEA team for one season .

As for cues wood Mike Gulyassy Sledgehammer break cue made in 2010 and my playing cue is one he made in 2005 .

I also have a older Predator SP cue I'll use every blue moon .

As for tables Valley 7' bar tables even if I'd rather play on 9' tables or even a 10' as I enjoy a good challenge !

Meucci
 
- I used to play BCA, but now I only play Ultimate Pool League. I love the offensive format and the shot clock.
- I'll play in any local tournaments that are"open", and any big tournament around the country that my schedule allows.
- All Diamond table at my local spot.
- The league is on the 7', but I mostly practiced gamble on the 9'.
- Carbon
- Cute SVB Gen II
 
Another cue I've truly enjoyed playing with is a old Dufferin Sneaky Pete bar cue a friend of mine turned into a 2 piece cue that's over length and even with a bit of a lift in the shaft when rolled across a pool table it still hits a ball very !

The down side of it besides the lift is the length it's a challenge to shoot some shots with a wall or some other obstruction near the table but when there's a lot of space around the table it still plays lights out !
