Star Billiards--The Drone Of Pocketed Balls

[mosconiac]

I was goofing around on youtube this evening and found a series of vids from Star Billiards Center in the PI. After a few moments I realized that the drone in the background was the sound of balls hitting the back of the pockets. Not a clanker to be heard. LOL

Check out this famous poolhall for yourself.

I've heard stories of how when 2 guys match up, someone handles the $$$, racks the balls, referees, and takes care of the bridge...like in this video:

They get a small cut of the winnings for their effort.

free but bring your game!

yes free but . . . you have to be able to play a little. there was an article about this place and they interviewed the owner. he said that you can come and play for free but if they notice you banging balls around and not being able to run a few balls then he will send one of his boys over to your table and politely ask you to leave and not come back.

that's what i read. they were talking about this place during the first year that world's was held at PICC, and the qualifiers were held at Star.

also it's supposed to be the best place to find anything predator in the philippines.

that's what i read. .

we need some pool halls like that in the U.S. maybe if you made it "exclusive" more people would want to learn how to play. People always want to get into places just because theyre not allowed.
