I've just been in the habit of buying them sporadically when I see them at the pool hall, but I'm thinking of just subscribing to one.

What's the best publication and why? Better articles/insights/tournament coverage/etc...
 
It's between BD and IP. They both are good. The only thing being that IP has in the past had problems getting it out to the players where BD is ALWAYS on time.
 
They both cover the major tournaments, however, IP has better coverage of the regional tournaments. Other than that, it depends on the group of columnists you like the best. Unfotunately, I like some on each. :confused:

IP does have more problems with circulation and, for some unknown reason, they never send me anything to renew, at the end of my subscription, and I end up missing a couple of issues. :eek:
It also seems like IP is getting thinner, each month.

Pool & Billiard falls into the same group as BD and IP and should also be considered. Again, they cover all of the majors and have a good group of columnists. P&B is the only one I do not subscribe to currently, but I am considering it.

Inside pool definitely has to take the cake for me... 2 years ago i was published in there and requested a ton of copies to share with family and such... i also subscribed for it... well, i have never paid a renewal fee for my subscription however i still receive it to this day, every month like clockwork... so... as far as i know its the best because i haven't paid for it in a year... just food for thought...

also when i requested all those copies they gave me like 3 of them for free and charged me next to nothing for the other gazillion copies i requested...
 
I would have said Inside pool, but for the last two fully paid subscriptions, I have recieved a total of 3 magazines. All I get is the runaround when I contact them so I say F**k Inside Pool!
 
I subscribe to all 3. I like them all. It is a bit overkill tho' and I will be cutting back. I think I will not resubscribe to PB because it costs more and I don't like thier customer service. They kept sending me renewal notices even tho' I was paid for another year.

I have to agree here, I was doing fine until I re-upped for 3 years and then they just stopped coming, I'd be mad except I go to enough events to get all the issues free. I happen to like JR and Sally but they have some issues (with their issues).

No doubt about it, its the one where Jenn Barretta was featured in !!! gotta love that magazine
 
a year or 2 ago i woulda said inside pool, but between the subscrip probs and how the magazine seems to keep gettin thinner with less pool playing info and more tourny coverage, id say its a tie between it and billiards digest. I go back an reread old copies of inside pool and theyre great. If think id skip a subscrip all together and try to buy old copies lol.
