I’m about to be on the hunt for a 7’ Diamond. New or used. Any tips on where to get one and save a little money? I’m on the gulf side of Florida north of ft Meyers.
I’ve looked on marketplace and there’s none for sale at the moment. Also- I don’t have the ability to move it. I could manage final placement and leveling if I needed to.
Thanks
I wanted to see how fast a match could be won, and this happened 😂🎱
Disclaimer: I had to use a hack to beat the hackers 🤫😂
What do you guys think, fair play or payback? 👀
Looking for people to start a pool team — Tempe / Chandler / Mesa 🎱
Hey everyone, I’m 24 and live in the East Valley. I’ve gotten really into pool recently and I’m looking for a few people around Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, or nearby who might want to start a pool team/group together.
I’m still learning and improving, so you definitely don’t need to be amazing. I’m looking for people who enjoy playing, want to get better, and would be down to meet up somewhat regularly to practice and play.
Eventually I’d like to get a team together for an APA or BCA-style league and maybe play some local tournaments too.
Beginners, intermediate players, and experienced players are all welcome. It’d actually be cool to have a mixture of skill levels.
If you’re interested, comment or DM me. We could get a few people together at a local pool hall, shoot for a couple hours, and see where it goes. 🎱
Aprieta bien pero no cierra del todo, le hace falta algo en esa parte que se ve despegada?
It’s made by a company called Steel Stix and I can’t find anything online about it.

Happened to me today, never seen cue ball react like this. Video is not sped up.
I was curious about the current PBIA Master Instructors, so I had AI compile the list of current Master Instructors, their publicly available instructor locations, and their established Fargo Ratings (when available).
The results surprised me.
I’m not trying to insult anyone personally, and I realize being a great instructor isn’t exactly the same as being a great player. But I do have a genuine question…
Should there be a minimum playing standard for someone to hold the title of PBIA Master Instructor?
The top of the list is extremely impressive, with several instructors over 650 Fargo and a couple over 700. But after the first several names, the ratings drop into the 500s, with some below 550, and a number of instructors without an established Fargo Rating at all.
At what point does playing ability matter? Can someone be considered a Master instructor if their playing ability is well below the level of many league players?
I’m honestly interested in hearing different viewpoints. Is the PBIA Master designation intended to recognize teaching ability, playing ability, or some combination of both? If it’s primarily a teaching credential, should the title make that distinction clearer? Can any of the top ones below actually teach?
Curious what everyone thinks.

As the title says,
Thanks to you folks I think I have my choices broken down into these cues. If I cant figure where to go with these, I'm just going to start looking at Players, Action, Voodoo, Outlaw, etc.
A little background...
I'm a long ago player coming back in, so I'm a bit rusty, but I have learned that I don't want to have to buy a cue more than once unless something happens to the one I get. I'm not a fan of CF shafts, so wood it will be.
Let me know your thoughts on these. Thanks again!

I’m searching the country with cheaper pool pass in game , in turkey is 3.80€ , do you know country with cheaper?
I have a pool team that plays near 87th and Antioch. It's a Tuesday traveling team. I'm looking for 2 skilled players to join the team. Please dm for info.
If this isn't allowed please delete. I'm not crowd sourcing just an invite to play pool
Hi everyone - this 8' table has been in our family for 50+ years. Always indoors, always cared for. I don't have the space for it in our new house and it's time to find a new home for it. When my parents bought it in the 70's, they were told it came from a pool hall in north Alabama and was circa 1930's - 1940's. It's got three slates, all in good condition. When we had it assembled 2 years ago, you could see handmade nails so obviously it's old. It has brand new felt, brand new bumper cushions, a brand new set of balls, brand new cues, a wall rack, chalk holder, and always in a non-smoking home. Any ideas on valuation? In the Los Angeles area, need it gone ASAP.

My friend got gifted this table from one of our other buddies. He moved it in and the middle & back right pocket have noticeable lean .. not sure if the floor is truly level under it.
Anyone know if it's easy to DIY level this table? I don't think he cares to spend the money to have it professionally leveled
Just purchased this vintage pool cue rack. Does anyone know what this round shelf is for?
Can someone explain or at least level with me what the point is playing when luck decides it's gonna fuck you up the arse?
Sometimes you play fantastic but no matter what you do, You lose.
That was tonight. Played great. But luck tonight just said no. Won my first game of the night. Lost everything since.
I am better than everyone else I played tonight but luck just said no. Every time they missed they left me nothing. Every time I missed I left them everything.
Like somebody please explain, Why useless good for nothings get all the luck and I don't?
I play for the team there. 9 times out of 10 I'm the best player in the team, From my performance and luck tonight, You'd have thought I was some bloke who picked up a cue and didn't even know what end you fire with. Explain this unfair bull
