Let’s Play Pool

Wednesday Jul 15, 2009

When I was 18 years old (and I wasn’t able to go to college coz I opted for a short course instead) I had all the time to go out with my classmates after class which by the way is only 3 hours in a day. Aside from hanging out in a diner, what we usually do is play billiards.

Boyfriend and I used to play pool in a buddy’s house. And 2 out of 5 games, I won. I don’t know if he was just making me win that time. LOL. Up until now, I still don’t know how to play the real game. I may be able to shoot the balls but that’s only because of pure luck.

One of my nephews loved watching a pool game on TV. That’s the time I understood that there are tricks how to make a certain shot, just like golf or basketball. It’s not just taking the shot. I guess I need to understand the mechanics of the game and how the pool cues differ and are used to take those shots.

I have learned those techniques from PoolDawg. Aside from the instruction guide, recommendations and how to play billiard (for newbies like me), you can browse through a great selection of Pool Cue tips, cases, pool tables; accessories like holders, chalkers, bridge sticks and heads, gloves, weight bolts, bumpers and even repair tools.

The items are categorized by brands, prices and sizes for easy searching. And if you order over $75, you get a free shipping. And they ship their products all over the world. Wow.
