Ours cost about 400 dollars, but we needed new cushions all the way around and we ordered custom felt, Sonomas 860.  That felt was a more professional grade and was considerably thinner than your average felt so the ball speed was much faster.  To find someone to do ours we just asked the owners/managers of several pool halls in the area.  We had no trouble finding someone to come right to the house and do it for us.  If you do not need new cushions on it you may want to consider doing it yourself.  If you order the felt online it is pretty cheap and the actual job is not hard.  We recovered our other two tabels after the first one was done.  If you think you might be interested in going that route then you should check the book "Minnesota Fats On Pool".  The last part of the book is an instruction manual for redoing your own felt.  That only applied if your have leather pockets.  If you have an old bar table then the felt is usually glued to the slate on those and you will need to hire someone to do it for you.  \n\nFor the new legs, check with the Olhausen store in San Diego.  They do all kinds of work to the pool tables there and make them.  I was able to get a great price on a set of new leather pockets from them that were used but in great condition.  They may come across used legs or slightly marked up legs they will sell you.

it is really funny looking at all the questions about a swimming pool, and pool maintenance, and my pool has a leak, and my water is green.  \n\nATTENTION all owners of a swimming pools.  questions and answers to your swimming pool conundrums are found at the "HOME & GARDEN" section of yahoo answers and at bare minimum the "SWIMMING" sports section found directly under this snooker & pool section.\n\nthank you for actually reading before you post a question.  i bet you are the same people post womens panties on ebay under the automotive section.

I'd suggest buying a used set, that way you'll get more for your money.  Start with the yellow pages and place a few calls to see what your local area offers.  Either try eBay, Play-it-Again-Sports, your local Golf Discount, yard/estate sales and even some Pro Shops have previously owned clubs.  If you want "New", most manufacturers make a cheap set.  Just remember, you get what you pay for.  \nI personally like the Titleist clubs but you might enjoy Callaway, Ping, Wilson, and many others.

Applying any type of spin on the cue ball is called english.  In this case, you're interested in peforming what is known as 'draw'.  \n\nIn order to apply any sort of spin and accuracy, you need to make certain the following conditions are met: the tip of your cue should have the same curvature as a quarter- that is, hold a quarter up to the side of your cue's tip and check that the "roundness" is approximately the same.\n\nNext, you should apply a fair amount of chalk, as this is what causes the friction between the ball and your stick.\n\nNow imagine a point dead center of the cue ball, and that point is exactly the size of your cue- tip.  The spot you want to aim for is one cue-tip below the center.  Hold your stick parallel with the table- don't raise the butt end up as this will cause a jump shot.  \n\nDraw your stick back smoothly, and stroke smoothly forward.  You don't actually need a lot of force- you need to make certain you follow throuh your shot- that is, your cue should end up in a spot 3-4 inches past the starting point of the cue ball.\n\nI've been playing pool for 18 years, it's tons of fun!  Here is a resource you may like:

Stick to Riley - they're the best! I've had mine for over 15 years and, through advice, my friends have bought the same. No problems to report so why look for something different. I can't believe it's going to change your game that much. If anything, I get a buzz out of saying that my cue is very old (a bit like me) but it still works as well as it used to.\nOn a serious note, if you are worried about the type of wood, weight etc. then buy your cue from a snooker club. Most clubs will allow you to 'try out' the cue before purchase which may put you at ease.\nYes, I suppose that you will feel more confident with a 'good' cue in your hand but, personally, I don't think it matters that much.\nI could rabble on for ages but I don't know how good you are or could become so what I say could be fruitless.\nDon't spend a fortune on a dream. A lot of the top snooker players started out with not much more than a piece of wood with a chalked tip at the end.\nIf you are not thinking of going professional or such-like spend your money on more play rather than the tools you work with.\nGood luck - I'll look out for your name!

Hey shooter whats up? I can't say that I have a particular favorite brand of pool cue. I currently own four different cues from four different makers. I use them all from time to time. They are McDermott , Viking , Falcon and Brunswick. Oh, I also use a McDermott jump, break stick. I like them all and they all feel very comfortable to me. These are the things that they all have in common , 19 ounces , 58 inches long , 13 millimeter hard tips, wood to wood joint construction and irish linen wraps. And I use a padded triangle tip on my break cue. If I had to pick just one to keep it would probably be my McDermott only because it was my first. Take it easy shooter , talk to ya later.

i doubt you can buy one of those replacement pins...but i could be wrong.  you can check the website (if there is one) for the brand that you have.  swiss balls are relatively cheap nowadays so, if all else fails, just get a new one.

The raquet you have a link to at TW is for advanced players, you can buy it, if you want to demo it you should try and go to a club. It's best for faster swinging players.\nThe Wilson Pink HOPE is for anyone who plays tennis mainly for fun.\nIf you are an advanced player, you best to go online at TW, and if possible, you should try to demo the raquets before you buy them, so you know the feel of it.\nMake sure that you keep the same grip size of your raquet, even if you are a beginner, it is extremley important, if you don't, you can get tennis elbow, and in some cases you would have to get surgery.

Hello spin\n\nThere is a difference in golf balls, some have more dimples then others , some have a harder compression then others, some 2 piece or 3 piece and so on.\n\nIt would be a good idea to ask him what type of balls he uses, not that it really matters because im sure he would appreciate whatever kind you get him. I dont think you could go wrong with say , Titelest NXT tour 90 compression, they are very good. Just so you know the difference in compression, the balls with black numbers are 100 comp, red numbers are 90 comp and blue numbers are 80 comp.\n\nMaybe a big bag of tees and a nice golf towel would make him happy, it doesnt take much to make a golfer happy\n\nLeon

My buddy, eightbraker, makes some great points.  At least one snooker and one carom table would be good to have.  There should be several TV's playing pool-related videos, maybe some tournament footage, instructional videos, trick shots, etc.  There should be pool posters, photos and other memorabilia on the walls.  I love it when the owners of a pool hall show that they have respect and passion for game by showing some old images of the great players of the past and present.  Full bar, with essential bar food, but no main course meals.  A pro shop would be nice, but more for accessories, like extra chalk, tip tools, scuffers, gloves (if you're into that), books, magazines.  I don't think the pro shop needs to be a cue supplier or repair center.  I think billiard retail stores should cover that.  Cues, cases, balls, and all of the bigger things should be handled by retail stores.  It should be open very late.  You did say "ideal".  I know there are bar times, but I never go to bed that early.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
