I like playing at bars like this, where there's friendly folks, and the owner takes real good care of the tables...:heh

And here's the perfect cue to take with you if you're playing at bars like that......:heh two pics >>>

A couple of years ago my youngest son talked me into playing in an 8 ball league. The second night I played the bar was full of bikers from every club I've ever heard of. The Bandido's stood out due to numbers and since I once knew their sergeant-at- arms (before he went to prison for manslaughter). Turned out that the bar was/is a neutral site and the bikers periodically meet there for negotiations. I found it hard to relax.

If any of youse guys are ever up here in my neck of the woods, you're welcome to come over to my house to play some pool on my 100 yr. old antique table, and also bowl a few games...

I set up a little man-cave in my basement - nothing too fancy but I like it......here's a small pic of it >>>

p.s. And if you're flying in and don't have a car, just let me know and I'll have my chauffeur pick you up at the airport...:heh

Anybody know what those extra balls are used for in this set?

Never saw a set like that. There are 23 OBs. Even Baseball Pool uses only 21 balls. Wonder if it could be some combination of pool & snooker? I'm guessing the extra 8 balls are red, but there's no way to tell.

Perhaps Bob J. would know...

They could be red, doc. It looks like there are seven of them with a small white dot and an eight with a larger white dot (smaller than on numbered balls though) with a black dot in the center of it.

Rod probably would know what they are because that's a younger him in the picture isn't it? JK! If you see this, Rod, how've you been since that hurricane chased you inland into the Hill Country?

Amazingly I'm well, playing pool 6 days a week. Nice to see you back in the pack Skin. I would've guessed baseball, if that's not it, I've no idea.

Not exactly the type of equipment on which Max is accustomed to playing.. Well at least the shed keeps the rain off the table (mostly).

IIrc, it was in the summer of 2018.

That was when Ronnie had a made for TV road trip "hustling pool" with several episodes -- Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle -- it was called. If you google you should find some video episodes from that series -- one of which he came to Chicago.

Yea, I think Hendy was part of that too IIRC

Ghost, was the Brit using a pool-style cue? It's hard to tell from the picture, but that's what it looks like. I doubt that he'd use his snooker pole. After playing on 6 x 12s, those 9' tables must have looked to him like bar boxes do to us.

Yes he was. I can't remember if he got O'Sullivan into a golf game or not.

I'm wondering if they play that in the U.K.?

I dont know but I am sure he could play it pretty sporty if so...
