Does /sp/ into pool? It's clearly the top casual sport. What do you shoot with? What's your game?
Pic related are my cues, both McDermott: my shooting cue (left) is a G236 with a kamui black super soft tip. On the right is my jump/break cue,
NG-02 stinger with an added leather grip and the phenolic tip changed out to a samsara jump/break.
I'm a 9 ball player primarily but I'm really falling in love with the older games: 14.1, one pocket, 15 ball rotation, etc.

I forgot that other countries are full of poor people. Fucking snooker players.
>pool
pleb tier. snookers where its at
there is nothing more sad and pathetic than the tryhard pool guy who comes into the bar carrying his custom made, $500 Valyrian steel pool cues
literally kill yourselves, its a bar sport meant to be played with ancient bent wooden sticks, stop taking it so seriously unless you are a legit pro making legit cash at tournaments

Also bowling is better anyways

I'm qualified to shoot in nationals in Las Vegas in August, I do take it seriously. I even work in a pool hall.
You could say the same thing about fishing: you could do it with a stick and some string but that's not how people do it. It's my favorite hobby and it's worth the investment to me.

How fucking hard do people laugh at you when you rock up somewhere with 2 pool cues
>>74293049
Pool and Darts are a close one and two
Poker is a clear third,
basically any game you might fnd at the bar
bowling is me of a team sport with beer included
>>74295157
people get fish from fishing, you get buttraped by better players with cheaper cues
>>74295159
It's very common, almost standard. Do they play snooker in Australia or something? I get that you don't need a break cue in that since you're breaking very soft but in 8 and 9 ball a good strong break is typically very important.

I only paid $150 for my old Lucasi
and fuck your face, I like having a personal cue, hall cues are old and bent

Snooker. Anyone who plays other is derided.
Pool is played at bars exclusively by plebs
>>74295100
There are virtually no snooker tables in America, at least anywhere I've ever been. The ones that are here are American-size snooker tables which are only 10 feet instead of ~11.5 feet. I would like to try it sometime though.

This isn't a card shop anon. I bet your grandpa would love you to play pool with him. That's the difference.

my grand dad had his own pool table in the basement
we had fun when we were young, my cousins and I
>just won $100 in a game of 10-ball because I got a good break and was able to run out
Haters gonna hate. I have my break cue halfway paid off already and I've only had it 2 weeks
