or décor to match and blend in with your game room can be a task in itself. However, you want it to be a place where people will be excited to come to and not want to leave. In fact, every game room should have décor that will bring it to life.

Whether you want a theme décor or just some knick knacks to spice it up a bit, there are many ideas you can choose from. Think about the size of your game room. That will determine how much you will be able to do in there.

Some suggestions to spice it up include neon pictures, neon signage, vintage signage and posters, clocks and mirrors. One of the first places you’ll want to check is eBay. They have just about everything you’re looking for. It’s unlikely that you will have a hard time finding everything you need there. Or at least you may be able to find most of what you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for a clock, you may want to look at clocks with a specific theme. There are sports clocks, fishing clocks and car clocks. Of course, there are billiard clocks and bar room clocks to choose from. You have your choice of choosing what kind of clock you think will blend in with your game room. On eBay, you will probably find some that you can’t find anywhere else.

You can decorate your walls with prints and posters. They can be different themes of your choosing. You can also decorate with tin signs. The ones for the early 1900s era are some of the best ones, along with the old fashioned sodas. You can probably find some of these vintage items on eBay as well.

There are also Norman Rockwell prints available if that’s what you like. There are so many ideas that you can do to decorate your game room, it’s unbelievable. The fun part about this is you don’t have to keep the décor up forever.

When you’re ready for a change, you can remove those and replace them with something else. Besides, you may get tired of seeing the same thing on your walls year after year. Then again, it really depends on your taste.

One of main things about doing this is that you don’t have to overdo it. A few pieces of different items will work just fine. You don’t want the game room to look cluttered. If you’re not decorator savvy, you may want to enlist the services of someone that has some expertise in decorating game rooms.

You want your game room to look nice and stand out. You will be pleased with what you can do when you jazz it up a bit.

Whe were the very top performers of all time in their sports’ field??
… the most dominant of all??

To me, there is no question at all!!

Wlater Lindrum in billiards absolutely dominated the game worldwide for a great period.
They kept changing the rules to try and thwart his dominance, but all to no avail!!
In that sense, you could call him ‘King of kings’ in sport.

Only just a hair behind him, in my view, was ‘Sir Donald Bradman’ – king of the cricket bat!!
He was the only player in history to have basically averaged 100 runs each time he went in to bat!!!! … that was his average!!
No one else has ever got near it – worldwide – in the 70 years since!

What think ye??
Sorry … the name of the all-time top billiard king is ‘Walter Lindrum’

When choosing a billiards lamp you have to consider several factors, including:

 

1. What is the type of look and/or feel you are trying to convey in the room?

2. What area of the room do you plan to light?

3. How many lamps do you have and where will they be place?

4. What is the limit on your budget?

 

It is important to determine whether the room is going be elegant and classy or fun and exciting! You do not want to end up with a fun game room with an elegant-style billiard’s lamp. With modern day designers, there is enough variety to suit just about style of décor you choose.

 

It is very important to remember the color scheme throughout the process of choosing a billiard’s lamp. You could mix and match the shades to give color uniformity to the room or just go with one color. You could try looking for a brand new style or something that looks a little more retro, such as a wrought iron billiard’s lamp. This is a great way to add sophistication to a game or recreation room area, which in most homes, it not the epitome of style and class. A wrought iron billiard’s lamp can give that aura without taking away from the overall fun vibe of the room.

 

You should also take the time to look around the room to determine where you are going to place the lamp as well as the billiard’s table it will be hanging over. You also have to decide whether there will be one large lamp or several smaller billiards lamps. If using more than one lamp, try to coordinate lamps so that although they are different, they have a cohesiveness that makes them appear to be the same style. You might also try to find a large lamp that has a complimentary smaller lamp available.

 

Now that you have chosen the lamp you want, it is VERY important that you measure out the size of the lamp in conjunction with the space it will be hung in, to ensure that it will fit where you have envisioned it. Check the specifications carefully, make sure that you have measured everything correctly before you try to hang your lamp! You also have to be realistic about where you place your lamp to ensure that it is not in the way or obscuring an entrance, aisle or any other commonly used areas in the room. Moreover, when you are in the process of hanging, be sure that the lamp is not too close or too far from the table.

 

If you have a budget, keep in mind these lamps can be quite expensive. However, you pay for quality, so keep that in mind before you make the determination to bargain shop. If you do not plan to do it yourself, you should also plan for the expense of having a professional install the lamp.

Billiards, what a wonderful game it is. But billiards is also a very skillful game. It takes practice, the ability to laugh at oneself, and did I say practice? When you decide that you want to learn to play billiards it helps if you know what type of game you want to play. There is 8-ball, 9-ball, Snooker and several more. Several publications can be bought from your favorite store. “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Pool and Billiards”, 2nd Edition by Ewa Mataya Laurance and Thomas C. Shaw, is one such book. Another might be “Byrne’s Complete Book of Pool Shots: 350 Moves Every Player Should Know” by Robert Byrne. There are many available and should be the first place you turn when you have a desire to play billiards well.

The next thing that you will need is a “pool cue” or “billiard stick”. You will want one that is straight, balanced well and is the weight that feels the best for you. Pool Cues come in weights from 14oz – 22oz. You can order pool cues from dealers at the weight you want. Expect to pay any where from $10.00 at your local Wal-Mart to $1,000.00 plus at a reputable dealer who will give you almost any thing you can think of. Color, wrap, farrel and pool cue tips can be custom ordered for a price. Having a decent pool cue can make all the difference in how well you play.

You will also need good pool cue chalk. “Masters” or “Silver Cup” are the only two of the brands of chalk available. These chalks come in boxes of twelve and any hue of color you might like. Chalk is used to put on the tip of your pool cue so when the ball and cue come in contact they don’t slip. While we are talking about chalk you can also get chalk holders that are useful in making your chalk distinguishable from others. These also come in all sorts of fun assortments.

Some players use baby powder on their cue. There is debate about whether your cue likes that powder or not. Many choose to loose the powder and use a glove. The glove helps your hand to slide easily on the cue stick. And since you are not using powder for this, they keep your cue free from sticky build up. Gloves can be worn on the right hand or left and come in many colors. Specialized pool training tools are available such as laser cues, training balls and other electronic training devices. All of these items can be purchase at a billiard store or some of the better sports shops. They come in different varieties and at a cost to fit almost every need.

If you decide to make billiards your game, try out a few of these items. Having these items can help understand the fundamentals to pool a little better. And of course besides owning these helpful billiard supplies, always practice, practice, and did I forget to mention practice?

I am taking a date to a billiard pub for a first date. Does anyone know what I can expect to pay approximately to play pool? It is a small place in CT. I know some places charge per game, some per hour, a ball-park estimate of what I can expect to pay either by the game or by the hour will be really appreciated.
