I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a good store in the T.O. area (or Moorpark/Simi/The Valley)? I was hoping to find a place with a fairly large selection (more than Quintessentials).
Thanks!

| I used to go to Billiards and Barstools in Hawthorne/Lawndale area (on Hawthorne Blvd at Manhattan Beach Blvd). The guy that I dealt with has since sold his share of the business to his partner. I still drop by when I have business in the South Bay. They mainly sell McDermott, Pechauer, Cuetec, and a few high end sticks. |

| www.poolanddarts.com* (aka Mueller catalog*, 10% off for APA members), www.ozonebilliards.com, www.pooldawg.com, etc. Online is the only way to go, if you are fairly certain what you are after. You cannot beat the prices. I have ordered numerous sticks for people. Most recently, a McDermott cue,(c265-19* retail 229.00, ordered for 170.00. It is a very nice cue. I say all of this, because we dont have a place near us with a large inventory. You may be looking for something more expensive, and they are there too. You can also take a chance to win one at APA events like the South Coast Championships, by purchasing raffle tickets. Some people get lucky and win one.... |

| Yeah, I was hoping to avoid going to interweb route for supplies. I just moved back here from Minnesota, and aside from the pool halls being MUCH bigger (rents cheaper, so places with sixty or eighty tables are pretty common), I found a supply store I really liked. If it weren't for that, I might have bought a Mcdermott, which I found to be really harsh feeling, instead of my Pechauer, which feels much smoother to me (thats just my personal opinion, not trying to start a debate about what cue is better!). On the internet, I'd have to go with what's prettiest rather than what feels good. Plus, I do like to shop local, when I can. I will check out the Billiards and Barstools place next time Im down that way, though. |
