August 2009
Hi Folks,
Barry and I have recently returned from the Billiard buying and information convention in Las Vegas and
we are excited!! There were fewer exhibitors compared to conventions of the past, but this only helped to
reinforce who the real "players" are in the billiard industry.
Our beloved Olhausen (the best in billiards!!) has joined forces with
Performance Games
(the official game tables of the 2008 Olympics). This means we will now be able to offer you quality, yet
affordable games tables including foosball, air hockey, dome hockey, and shuffleboard, all with the
Olhausen quality stamp of approval. Watch for these to arrive in our store this fall.
The best display at the show was by far Legacy Billiards of whom we are also proud dealers. They unveiled
their exciting new “RENEGADE” line of tables and furniture. Let me tell you, this stuff is
BAD... in a good sort of way. The definition of a Renegade? “An individual who rejects lawful or
conventional behavior”. We are talking black, hand-set metal studding, laser etched logos, metal
banding, chain pockets. Definitely biker inspired tables and furniture. Don't worry, we'll be
displaying one early this fall so you can see in person!
Barry and I are excited to announce we are also now the exclusive dealers of Predator Cues. Over 50% of
the worlds top-ranked pros play with Predator. It is the brand of choice for serious players at every level
of the game. We welcome you to come in and try out our demo cues and see our stock.
Not to be outdone, McDermott Cues, which we also deal exclusively, has made some amazing and innovative
changes to their line up. We currently have in stock entry level 2 piece McDermott cues at $69.00
(yes that's right, only $69!) new McDermott graphite, a new collection of their Star cues, and many
more high end gorgeous McDermott cues. Another new product line for us is the innovative Stealth cue. These
extremely unique cues are very popular in the U.S.. They were being grabbed up quickly at the Vegas show
and we were lucky enough to have picked some up.
At last count our store had over 200 cues in stock ranging from entry level to extremely high end from all
the big names in the cue business. We have something for everyone! With a table in our store set up to
play on, we encourage you to try our cues before you make the commitment.
Due to popular demand we will now stock DARTS and dart paraphernalia. What will separate us from the rest
(and always has!!) is the quality. Look for BRITISH Datadart and Bottelsen Hammerhead Darts to be coming
to our store this fall as well.
WALL ART folks! We have it, and lots of new pieces. Really cool, authentic, custom made entertainment
memorabilia. Many one-of-a-kinds, lots of choices.
There's so much more. I could go on and on, but best to stop by the store and check it out for yourself.
This is a fun business to be in, and more so when you have a nice array of quality products that you know
your customers will enjoy for years to come. We look forward to seeing you!
Regards,
Leslie Smith
