How it all started
After an enjoyable game of 9-ball one fine evening, a group of amateur
pool players observed the scarcity of comprehensive, ranking ‘billiards
& pool resource’ sites available in the internet. A hush-hush,
spontaneous brainstorming session nudged along with a few round of beers
and broken beer bottles resulted in an inspired breakthrough! Like minds
think alike (or so they say) and a decision to launch a dedicated pool
site for love of the billiards game was conceived.
Springing from the
commitment to provide all pool and billiard enthusiasts with relevant
and helpful information from general pocket billiards rules to a selection
of excellent pool table manufacturers to near everything related to the
subject that can be found in one site, PoolSharp.com sprang forth.
Why ‘PoolSharp.com’?
Why not poolshark you ask? Well that’s because we all agree that
a pool shark (which by the way, brings to mind a captive shark swimming
circles in a pool) has no business at a ball billiards and gaming pool
table. A pool sharp on the other hand, (meaning: a rather sharp pool player
with a razor sharp cue stick) makes perfect sense.
So basically, we agreed on a simple combination of the words ‘pool’
+ ‘sharp’, hence the name PoolSharp.com was chosen. A variety
of interpretations about the name have been forwarded, some of which are
conveniently enumerated below:
a. By paying close
attention to the facts and tips on billiards and pool found
within this site, one can (ahem) become a sharp pool
operator. A hefty dose
of hands-on practice is of course, highly recommended.
b. This is a straight to the point site that aims to cut through all
the crappy and
unnecessary information that a billiards enthusiast
can do without.
c. The tons of available information have been whittled down to include
just a
select number of resource sites on billiards equipment and
supplies
that any individual can appreciate.
d. And the space here is for whatever favorable interpretation you might
have
for our site. Thank you.
e. In the unlikely event that there are unfavorable opinions however,
you are
welcome to take it to other ‘more deserving’
sites.
We do hope that this
site will help you rack up the fun in billiards and pool. Enjoy!
