Billiards Direct

Billiards and Darts Direct is fantastic store with an enormous selection of pool cues, pool tables and darts equipment. I'm not a pool player (yet) so I haven't used their table services, but they also provide pool table assembly, pool table repair and cue tip repair. I went in on a impulse a month ago while I was walking around La Mesa. I'm not a pool player but I found Billiards and Darts Direct to be a superb resource for players and enthusiasts alike. There are lots of full sized tables to check out and there is an entire wall stocked with over a half mile of pool cues. While browsing I met the store's owner, Brandon Gramse. He took some time to explain the game to me and how pool is different from billiards. He also showed me a few trick shots to impress my friends. Brandon is an APA player and told me he opened the store because of his love of the game and he likes to share his billiards wisdom with customers who come in. I left the store on a high note and lately I've been considering adding a pool table to my own place. When I do decide to take the next step, at least now I know where to go to get it. more

Good: I loved the selection available. I was looking for a very specific type of cue for my friend's birthday. Billiards Direct had it AND it was cost less than other places I'd found online. Brandon (the owner) was amazingly helpful and patiently answered all my billiards-newbie-questions.. Bad: The front of the store has parking but it's metered. It was only a quarter, but I just don't really like parking meters.. Improvements: I would love to see a Billiards and Darts Direct website where I could actually order their products online. They presently have a website but you still need to go to the store to actually buy anything. I guess that's fine though because it was a really neat store.. Other: I'm not a billiards player but I just might start learning now that I Billiards and Darts Direct is right in my neighborhood.. more

Needed to look into buying a pool stick for my husband's birthday, but had no idea what I was really looking for. The employees at this store were tremendously helpful, and really went above and beyond, and took the time to help me. I was very surprised. And as for the pool sticks, there were so many to choose from. I know my husband will be thrilled with his gift, but I think he'll be even more thrilled once I give him the gift and can share with him where I got it, so he can go take a peek at this store for himself! I have a feeling we're going to be spending a lot more money at this store! :) A+++++ to the guys at Billiards Direct!! P.S. They also had poker, darts, and other stuff in there too. more
