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.
