Pool Bling blings

A famous author once wrote grown-ups love figures'. Well, that's probably true. Grown-ups love figures and the things you buy with those figures. Speaking of which, you have to check out all the cool accessories these figures can buy. If you have a very nice set of billiard equipments, then adding a bit of bling won't hurt. Not compromising the money at hand, that is.



Now with all the different accessory selections, which ones are those that you think you need? Accessorizing the way you play pool is like entering into that popular MTV show called Pimp My Ride. You take your boring, damaged, good-for-nothing car or vehicle to the shop, then they pimp it or in English, they convert your car into something extraordinary which can make you jump for joy, scream you heart out and say "Oh, my God!"



That's right. Putting on some additional accessories can be extraordinary because not everyone can afford it. Especially when they're personalized.



Balls



The conventional billiard ball is just a mixture of all the basic colors. But now, manufacturers have found a new way to add life and fun to every set by adding artistic designs on them. Customizing. Making something out of what people want to see.



Rack



What good would balls be without a rack? That's overrated yet becomes a necessity when you have no idea on how to arrange your billiard balls manually. Shapes come in triangular or diamond made of plastic or metal.



Bridge



You got to have one of these. This makes some of the most impossible shots possible and some of the unreachable shots, well, reachable. This looks like a cue stick but the tip would look different. It has an edge with slots where you can put the tip of your cue to maneuver a hard shot.



Chalk



Not the ones used on blackboards. You don't use that. The composition of a cue chalk is slightly different than that used for writing. This is another necessity in a pool game. The purpose of this is to prevent a hit from slipping or miscuing. This comes in different colors that would go with your felt. Though, chalking over your cloth is not advisable.



Be careful when picking the right kinds of accessories. If you could find something with good quality but yet cheap, go for it. Accessories are only there for steaming up a game and not winning them.
