K-O BILLIARDS
and
K-O CUES & REPAIRS

HELLO VISITOR! WELCOME TO K-O's HOME ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB!


K-O was founded in July of 1989 with the humble beginnings of doing exhibitions in area game rooms throughout the southeast. Pool cues (main line Meucci), cases, hand chalk, tip chalk, books, videos, magazines, tip tappers, and other supplies were offered at the shows. K-O serviced businesses such as Super Sports Arcade in Evergreen, Andalusia, Opp and Luverne, Alabama, Samson Gameroom in Samson, and River City Arcade in Geneva.

K-O bought out the Samson Gameroom from David Johnson and J.B. Slay in 1991. Housed in the combined old drugstore and barber shop, K-O moved to the now Samson Police Department building in 1993 with thanks to Mr. Waylon Ward for purchasing the building for the home of K-O.

In 1994, K-O opened a second facility in Enterprise, Alabama on College Street where the ice cream shop now exists near the courthouse. After the ceiling fell in onto the cues and supplies in the Samson K-O, it was closed. So K-O was back to one facility again.

In early 1996, K-O moved out to Park Avenue where Royal Palm is now. Since there was a bandstand there, K-O hosted many concert, dance, and karaoke events. The place was hopping!

In April 2001 K-O relocated from the 8000 square foot building at 1931 East Park Avenue to the 5000 square foot building (old AT & T, Rent-a-Center, Pollaris building) at 924 Rucker Boulevard. Come visit our new building!

K-O Billiards Club is a friendly spot to play pool and games, socialize, relax, have fun, take a break and learn about pool.

K-O Cues and Repairs is our pro shop which is located within K-O Billiards' building.

The building is a large 5000 square foot facility. It is located approximately 100 feet off of the main highway leading to and from Fort Rucker on the corner of Rucker Boulevard and Springdale Drive near Wendy's hamburgers and Morgan Square Mall.

UPDATE 08/30/2011: After 22 years in business without offering alcohol products, the economy is taking its toll on K-O's future. The process has begun to secure a license in order that K-O can offer beer to our customers over 21. Hopes are that this process is complete by October 1, 2011.

Three tables were added in 2004. All pool tables are covered in Granito 2000 felt (taut with very fast roll), except for front table 1 (Simonis), front tables 2 & 3(Championship World Tour Edition), and front table number 7 (Valley Invitational with Scotchguard). We sold two of the tables and are back down to 12 tables again.:

• 4- Gandy Big G 4 1/2' x 9' Drop Pocket Tables
• 6- Valley 1970s 3 1/2' x 7' Coin-Op Tables
• 2- Brunswick Sportsking 1950s 4 1/2' x 9' Drop Pocket Tables
  • Tables for sale
  • 1- 1898 Balke Brunswick Colender 5' x 10' Snooker Drop Pocket Table (for sale---$15k)
  • 1- 2000s Brunswick 5' x 10' Snooker Drop Pocket Table with Regulation Cushions (includes snooker cushions unattached) (for sale---$2k)

The coin-op tables in back are seventy-five cents per game. The front coin-op table is $1.00 per game (or we will open for you at hourly rate per person). The hourly rated tables are $3.00 per hour per person on all tables.


Penalties: BOT (Ball Off Table) penalty is $1.00 penalty to be paid into Rockola juke box for each ball knocked off of the table. This is to train shooters to keep ball on table to avoid hitting someone or maybe knocking out someone's teeth.


There is a $1.00 entry fee per person per entry. One hour minimum on all drop pocket tables. After first hour the time is broken down into five minute increments at the rate of $3.00 per hour per person.


All types of pool cue repairs are performed in-house by Phyllis ~ preferably on Thursday night, but she will help you any time, if time and crowd allows at that moment. K-O offers table repairs at your table site (extra charge for travel, if out of town).

UPDATE: Larry passed away on November 28, 2006. The only in-house repairs offered now are tips and ferrules.

Main line of professional custom cue offered for sale is none other than
The Standard of the Industry-MEUCCI.
K-O thanks Mr. Bob Meucci for manufacturing such a great playing custom cue!

Phyllis is Meucci certified factory direct dealer

and has been since 1989.

K-O offers an in-house warranty for repair against any manufacturer's defect on any new Meucci cue for one year after purchase from K-O. If your purchase is from K-O and you would like tip freshened while at K-O, there will be no charge. This costs others $2.00.

It should not have to be said, but here goes: NO alcohol, drugs, weapons, violence or any type of altercation should be brought onto this property. It is not permitted, allowed, condoned, tolerated or welcomed on these premises. What you do before you come to K-O or after you leave is none of my business, but what you do on these premises IS my business. I make it my business.

You will love her, but be watchful of Mama Bear (Phyllis)! As the name implies, she listens to your problems with genuine concern and offers her shoulder and an ear, but when you crap in HER den she will DEFINITELY snarl, growl and bite! If you crap in her den, she will take shovel it back at you! Otherwise, she will bend over backwards to make you feel at home and to help you.

Larry was our in-house walking-billiards-encyclopedia. If you did not truly want to know something pertaining to billiards, you should not have asked! He was very knowledgeable on this subject. Should he not know an answer (which I doubt), you could give him a bit of time and he would find your answer. But we no longer have Larry with us. Larry kept his appointment with God on November 28, 2006. We miss him so very much. Rest in Heavenly Peace, darlin'.....



Phyllis, J.R. Goff (living legend and our hero) and Larry
