Texas Bumps™, www.texasbumps.com, is a new, fun and exciting pool game where professionals and amateurs can compete on a fairly even playing field without the use of handicaps. That’s right, the “Average Joe can Beat the Pro™” without using handicaps. It may seem hard to believe, but I have seen Texas Bumps™ in action with my own eyes and actually watched the “Average Joe beat the Pro!” It’s designed for all skill levels - professionals, amateurs and recreational pool players alike. Texas Bumps™ is a game where competitors, friends, families and even enemies, can all come together for an enjoyable day, afternoon or evening of billiards and have fun. The way pool is supposed to be!
