Corey re-tipped my cue & added some weight to it. Got to shoot some pool while I waited for my cue to be completed. The finished product was perfect. The place is easy to find, the customer service is friendly & as professional as it gets. Most importantly the work will speak for itself. If you need an honest and skilled mechanic for your cue, this is the place to go to. This guy is the Macguyver of Billiards. read more

I feel very lucky to have this shop so close to me. I am a pretty serious player and just moved back to So Cal. I played on 4 different east coast regional tours and am a little picky about who I let work on my cues. I was very happy to find out about Crown City, the owner is a well regarded pro and I had no hesitation handing my cues over to him. His prices are extremely reasonable and his shop is clean,organized and he carries anything a player might need. I have also heard very good things about him as an instructor and taking lessons is a great way to elevate your game. read more

For once a real Billiards Store, with real costumer service, in stock Cue's, I was amazed! I brought my Schon in looking for a new Shaft as my Z2 Predator is a tad stiff, I asked about some various shafts I'd been reading about and out Corey would pop with a nice demo shaft to fit my Schon PLUS I could make use of his excellent Table to actually try the thing out, I tried some awesome Tiger shafts, The 314 Predator, The OB 1 & 2, Muicci's Black dot, he even had a Predator 314 "Fat", After spending much time and picking Corey's very knowledgeable brain. I cam up with an The OB-1 5/16-14 Black Collar with a Silver Ring 30" Shaft plus a sharp looking OB cue model 108 Gray w/white joint collar and a Super Soft Kamui Tip, I love the Cue and the best thing is, is its all interchangeable with my Schon/Predator gear! Corey also got on the tool bench and lathe to make sure the joints fit perfect and the weighting was right and then put a nice waxed burnish to the shafts. all for around $400, I was about to spend almost that on a new Shaft, now I have a great outfit I love! Check it out, And by the way Corey is a great guy I'm hoping to get instruction from him soon, he is down to earth not intimidating or stuck-up in the least! Mike Murphy read more

See all

Get exactly what you need at a great price. Corey Harper is a straight up guy. He doesn't try to up sell or push inferior products. Go to Corey if you want to improve your game or get some new toys. FYI - His prices are the lowest in-store prices in LA, some of the items he carries are lower than internet prices. Awesome!!! read more

I originally visited Corey's shop for a tip replacement and what I got was something much more. From the start it was clear that Corey has a unique approach to the game and an endless knowledge base. There's no question in my mind that it's Corey's absolute love for the game that keeps him going and it shines through in how he handles his business. Over the last year and through his teaching, Corey has helped bring up my game, update my existing equipment and make me a more confident player. I am confident that even if his shop doesn't carry what you are looking for, he'll have the quickest and most convenient route to getting it. read more

Started out with some Chinese red pocket money from my sister for my birthday, I decided to put them in the best use I could think of. Feeling like I have hit a plateau and started to feel frustrated after playing in the LA Pool League for a year or so, I concluded that I need some lessons. After some researching, I gave myself the best birthday gift ever: I used the red pocket money to take some professional pool lessons from Corey Harper of Crown City Billiards. It was just eye-opening. For a timid person like me, this was an unbelievable step. When I walked in this Pro Shop/ Billiard Academy, however, all i got was a super warming and nurturing person with an extensive knowledge base on billiard, both on techniques and esp. the mental game aspect of pocket billiard. I had the best time of my life training with him. Corey was extremely patient with me and pinpointed all of my weaknesses right from the start and provided me solutions very generously. Crown City Billiards is as academic as you can get for leaning professional pool. I've taken one lesson from a pro before, he was extremely good but it was in no way close to how organized, structured, and thorough as Corey's program. My point is that if you want lots of fun and also want to learn from a real pro, Corey Harper would open up the world of billiard for you. Lastly, this pro shop carries a carefully selected collection of some of the best products for billiard, including some rare products you can only find in a Vegas billiard convention. Corey is the best!!! Thank you! read more

Corey is the man! I get my cues tipped over here. They always have a wide selection of cues, cue accessories, tips, etc... Pretty much everything you need. Some instructional videos and while you're waiting for your cue to be retipped he will let you shoot around his tournament size Brunswick pool table, equipped with Simonis cloth. The owner Corey is very knowledgable and always tries to sell you only what you need. Sad to hear that CCB closed down. It will be sorely missed by me. read more

This place is great! Great products and excellent customer service! anything you need is here. He really hooked me up with some really good deals! including my cue. I've had the pleasure of taking some lessons with CC Corey, he's an above and beyond instructor who is really passionate about the game of pool in every way. He is an instructor that motivates & empowers your mental game, pin points the weaker areas of your game to improve it & excels your game in the correct way with making sure that your fundamentals are in tune. I really recommend Corey for all of your billiards needs. Plus he's a really cool guy who is very knowledgeable about pool and its products. If your seeking advice on what to buy he will certainly benefit you. He will let you shoot around with any cue in the shop to help you decide whats best for you! I look forward to more lessons. Hopefully I will get good enough to kick Corey's ass. haha thanks a whole bunch Corey i really appreciate your help!!! read more

I met Corey Harper and bought a 5280 cue from him. The cue feels comfortable and makes playing pool more enjoyable. A selection of cues is available at Crown City so you can try them out before you buy. Very low key place, no hard sell. read more

Very easy to deal with, extremely knowledgable and a great player on top of it, his website is simple but effective.

Best place to get your cue fixed esspecially when we're talking about Crown City Corey!

A couple years ago I was searching for a good place to take my pool cue and get re-tipped, and came across Crown City Billiards. 2 years later I'm still a regular customer - getting cue maintenance when needed, lessons from the owner Corey Harper, and sometimes just getting advice on equipment. He has a lot of connections in Southern California and is a strong player so he's a good person to talk to about upcoming tournaments and places to play. Most recently he hosted a clinic with touring champion Thorsten Hohmann. If you do drop by, be sure to give him your email so you are notified about upcoming events. read more

Came in today to have my new to me used cue cleaned and pressed. Crown City Corey is the man when it comes to all things billiards. I'm very happy to have found this place. I would have been playing more pool sooner had I found this place earlier in my life. The store is very nice, super easy to find, and has more than you can ask for. Corey is extremely friendly, and very knowledgeable about billiards, players, leagues, places to play, products, you name it, he's got information on it. Now I can tell you about the service he provided. My used cue has some dents and dings, no big deal. Having my wrap cleaned and pressed, and having my shaft worked on changed all that. This thing looks and feels better than new. All thanks to Corey my wrap feels, looks, and smells like new. I can't thank him enough. I'm glad to have made a new friend who Is such a genuinely nice person. Go give him a call and a visit. I will be giving Corey all my billiards business from now on. read more
