Longer cue for big tables?

You do not need a longer cue to play on a 9’ table. The question is somewhat arcane.
Obviously, that’s why pool bridges were created. But the reverse is more appropriate.

The question might be since a 58” cue is more than suitable for play on a 9’ pool table,
how much shorter should a cue be for a smaller 7’ table? How about a shorter bridge?

Just pay more attention to getting better position on any size table and the length of your
cue doesn’t matter. Your other options are learn to shoot opposite hand & a cue extension.

well maybe your friend is just a naturally better player. A guy in our apa league who’s fairly new to playing was using a temu cue until I pointed out it had a snooker shaft. The tip was tiny as hell lol I explained how much harder he was making the game and lo and behold when he changed to a normal playing cue it was better.
Btw don’t compare what you use to efren lol he’s got a natural ability you’ll never have . as I’ve said before pro golfers don’t use cavity back clubs but if the average golfer used forged irons like they did they wouldn’t be able to hit the ball 😂 comparing yourself to a god tier player is going to set you up for a lot of disappointment 😂
There’s nothing natural about playing multiple different billiards games in rough conditions from a ping she. Natural feel = Practice X Time. This “natural” thing is a way to shift burden of responsibility away from ourselves for not putting in the same effort.

Is Anyone Else Frustrated by the Lack of Live Scores & Updates in Cuesports?

I'm in the US but snooker is my favorite, I have purchased dazn and watched most of the World Championship but that's just way too time consuming. I really enjoy how Matchroom does the snooker updates on their youtube it's basically like Cliff's Notes and I've never purchased the Mosconi ppv but I like to watch the highlights which tend to be updated within hours and has 3/4 of the good stuff and I don't have to watch all DAY!!! You just have to stay off the Mosconi thread on here or fb to avoid updates that'll spoil you rewatching!!

I like heyball but the names of the tourneys make it IMPOSSIBLE to know which round is which if EVERY stream is titled "Grand Finals"!! Only the finals of ANY event in ANY sport should ever be titled "finals" otherwise it's REDUNDANTLY CONFUSING!! I really enjoy all the Ultimate Pool USA events because they will all be live and it'll take up fri/sat/sun but I can just watch the current 4 - 6 hour live stream and pause it when I need to or fast forward through commercials/racking/interviews so it's actually faster that way! Alex P tends to focus on snooker/heyball and has a lot of live streams: https://www.youtube.com/@alexpagulayanpro/streams

The Derby will be starting in 5 weeks or so and it's a true marathon event similar to the snooker championships and they have multiple streamers streaming DOZENS of tables for free but I always like to buy the ppv's for the 1P and banks semis/finals but sometimes the scheduling for those can be lagged by a day. Fedor and Mickey Krause stream most of their matches live: https://www.youtube.com/@FedorGorstPro

In the US there's also other pro part time streamers that cover Derby billiardnet, post up, etc.. And there are state/regional streamers that will sneak in lower level pros in Fargo split bracket tourneys which are whacky w 3 hour calcuttas lol. Post up covers a lot of the West coast pro stuff which isn't much US Open 10b banks 1p and any of Oscar's events, typically some streams going on here most weeks mon - thur w gambling match ups or weekend tourneys pro or split brackets.

If I'm not watching an event "live" and streaming at my own pace there's really no need for "live" results. If I need them I can come on here and there's always gonna be an open topic about the bigger events. If you want to know about any US streams you can check the live stream forum or ask in the main section for a specific event. Most of the main tours aren't keeping an updated schedule so you never really know!
