I know American snooker was formulated into its own game in the past. I would be curious to play it. 10ft Brunswick tables and numbered balls I think? I remember seeing a post about it before.

I'd love to see more players from different world regions playing actual snooker. Before the WST, when it was a mostly commonwealth affair, my father would always have increased interest in the 'foreign' players. Especially Canadians.

Don't know a thing about American snooker. I was thinking actual 12' snooker with 2.25 balls although might be hilarious if they they played the American game with a mixed set.

Regular Reds
2.25 colors
Either cue ball

Nuther variation would be American pool with British sized balls on super tight 5 and 6 foot tables. lol...

I understood that Steve “lost “ a GB cue to Larry Liscotti in a match and perhaps got it back - not sure which cue.

Yep, it was in Asbury Park. Steve didn't get it back. If you search Lisciotti Balabushka, you'll find it. Somebody was trying to sell it here some time ago, not sure where it is now. Very nice cue.

Edit, here it was. I don't know what became of it.

Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

That's great news!
Mine has been in Louisville Kentucky since the 24th of December.
I get the message from UPS of

"Your package arrived at Import without prior notification. UPS is working to resolve the issue. / Your delivery will be rescheduled."

That message gets resent to me every other day.

I Have tried to let Becue know and so far, no response.
Called UPS and talked to three different agents but had a hard time understanding them as it does not seem that English is their first language.

I will try and contact Becue again tonight and see what they say.

Might be UPS... I just bought (another) Mezz cue out of South Carolina on the 28th of December. From SC to Kentucky to Honolulu it took 2 days. It arrived at the local Honolulu facility on the 30th. It is now the 5th of January and tracking says "Now arrives Thu, Jan 8 2:30pm" a full week after it had arrived in the same city I live in!!!

It may be "Holiday delivery fatigue" but to the locals, that's what we call "Hawaiian Time"!!!

Yikes, that suggests Becue didn't get all the import issues handled in advance - but who knows, and that's just what UPS is saying which isn't always what happens, lol. Hope Becue is responsive.

I wonder if the Puerto Rican guy you played could have been Santos Sambajon?
I know Santos is Pinoy but the size and ability sound similar.
I do have a picture of Georga Boy but I am working off a new PC and have not had an easy time posting pictures like I could with my old unit.

Couldn't have been Santos, since in the early 70's he would've only been a very young teenager (he's 65 now), and at the time this guy was at least in his mid or late 30's.

I'd love to see any pictures of Georgia Boy if you could ever post them here. As you know from your own experience, he was a serious player.
