The world pool league was there for many years 98 to 2003 i believe. That must have had an impact on the games popularity, there in the early years.

Your right its normally 15 minute break in snooker if your tip comes off. Sometimes if its been more than a couple frames, they will take the interval early.

That is just insane for a break cue. But I'm sure there will guys out there who insist its the worth the cash.

He some time posts on here too.

I managed to get hold of him through ebay about 3 years ago. For another shaft. He said he was retiring. And selling off his remaining cues. And that was it. I think he said, he was 80 at the time.

the andy not as fast in my opinion, it does feel different, The 760 is the fastest I've played on. Especially once its worn in a bit.

Lots of scam stories, been posted lately be careful. I would find one his threads. Send him a direct message. He is a frequent poster.

Hay man, the guys on here have been more than accommodating, with your problem. All your threads are pretty much about the same thing! You just got a new table, forget about running racks. And just focus on breaking, i remember SVB saying at an event, he would spend hours just breaking. As i...

Tips, take your pick, the market is flooded with them everyone will have a favourite.

For me in pool, got to be efren in 99 running 9 racks in the semis against bustamante, seeing that at the time was just incredible. In snooker over the years, ronnie has so many moments but like double-dave said, taking a year off and winning it again, was amazing. His 147 is also up there.

And btw, to the topic of the thread, all the cues I've had built, none have inlays, (unless in the rings) im all about points and rings. With nice wood, is enough for me. Look at the modern trend, guys are just as happy with decals and painted butts, that look like exotic wood, or a very thin...

I remember this bill schick from a long time ago, the fact this was done by hand, i thought was amazing. The photography was so good, stuff you would not of seen unless you can zoom in. Anyway amazing cue. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/slate-cracking-brand-new-bill-schick.249857/

if i was looking for other options, andy cloth is a really good choice, very hard wearing, but feels completely different, And then there is Z9 from Germany. The closest there is to Simonis, and really fast! I have also played on Brunswick cloth, which i didn't really like. (Didn't like the feel...

Could you not just use a couple pieces of cheap chalk, or even 4 pieces? two ether side with what ever gap you want to create, shoot the CB through.
