Also sounds like a place where they should have a shop for cues, chalk and all kinds of merch.... May be inspire the manager to do so!

Sounds like a potential place to host the US nationals, PanAmerican championships and the Q-tour!

Bottom's billiards (the slip) and the "playing fields" both had snooker cues for sale in Richmond. But I think both have closed down. Perhaps try Delta Rocks Billiards on your way to visiting DC.

Depends on where you are located. In Texas is a chain called the billiard factory, they have a small selection of snooker cues with all the cues they sell. That said, my money is on clubs that have snooker tables. They usually also sell cues, plus that means you can play a few shots with them...

Canada has several organizations. At least in the USA there one combined group with the USSA and PABSA. It would be great if all the different Canadian entities could burry the hatchet (swallow pride etc etc) and would fold up into PABSA to combine snooker for the Americas.

Robbo started that. But I'm not sure if that was actually based on data or just a general feeling that it might be slightly easier to pot the ball with the nap on the cushion than against it. I've actually asked a few old pro's when the nap was thicker if they actually took the nap on the...

An oldie but goodie...

Barton snooker and Micheal Holt perhaps. Holty also does coaching over the phone. Set up your phone so he can watch the screen and he'll give you feedback and exercises.

The more forgiving is really arbitrary and time dependent as the official pocket templates change over time. My table was used for the world championships in the 90's so the pockets match the templates at the time, which is more forgiving then the templates in the 2010's. Rumor has it that the...

You might be talking about me, or Mark White.... We're both in the Houston area and have a sweet set up at home. And Bob Jewett is correct, there are also two clubs with at least 4 full size snooker tables in the area as well. I will say that they play a little tighter than typical club tables...

The streams are online if you are willing to sail the high seas....

Doesn't look like it. Perhaps try Chris Alvey in Georgetown, IN. If you feel like driving and playing on his private table. Otherwise look around on www.findsnooker.com. I looked at Indiana and Kentucky. But 12' snooker tables are pretty rare where you are.... You can always get your own!
