Wow. You're a real prize. Do you offer much else apart from sanctimony, or is that your long suit.:thumbup:

Oh, and 'throwing his whole body into the shot' was how Higgins played so much of the time - it was hardly a mind blowing moment. The Hurricane was literally lifting his head and upper body so much of the time through his playing career it was an incredible feat he could cue so straight, and...

I think any number of breaks Selby has made against Higgins in this years Championship, being down as many frames as he was, needing to grind and grind to get back into the match, have been better breaks. I like history too. I'm 48 and have watched not an insignificant amount of snooker in my...

Sorry, can't agree at all. I played elite youth sports, tennis was my game, and I know something about performing in big matches. This 'bottle' that you speak of is what every sportsman known to man lives to find within themselves. If you aint got none son, then you aren't in the hunt for any...

I realize I don't have long time forum status cred, and will likely get flamed for this...... That's ok. The Higgins break is incredibly overrated. And I LOVE Hurricane! Grew up watching him on Pot Black televised in Australia and fanned my love of the game, and thought he was one of the most...

Thanks for the replies to everyone! Pics you've posted help alot. Even though tourney blue would make sense with the table, it's a little bright for me.....I'm going to take the advice to go a version of green, either standard or blue/green and stay a little old school. In terms of am I a...

Just negotiated to buy a GC1 in a color combo I hadn't planned on.:D I get the chance to choose cloth color and would love to hear opinions. Table has Tangerine apron and ball box, white base. I have been thinking of continuing the eye opening combo by going (Simonis 860) blue/green, subtle-ing...

Hi, I'm planning the purchase of a used table and was hoping the great people on this forum might recommend a moving and set up guy that works the Kansas City area....? Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions.:thumbup:

Ordered the Players HXT59 today from Seyberts, 18oz, custom tapered down the shaft to 12mm and had an Elkmaster tip applied. Pretty sure he'll be over the moon. Thanks to everyone on here for their time and advice. Sorry I didn't take it all.:wink:

Not really. Looking for sexy too. A plain jane above average component cue is way too sensible. Thinking of going the Players route...... HXT59 or HXTE5

Appreciate the follow up.:thumbup2: I have quite a bit of experience with stripes and solids, 8 ball is the most common played table game in Oz......and will definitely set him up with a 12mm tip in all likelihood. Though when I get around to setting a cue up for myself I'll not go higher than...

I'll use your post to reply to the many that followed.;) And so, you get to hear my life story.:thumbup: It comes down to my own history, and a tad of his.... I grew up in Australia, being taken to pool halls and even the odd snack joint that had a coin table sitting lifelessly in its parlor...

Hi. First time poster and won't bore you with my life story unless I become a regular poster.:D I'd like to buy my son a cue for his 13th birthday, he's a convert to the game over the last 6 months and I think he'd love his own stick. Were in KC and largely play bar tables, but I'd like to...
