We we're visiting some friends in Ottawa and he has an old Trophy snooker cue he was giving me. I said I can't take it on the plane and didn't want the hassle checking it in baggage. When i was going thru the x-ray machine they spotted something in my nether region and had to go thru twice. I...
I was playing in a snooker tournament years ago and was down 2 games in a best of 7 match. The guy was a friend with a good sense of humor and I went to the bathroom.and bought a condom out of the machine. I sruck it on the butt of my cue and he asked what the hell am i doing. I said I'm going...
WTF! I just hit a shot with RH spin and it's reversing( checking) off the 2nd rail. I tried it a few times with another CB and it's going where it normally goes. I figure the spin must be staying on longer
I just siliconed my CB to try something and it exaggerated the spin and travel distance. I hit a small draw shot so I thought and couldn't believe the acceleration as well. I'm considering doing the rest of the balls to emulate the balls at the poolhall.
I had never heard of waxing the ball until the topic came up. The poolhall(s) i go to clean the balls with some product that has to be silicone based. The balls are slippery as hell and the CB slides too much. I sprayed some silicone on a rag and rubbed it on my CB and got the same effect.
The conscious/ subconscious is a powerful tool to have in the bag. Once you know it'll become second nature and nice to be in the zone and have the CB on a string.
This weekend the 1st event open to 96 players(men) and 36 women ( separate tourney) will be held here in the Halifax area. It'll be held at 4 locations and open to the 5 eastern provinces. There's 8,9 and 10 ball being held over the 3 days. It should be a fun event
