I guess most places I play use American Snooker rules for the most part. I like playing on 10 foot snooker tables and I have one at home. We also play a lot on 9 foot tables. Not many 12 foot tables in Alabama! But, I want one! Saving up for a boat at the moment. 😂

You would have loved the snooker rules in one of our local pool rooms. Pink was racked at apex of the triangle. Red was in front of the pink. No soft breaks allowed. Call all shots and kicks and banks. No combination shots and ball must be pocketed clean. Must hit a rail after contact with...

I think you have it backwards but it is about 2 inch difference.

On the only 12 foot snooker table I ever play on, which isn’t napped cloth, I’ve found the “ spot on the wall” system to work great for two and three rail kicks. It takes a little more work to find all the spots since there aren’t any diamond’s except the baulk line marks but it seems to work...

Dr. Dave has a page dedicated to the spot on the wall system as well as some videos. I use it all the time for 3 and 2 rail kicks and long 1 rail kicks into the corner pockets and I figured out my own 2 rail kick for the side pockets. I always try to find my reference points while I’m practicing...

Yes. These are American snooker balls. I’ve never seen any 2 1/16 snooker balls, even on the 12 foot table I’ve played on.

Well, I just realized the snooker table we usually play on has an orange six and the other two tables have pink sixes. Arimith snooker balls.

I’m just being curious. Is the game of snooker popular enough in Australia for there to be decent access to good official size tables? I’m assuming it is. You’ve been in the states so you know in most areas they are hard to find and if you do find a 12 footer all most folks want to play is golf...

My guess is for more surface area to contact the cue ball plus the added mass.

Northwest Alabama. Two of my pool halls shut down recently due to owners death and other had health issues. That takes away 3 ten foot snooker tables. There are three nine footers I play on most of the time nearby. There is a 10 footer and 24 diamond tables at Six Pockets in Decatur. There are...

Luckily, we have plenty of people who love snooker in my area. Of course, it’s the American snooker variety, which is fine with me. My 23 yr old son would rather play snooker than anything, and he is one of the best in our area.

I’ve got just enough room for a 12 foot table in my basement if I get rid of my 10 footer. That’s my goal to have a regulation professional snooker table. I’ve got to start saving up for it though!

My usual place to play has 3 nine ft snooker tables. We play with 14 reds. The pink(or orange) is in the middle of the rack. Open break only. Must call all shots after break. No combo shots. All rails and kicks must be called. Fouls result in losing all points on that run, as well as losing 4...

I don’t know. I’m so used to both colors I couldn’t even tell you which pool halls I play at have either color. I can’t even tell you what color my 6 is at my house!
