Hi, I bought a snooker cue from a (very) famous London cue maker about 6 months ago. Since I bought it, the ebony butt has been swelling slightly and the joint has now actually unglued completely! And this is from a cue costing over $500! I live in Brazil (hot, humid) and maybe that explains it...

Hello all, I am currently checking the translation of several snooker documents from English into Portuguese and I am wondering about the exact semantics for the word "baulk" used in the game of snooker. I hope someone can tell me why this particular term is used so that I can find an adequate...

Now, there is something really strange going on. Some say the dark chalk is the old (discontinued) one while others say the light chalk is discontinued. When I phoned fcsnooker in the UK (a highly reputed store(), they told me they only sell the newer, lighter chalk. The mystery deepens ... Can...

Hi, People here in Brazil just love the green Triangle chalk. I recently bought some on behalf of several of my friends and the chalk I received was very light, much lighter than the Triangle chalk normally used here. People hated it. At least on a hard Le Professionel tip, the light chalk...

Bob, The reason I ask about how to generate the table is that I have to adapt it to Brazilian snooker rules ... Thanks. Jacques

Many thanks Bob. Can you provide the full table? Better yet, can you tell me how you arrived at these values? I located the site http://www.sfbilliards.com/misc.htm but havent read the articles yet. Is the info in there somewhere? Cheers! Jacques Sauve
