at one point I saw 12- 85 with two reds on the table. the game is conceded. 85-12 is 73 points spread , 18 for the two reds, and 27 for the colors is 45 he needed them all plus to gain 28 from hooks.. plus it was the other guys turn so I guess conceding was gentleman like. It didn't seem...

Pool is a game people play if they aren't good enough to play snooker yet ;)

Are you eating peoples cats? ;-)

when I began with Snooker I figured touching a ball with your shirt sleeve , as an example was fussy.. but after playing more no , it makes you more careful and since that is the rule , if you are lucky enough to play a more advanced player you are already playing by the same rules...

i fix all sorts of industrial machines for a living, the Chinese manufacturers keep me busy, so we may be loosing jobs to manufacturing but we have also created a lot of work for guys like me, because its all extremely poorly built.. but try to for example find a decent quality jointer made in...

thanks Dave these videos you make are really great ! some of the differences between push shots and clean shots are very difficult to decide upon and cause a lot of confusion. some have said they can also hear a double hit so hearing it may be part of it. there are differences in the rules...

a lot of confusion starts because there are some different rules for different games.. I just looked at one where he does ( what I would call) a push shot using the cue ball straight at the black ball ( to the side pocket) and the comment is that its a legal shot.. the comment is then...

I noticed these for sale in some old and very fuzzy and hard to read Brunswick balke collender adverising. It seems to be an odd duck and Im not finding a lot of info on it. it had shelves and a wicker bucket. so youd store all your balls on the rack but then you could pull a "trigger" and...

I play snooker and dont see how I can shoot without bending my elbow, usually I'm down not to my chin but lower than in 8 ball, 9 ball etc. i know one guy that will make a few warm up strokes in a sort of pendulum motion before he shoots. its a bit like\how you shake a pencil and make it...

any good videos showing the difference between the different types of strokes you guys describe? what are you personally trying to improve? I'm trying to stop bumping myself at the end of my stroke so I need to improve and stop doing that, , that's an obvious fk up.. every time I feel I've...

i got hold of a set of numbered balls and tried that because they had weird spots on them,, it washed most of the color off , they were junk to begin with so no huge loss I probably did use dishwasher soap.. be careful with that one.

I met a guy that brought one back from the Phillippenes, Married her too .. lucky guy!

I remember people being dressed up in fancy clothes for ballroom dancing or all in white to go lawn bowling. but hose were customs of the last generation, not this one.

sure good points but does anyone really have a perfectly straight stroke? I bet most are making a compensation even though it is important.. and if you play pool in space, hang onto your balls ;-)

That makes sense Bob Here's a similar situation with old clocks. there are two ways of winding them, one is by lifting a weight on a chain. the other is to wind a spring. The clock that is run by a weight runs at a constant and consistent speed. the one wound by a spring runs faster when...
