    Does anyone align their site completely with the stick direction?

    I was watching a video on how to aim with reference to the ghost ball and realized that maybe I'm aiming to the spot opposite the pocket on the object ball and not to the center of the ghost ball. I tried to imagine the ghost ball and where the center of it would be and realized Ive learned to...

    Book or info on old pool and snooker table values

    might depend some upon area, here a snooker table isn't worth much because of the real estate values pushig them out of the city. sure a GC or a real vintage table may have value. It may be different in a lower rent area where pool halls can survive over developer's interests. from what I...

    Etiquette Opinion

    Felt is expensive and some have a bad habit of dropping a ball onto a spot , causing damage over time. Good etiquette to Place the ball beside the spot and roll it in place. it's not my table with the spots, but I did recently stop a new player who was a bit intoxicated and started slamming...

    Etiquette Opinion

    I was watching a guy shoot over a ball last week, the ball moved and two of us saw the fault but the player said it wasn't a fault. At first it didn't appear so, but he was actually correct. We all then realized the table had those stick down spots recently added.. he perhaps disturbed...

    Etiquette Opinion

    in snooker any touch is a 4 point foul, weather the ball moves or not, and it's not your shot anymore. since there is no ref or record of original placement we don't usually try to move it back. in 9 ball I figured it would be a ball in hand if you bumped a ball, and the next players...

    Cuetec Avid: fiberglass still?!

    sometimes in an old building I will put my hand on a handrail where millions of people have passed, It's been finished likely with an oil finish and handled lots, the result is a beautiful finish that's soft to the touch and somehow just feels nice in your hands. in woodworking this is called a...

    Tip Softness/Effect on Draw

    maybe there is a big difference between a draw shot where the object ball is half way across the table and a shot similar to what a carom player might make, where it may be a light tap with backspin and more of a downward angle. would the harder tip be more suitable in the first example...

    What’s the accepted definition of a Sneaky Pete cue?

    I just wanted a $100 cue that was reasonably straight and not embellished, especially with the fake labels or thin veneers. I didn't even think about trying to fool anyone, but it fit the budget and it's fine. I dont think a 400 dollar cue will improve my shot very much. Nothing wrong with a...

    What the best and easy to use Rubber Butt Sleeves??

    I wasn't suggesting to use them for prophylactics ;-) i thought we were talking about something to cover the butt of a pool cue that is removable, so you can access the threads, if you wish to use extensions etc. ;-) thought it wouldn't be hard to punch about a 1/4" hole and then one could...

    Who Is Our Real Opponent?

    I'm not at a high level but I feel that playing almost anyone is practice and enjoyable and practicing alone is very helpful to improve skills but boring . I think it's similar to exercise. Something like weights or a stationary bike.. That would bore me instantly, and I'd just walk away from...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    I don't see any reference to the style of cushions and weather a table has rounded style"snooker" pockets or the more square shaped 8 ball or 9 ball pockets. also no reference to ball size. My antique BBC table has the snooker style pockets ( monarch cushions) and it has snooker cloth and...
