You know what would be useful, is a book that accompanies the rule book, that is "Decisions on the Rules of Pool," as they have for golf.

I have come to think of it as break-off meaning the player is breaking one or more reds off the pyramid of reds on the table. You can't really "break" in the pool sense of the word because the pink is in the way, and it would be really bad strategically. I thought break meant both an inning...

I don't have the time or patience for that! I'm going to try a few things. One is automotive wax stripper. I'll let you know what happens.

Wow. Thanks for the detailed and illustrated post! I'm thinking mine are loaded with wax, too. I am not brave enough to put them in the dishwasher. I am still nervous about using ammonia on them, I want to see if I can learn what things may be harmful to phenolic first.

Oh,well! So much for pool in the U.S., I guess.

I don't think the UPA would agree with you! From wikipedia: "The United States Professional Poolplayers Association (UPA) is the governing body for the sport of men's professional pool (pocket billiards) in the United States, as well as the organizer of a major national amateur league, and a...

In my view the only importance of the distinction between professional and amateur players is to establish eligibility for amateur events. Amateur event organizers are appealing to those who do things other than the game at times, and appeal to a broad swath of the population that doesn't make...

Yes! I have a set of Centennials that I was fortunate enough to score on craigslist for $20. They polished up beautifully, but get spots on them with use, which won't come off with rubbing or spit, but come off easily with Aramith cleaner. When I clean them I get slightly orange, yellowish...

I found this app while searching for an Android snooker score keeping app. It's really quite good, and connects to a database, so you can view all kinds of stats about your game, and compare yourself with others worldwide. It's £9.99 per annum for Premium membership, which I did; I think...

Well, I guess nobody cares! :) See my new thread on MySnookerStats.

I know this is an old post, maybe you got your answer already. But I'm curious: I have no idea what units of weight you are using. For example, an American pool ball (or my 2 1/4" snooker balls) weigh 5.8 oz., which is equal to 165 grams. So, what you are looking for, 12.7 what? Cheers, jv

Who knew there was such a thing! Of course, it makes you over cue longer, and inevitably changes the balance/ Concerns about that? It appears that there are still some of these in distribution channels. Pool Dawg and others claim they are in-stock. Good luck!

Here you can see the thermostat (circled) Bob mentioned.

Not what I've found: best I've found so far is $336 for the Centennials, $356 for the Tournaments.

Just a datapoint, my pool cues are 12.5mm, my snooker cue 9.5mm, and it feels "right" to me.

Yes! But the bridges will likely be with the table.

You will likely need a cue extension at some point.

Ah, I see. Thanks. It's not called a pedestal in the GC documentation, it's simple called a "leg assembly" (parts manual) or "legs" (service manual).

That's very helpful, thanks.
