Yes Patrick you're quite right and that's very common in uk too and is mostly what I was trying, admittedly very badly, to express....I didn't describe it very well or very fully at all. I meant the action you want to achieve on the cue ball after hitting a rail but thought that was too obvious...

Have a look at the main website for american pool in uk ...... http://www.pro9.co.uk .......or the main website for uk style 8 ball pool (ie on the smaller tables with red and yellow balls)... http://www.uk8ball.com Plenty american pool halls and competitions. Virtually all pool 'clubs' are...

No Joey 'check' and 'running' side don't define left and right side. In Uk terminology check side is simply the type of cue ball action achieved by hitting the cue ball with the tip below the equator on either side of the vertical centre line. Running side is simply the type of cue ball action...

{QUOTE]Instinct correct JAM, Imran is not in Qatar. INA stands for Indonesia if you were wondering:) Actually JAM when I posted the above I hadn't even considered the content of your other earlier post about Ashok Kumar, in fact I hadn't even noticed your minor and unimportant faux pas about...

Don't think there are any live broadcasts planned but understand that one of Al Jazeera Sports three channels may broadcast recorded packages on so far unspecified future dates.

Had the misfortune of seeing Baron and The Kid again two days ago on a stale movie channel. Had forgotten just how absolutely appalling it was. It made the cringe-inducing COM look like an epic movie and that's not easy:smile:

I'm definitely not going to this event Joey but I was there for work related reasons about 4 weeks ago and will be there again in another few weeks for the same thing. Except for the rugby club, basically all the bars in Doha are situated in hotels. The price of a pint of let's say a fairly...

Have never heard any pool player or commentator anywhere in the world who is completely fluent in English (the language) ever use the term "side english" though have heard it used by an Indian who was far from fluent. Wouldn't be surprised if you might have heard it occasionally in China while...

Anybody who wants to be able to afford a couple of beers in the (to be honest) pretty soulless bars in Doha will need to get at least second place prize money:smile: Great attitude to sport in general in Qatar though, including pool, but their current enthusiasm for sponsoring and hosting pool...

The Million Dollar event clashes with the European Championships in August and that in itself might adversely affect some potential entries from there, irrespective of whether or not there will be any dissuasion practices followed by the EPBF. The EPBF have been a little uncooperative with...

This cannot be the happiest of times for anyone to be visiting or residing in The Phillipines and sincere condolences go out to any site members who have lost relatives or friends.

Not sure if we'll ever have a definitive unchallengeable answer as to exactly who invented it........but whoever it was I personally wish that they hadn't and that jump shots will some day be deemed illegal, the sooner the better. To head off one anticipated thrust of reply ....yes I can play...

In one of the most popular forms of uk style 8 ball i.e that known as "World Rules" (the format from which the likes of Darren Appleton, Karl Boyes and others have migrated to American Pool) the rules incorporate a 60 second limit for each shot. Bearing in mind that they are playing on a...

In that case.....as the Irish might say.........."may he be knocking at the doors of heaven before the devil knows he's dead". Roll on the next 10k JAM!

Well......they say that when your palm itches you are coming into some money but it's anybody's guess what's approaching you from behind:)

That's clear Joey, thanks for the info. Will certainly bear it in mind if I ever make it there myself:)

Maybe you've got a wierd girl stalking you....a bit like those 40+ phone calls a night Princess Diana used to make to the home of a married guy she had a fling with, only to hang up every time immediately anyone answered:p

Rob has been known to be a bit abrasive on occasions (which of us haven't?:)) but is generally considered a very sound bloke around the Uk pool circuits as well. Going by what his former frequency of playing pool was it is fair to say that he came out of what would have been for him almost pool...

I have no idea if Brian Saleh is or isn't who you are thinking of re the AZB Room but you can find his picture here and maybe that will help..... http://www:internationalpooltour.com/Players/Bio_Saleh_Brian.aspx He played on the IPT after a spell of coaching/preparation under Freddy The Beard...

MBTaylor.....How do you expect anyone to give you information on what their accomplishments are if they don't know whether you think they are members of the group of posters to which you are referring? Give a few names of posters you had in mind and perhaps they or someone who knows them will...
