It takes at least 3 years for a snooker player to come across to pool because the games in terms of shot selection, rules and the mentality are completely different, in fact they couldn't get any further apart and you could liken it to a table tennis player coming across to lawn tennis. I know...

The cloths and balls today are completely different to those used in Reardons era. Today the cloths are super fast and the balls are also lighter and have a lot more technology which increases the performance. This subsequently has changed the way the player cue the ball and also has led to...

Alex Higgins in his prime would match it alongside any player today including Ronnie. Likewise Jimmy White who is still doing it. Even players of the class of Joe Davis and Walter Lindrum who had incredible abilities which in Lindrums case have never been equalled.

The former world number five's suspension will end on 12 October, 2024, the date of his 50th birthday. In the meantime, he cannot play in any game sanctioned by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA). On the GB Tour he would most probably be another Peach, Melling ...

Thanks Sean . I will look into NY cheers

9ball is very similar and a few years ago I was in Asia and watching a match on TV of the Asian tour where 2 players were about to play and was told the final score before the start of the match. The person was correct in his prediction and explained that the players where part of a stable of...
