It's better than having the cloth not attached to the table. I remember going to a pool hall and the cloth was completely torn from the table. It was just draping over the slate. I never went back to that pool hall. :rolleyes:

You'd be surprised what thieves will sell. If he's not selling it to a friend, he's probably going to be in that pool hall again trying to move it or sell it on craigslist/ebay/a local pawn shop.

Nice~ That settles one dispute. :D What if you hit your set of balls and but only pocket your opponent's balls? Is it a ball-in-hand for the opponent or does he play the cueball where it is?

Say my opponent has one of his balls hanging near the pocket (let's make him solids), would I get to shoot again if I shoot the stripe into the hanger and make both my stripe and the hanging solid? Or is the rule that I have to make my stripe first for it to be a good shot? ...I hate "street...

I've been looking into places where I may try some snooker during President's Week in NYC with my pool buddies. I was wondering if you guys have any experience with snooker clubs in the area and could point me in the right direction. What are average rates for a game of snooker per hour (per...

I sent you a PM even though you had some trouble putting up the pictures :p

Is a stun shot a kill shot? :confused: I thought the drag shot was the kill shot and the outcome after object ball contact is different. A stun shot is shot cued like a stop shot and after contact there's a 90 degree tangent if there's an angle. A kill/drag shot is cued with low english but...

Do ya'll know the broadcast times in EST? I'd like to find a live stream for the matches.

Besides sitting down and resting a bit, how do you guys typically avoid pain/soreness in the feet and legs from standing for long periods of time? What kind of shoes do you guys wear or what products do you use?

Ahh, the kill shot, also known as the drag shot in snooker. They use this to make long red pots and come rail for the black.

My mistake I thought it was like pool rules where it's after contact. What do I know? :rolleyes:

No not the finals. I think it was against Campell where he was snookered by the reds and he played a kick to the yellow. It hit the baulk cushion and then nudged the yellow. The cueball or the yellow was supposed to hit the yellow after contact.

A missed foul!!!!11 Bond just played an illegal safety with the yellow according to Shoot Out rules. The referees need to remember that the cue ball/object ball needs to hit a rail and not just touch. I saw at least 2 occassions where players could've caught up with ball in hand.

:grin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AA_uQMe6wo#t=8m49s 36+ points under two minutes! Edit: Also, what was the problem that happened in the end of the Steve Davis match with Mark King? I didn't know if he was joking or not.

Thanks. It just ended and now they're showing highlights. The last black by Rory McLeod was nuts!!!! Edit: They have a video up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_zHGu0iBTE#t=11m06s

Do you have the brackets for this? I missed the afternoon program because it comes on very early on the east coast.

Some of the best shots I've seen were shot by Chao Fong Pang against Bustamante in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcv9KZVo40o He successfully escapes from a safety by kicking at the 1 ball with a decent amount of check side around 1:30. He also makes an almost full table jump and a...

When someone says "You got this" or "Good luck" to me, it just makes me more conscious and overthink things, then I'm more prone to mess up. Like in that video with Earl in it where the crowd cheers him on and he tells them "Shut up, I don't need your encouragement!" I give them a simple nod...

I'd ask them if I could have some money. :rolleyes:

8-Ball This goes back to keeping quiet while your opponent is shooting but in 8-ball, I absolutely hate it when someone asks me, "WHICH POCKET?!" while I'm stroking. It's hanging the corner pocket, so I don't see why I'm going to call one of the other 5 pockets! I'll admit, sometimes when I'm...
