Sorry full album link moved: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rvr2o2fbne2rc73/AADlVKnOz462TUrdEz7ToNLGa?dl=0 Thanks for the compliment- I worked hard on the full room aesthetic and now my time is spent in this room, working on my aesthetic!

Are you playing with 2 1/16" balls? I've played with both, on both and have a 12' table at home with 6811 tournament cloth on it. The balls (2 1/16") definitely throw more than the 2 1/4" balls and the cue ball also moves differently either from the small diameter and resulting lower torque or...

I do understand the various sides of this issue but really, it's up to Ronnie how to play and whether he wants to wait for a larger payday. I think it is great how he offered in the post match interview to hand over his cue, chalk and waistcoat for someone else to have a go...he certainly is...

Too funny, but that's exactly the look I was going for...a club feeling. To confess, the real reason for the mirrors is technique training but it does look awesome too!

Looks great, love the dark wood doors too!

Thanks! It's been great having it and the restoration turned out real nice. It's almost like a dream to have a tournament condition English snooker table in my house!

Hello All, I finally finished the last element remaining in my home room - a wall of mirrors! My original post in this thread can be viewed here for anyone interested in seeing the transformation steps... http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=5159538#post5159538 Have a...

Thanks for the feedback Cameron. I have done the offset drill some with only reds between pink and black, using 8 reds. In numerous attempts I've never got past six reds...it's quite tough at least for me! Playing position on that one ball only is a real test of positional skill. I'm just not...

Hello Fellow snooker players, I have relocated my camera to center of the table which is better...Here are two videos, one from last night, one this AM. One is regular line up and the other a variation I have been trying with offset reds between pink and black. I am finding this section quite...

Hi Miguel, I've signed up, thanks and also want to let you know that I'm getting database errors on your website when I click on players or places to play! Also in places, how would I get my home room/table listed?

Hi Ralph, I used to do the same with 2 1/4" snooker balls on my gold crown before putting in my 12' snooker table. I started with 15 reds and it does become quite congested, especially with full size balls! I did however manage to ALMOST make a maximum break once, choked and missed the brown...

Thanks for the replies! In regards to the table and my room, here's a previous post http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=5159538 As far as the pockets, they are not as tight as a Star tournament table but still within the template I found online from 2005/6 tournaments...measure 3.65...

Hello All, I have been working on various drills at home, one of them being the simple line up. I was wondering if anyone here has a preference when going through the balls. Do you work from black to blue generally in a line or do you try to take balls out in various parts of the line during...

A few things about Dariya's- in the general sense Star Tournament tables are tough but they are still playable with tournament cloth. The tables there have club or other cloth, its directional but played much slower than the 6811 tournament I have at home. Made the small pockets even tougher...

Did this table ever get set up? Looks beautiful! I'm in Chicago today and tomorrow for work, may have some free time tonight (May 3rd) or tomorrow afternoon. I've emailed Aces to see if I can come play...

Thanks for the compliments, I'm really happy with how it is turning out. Once I get the wall mirrored it will look...twice as good?! The iron, yes...That is a Dowsings English billiard table iron, used to lay the directional nap flat after brushing and blocking for a nice and fast playing...

from Pool to Snooker! Hello All, Here are some photos outlining the transformation of my home pool room that was home to a Brunswick 9' Gold Crown III pool table and is now housing a refinished 6' x 12' English Snooker table, manufactured in the early 80's by Riley (Matchroom brand). This has...

Well, it's official - I have a refinished 12' Matchroom table, new rubber and 6811 tournament cloth installed in my basement. Whole photo album is here if anyone cares to see more: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dtvn0p4j7tjlrj8/AACS5d7GhN5DNzAblTfcKAhja?dl=0 Looking forward to many years on...
