    New players?

    hi the pool scene here is very bad, in my hometown in particular. Here 99% of people are bangers. In Rome there is Fabio Petroni's room where you can play seriously and there are weekly tournaments. I paste here what I wrote to an user who was asking about pool in my hometown: There is a big...

    New players?

    I'm in a very similar situation except I'm only 22. I don't have any friends that plays pool regularly and I go alone to the pool hall. The first times was a little hard ( also because I'm a shy person) but after sometime you get used to it. Also if you are a good player it helps because you...

    not a complete video at all, but it shows the basic of a snooker stance. in a snooker stance you have 4 contact point: the bridge hand, your chin, your chest and your grip hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X08w5E5RbJY don't believe who says a snooker stance is hard to use in pool or is not...

    Elbow thoughts

    many have the elbow more towards the back because they started to play at a very young age and they couldn't reach the table very well with a perpendicular arm.

    Power snooker

    I could be wrong but I think also the table has no directional cloth ( just like pool)... many players struggled with cueball controll because of the different reactions of the cloth.

    It's The CB

    if you are a bad shotmaker you probably lack confidence on every shot. I know I'm a pretty bad shotmaker and I cinch more shot than I should... I think before thinking about perfect position you should reach a pretty decent level of shotmaking.

    The Masters 2012 !

    I don't think Alex could enter the snooker top50 now. Maybe if he started snooker and practiced it since he was a child ( and without take up pool, only snooker) he could be a snooker great, because he has huge talent. But thinking he could be a problem against a high level pro ( not an elite...

    how often do you give unwanted english?

    I started playing with a pool stance, then I switched to a snooker stance and now I'm much more confident on the delivery of the cue. But sometime as I said it has some disadvantage.

    Eyesight issue. Anyone else ?

    I had eye surgery a month ago and since then I'm playing much better, especially on long shots. I was not saying you are hitting off-center because bad eyesight, but because bad eye alignment.

    how often do you give unwanted english?

    Thanks for all the advice. I'm not sure if the problem is in my grip hand, or in my aiming or both. I remember you are from England... do you use a snooker stance when you play pool? I do and sometime when I'm lazy i don't walk into the shot frontally ( more sideways) and this is the reason...
