Your butler was english. Shouldnt you play snooker ?

Interesting. We have had to tell hunters/poachers to leave when trespassing on the farm but never had any trouble than a raised voice. Our north can be rougher, but rare chance of a shooting in my experience. It shouldn't surprise me anymore how different the concerns are between us and...

So do those guys trespass to film these ? I am not sure what the context is or if they are trying to promote the locations.

Cash is better for sure. As to bad service, i was saying i still tip until it happens multiple times. Anyone can have a bad day. I have had bad days and i wouldn't want people to judge my 25 year career based on one of them, so i try not to judge theirs either.

The service staff make less because it takes tips into account. So i always tip. Even bad service i give them the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has a bad day. Now if it is the same issue every time i go in, i stop giving them business. At my regular hall i always tip, but because i am...

I think the advantage is that a separate jump cue will usually preform better and be easier to use than a jump/break cue jumper. As a breaker i have not seen a difference between dedicated break cue vs break/jump. I am in the "buckshotshoey" category of not good enough to tell the...

White diamond fan here as well. Hard, but with grip on the cue ball.

I work in IT procurement for hospitals. I can vouch first hand on supply chain issues. China is having a delta virus outbreak which will impact supply greatly again. Already 3x the wait for electronics, this will just make it longer. The best example i have on severe increase is latex...

While it may not be required, calling fouls yourself gives a better reputation. A pro relies on reputation and popularity for sponsorship. A bad rep could cost you a sponsorship which is worth more than a game or two. I once fouled and didn't know in a tournament. A bystander who i trust...

Spot on billiards is my go to. Justin is great guy and honest. He does all my cue work and i was talking to him about table installs on the weekend. He and Cedric are out of Oakville. Www.spotonbilliards.com My second choice would be Heath Manning only because he is further away. Also...

Cues are easier to sell if the tips are 13-13.5 for the reason of someone turning them down if they like smaller. As noted by pw72. When i order a custom i will get one what i play with 12.5, and one 13+. Then i put the 13+ away and play with the 12.5. if i ever do sell there is a unplayed...

I was curious what would show up in this thread. I knew the obvious tongue in cheek would happen, but i didn't expect this. Thats pretty cool looking.

Yup. I can usually move between cues fairly easily but every once in a while a different one throws me off. This cue hits firm, with medium squirt. Similar to what i am use to. The difference is the cue has a different, yet great harmonic to it. Feed back is smooth like a tuning fork...

So lock down finally cleared this friday in my area. Have not hit a ball in months. I picked up a new tasc during covid and took it out for a spin this weekend. Played about 15-20h. Thursday through sunday. I love the new cue, and i got weight and speed down, but the rattles were non stop...

Heard good things about the omen jump/breaks. Been tempted to pick one up. Superior cues just got a 5 or 6 in i saw in the for sale. The poison jump/ break surprised me. It felt and broke great.

It also depends on season. Summer our hall might even close early, whereas winter they will go to closing. Rarely to tables fill in the summer at any time of day.

I will check it out. My old league team name from a few years back had a similar name, only as a play on words. "Queue Up". Kids kept telling me i spelt it wrong. Stupid kids.

I didn't catch that. Shows how much i was paying attention.

Hey fella's I have an opportunity to get a vitalite set of snooker balls for under 100. They appear to be in good shape, with the box. I know nothing about ball collecting, is this set worth picking up ?

I agree, with those saying heat exhaustion. I get sluggish and slow when i overheat. Basically the same as playing when sick. Affects some of more than others. Drink water, stay cool, rest and then get back to it. The only i way i can fight it off is drinking mass amounts of water when...
