At first I thought that’s what they were but then ‘no way’. I recognize the leg shape but just assumed it was a Chinese maker using the style. Those tables must be a big investment.

Mark Williams, former World Snooker champion, will sometimes close his eyes when hitting a ball during an actual game. Players joke about it because he’s now one of the more senior players in the top rankings and claim Mark is just having a mini nap.

In Montreal we called a bridge ‘saute-mouton’ . This translates to English into what kids call leap frog’. We would play a game on the snooker table. Place the cueball mid table halfway between end and centre table. No object ball to hit. Your opponent places a ball anywhere on the table and...

Potts is Mark Selby’s brother in law. Mark is 3 time world Shooker champion and a big sports star in China. Potts was trained as Snooker player and likely would have cracked the top 50 in rankings if he kept at it. Potts went to China and hooked up with Joy billiards tables...they own 1300...

‘If Adams sinks this, John Hackock will sign the Declaration’.

Many good Snooker players ‘can’ often run a ball down a rail and pot it. The issue is at what risk. If that skilled, then likey there is a better choice of safety shot on the table. Today O'Sullivan and Higgins are playing in a 19 frame match. Two of the best to ever pick up a billiards cue...

I’m glad you had a positive experience on a Snooker table. As I mentioned before, many American pool players feel discouraged on a Snooker table but actually do fine once they reboot their mind set and approach the game differently. A winning strategy is about cueball position and not trying...

I have a Barracuda Snooker ash cue with an all wood joint. Plays smooth like butter. It’s as good as new after a few decades. Even use it to break In American Pool. Im not a fine woodworker but likely easier to insert metal joints.

I just use my regular cue. Never had an issue in 50 years damaging a cue. I’ve always got just as good results with about 75% power. Usualky about 1 in 4 will have a break cue but I find after time that most leave it in their case.

Ronnie sights like a leftie. ‘Whatever’ brain side likely has something to do with cueing ability or strategy. I have no idea what. There is a way over representation of lefties at the top ranks of snooker. At one time last year all four players in the semi finals were lefties. The odds of...

I shoot both left and right and never think about dominant eye. The best player to have ever picked up a cue, Ronnin OSullivan is the same...as is the best ever female player , Reanne Evans. In an interview neither claim any adjustments. They both shot both ways from an early age. Reanne says...

Cazoo is a network in the auto industry similar to Amazon. It’s a big sponsor in the world’s most watched league...English Premier. Snooker is fortunate to land them as a sponsor.

I’ve been in the sciences for decades. Science 101...define your terms and have supporting references. Questions about ‘rules’ have no meaning without context. ‘What is a strike out in baseball?’ ‘If Davy is at bat, it’s two misses but if his little brother, Johnny, is at bat, it’s four...

No idea. I’ve never changed a ferule on a cue. I change cue about every 14 years so no idea how a ferule could be isolated as a variable. I’d ‘guess ‘ a tip would be changed when the ferule was. How can one be sure the difference wasnt the tip? I’m amazed how many have powers to discern such...

I have the feeling even Ronnie was cheering on Brown. Ronnie doesn’t want to lose to Trump, Selby, Robertson, etc. Too much rivalry and history.. and fans keep a scorecard of wins and losses over the years.

That shot is extra perfect because it was ‘so casual’. Efren see things on the table that the rest of us are oblivious to. Ronnie O'Sullivan does this in Snooker. They can look at the layout and come up with alternate strategies.

Just gorgeous. I want to put Saran Wrap on the tables and post a cleaning lady as a guard. A big sign should be posted: ‘Have you washed your hands?’ Hitting balls on new Snooker cloth is a luxury rarely experience.

A lot of drama. I just got home and watched the last few frames I had taped. . A nailbiter. Congratulations to Brown. No easy matches as he beat players of higher rank at every round. He defeats two world champions and now gets to face third, John Higgins, by qualifying for this weeks...

When we play Snooker the bridge is used as a ‘necessity’. That’s it. If there is any behaviour outside the spirit of play then the game is forfeited. When there is no referee then the onus is on the shooter to decide if a foul or not. There is no discussion of rules. Rules are discussed only...

There are two pool halls close to where I live. Same owner. They recloth a couple tables each month. Tables are not ‘reserved ‘ but regular serious players know which tables to use. Most dabblers wouldn’t notice. At our Royal Legion the Snooker and pool table are reclothed about every six...
