    My 10' Centennial Snooker Table had 3 1/2" Corners and 4" sides: and the balls were smaller 2 1/8":grin: but it was a lot of fun playing 8 Ball and rotation as well as Kelly Pool. My current 12 footer has 3 1/4" corners and 3 3/4" sides and let me tell you 8 Ball and Rotation just ain't the...

    Awesome!

    Are you sure you want to play 2 1/16" balls? My 10' Brunswick Centennial (used to have) was shipped with 2 1/8" balls and it had 3 1/2" corners and 4" sides and my 6 x 12 plays 2 1/16" and it has 3 1/4" corners and 3 3/4" sides. Maybe someone here knows if ball size is a function of pocket...

    Ash vs Maple -attributes

    I like the heavier weight, I think I cue more accurately and find it easier to lighten up the hit when necessary. My golf game sucks but I do better with heavier irons and stiff shafts so it is a carry over I guess. To heck with the pups I'll go for the adult in hopes of a coat:D Wity- I was...

    Ash vs Maple -attributes

    I searched the forum for Ash vs Maple shafts but did not get a 'hit' and also just ash and just maple shafts but again no 'hit'. I apologize in advance if this subject has been beaten to death but I would like to know the merits of ash or maple as a cue shaft. My thinking would be that maple...

    Cues for guests - Elite??

    What is a source for Dufferin snooker cues? - as I understand it Dufferin (a Canadian company) is out of business at least as far as tables go.

    What Make of Table? What make of table are they playing on? The pockets look more forgiving than a Riley or BCE - the rail rubber does not go in after the curve

    cloth

    I put Strachan 6811 Tournament Gold cloth on my 5 x 10 when I set it up. I thought it was a little slow but it probably was from the old original rail rubber. I never ironed it (do not have an iron) and I never blocked it just brushed and vacuumed it. It would probably have played faster if i...
