Thanks. Needless to say, I haven't read all the fine print involved. My experience in central US is 40-50 years ago, cue sports were in every small town throughout state. Snooker was very popular, but different rules applied to different areas. (You better learn fast) Today, only handful places...

As an American growing up with American snooker, I enjoy all the players and matches on the Euro/ Asian venues. I have learned many of the differences in the rules, but occasionally see something I don't understand. For instance, in Frame 6 of Bingham/Trump match, Bingham snookers Trump on the...

No. For the plane to take off lift has to be created on the wings. Even though the wheels are turning, the plane is stationary and there is no air moving over the wings.

A background like many others. In high school in the 60's and managed the town pool hall through high school. Played pool,ring games, and snooker in every small Midwestern town miles around. As an adult moved a few times and in the mid 80's came to settle in a town of 800 people about 15 miles...

In 9b, the 9 is racked in the middle. The head ball is put on foot spot. No pattern racking and breaker can hit any ball he chooses. (Some people don't hit the head ball in 8b) A certain number of balls (3,4,whatever) have to go up table or opponent has option to take table as is or give back...

I like your ideas about changing 1p. My brother and Ihave also talked about changes needed to various games. Some of these have been discussed before. 1p needs a shot clock and a more severe penalty for fouls. Something like 1f = 2 balls, 2f = 5 balls, and 3f = loss of game. The current penalty...

I carry mine across handlebars and works fine. No interference of any kind. Looks like either tar straps or zip ties on top of tail light to top of shock absorber. They also have bungee cords with plastic hooks which shouldn't scratch anything. Also use rags at contact points for friction on...

I watch more snooker than pool, and not sure where to post this... After watching Ronnie O'Sullivan videos, it looks like although he shoots right handed, his cue is inline with his left eye. He is not alone. Selby and a few others do this as well. I have to wonder how this came about. Natural...

After looking under the "CLASSIFIEDS" I am curious as to the 'Willie Blade' cues. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience about these cues... their performance, quality, and reputation? Kind of looking for something that's maybe a little different and the more I look at these the prettier they...

I see now where Hill sits down and Martin begins. You have to watch for it. I assume the table is still open for Martin selects 'reds'. As I said, I am not familiar with these rules, but you do bring two rules to view which I have never seen before. 1) Hill potted his nominated ball, accidently...

Mick Hill Vs Steve Martin UK Pool Tour Live Stream This is the match. Score goes 3 to 3 and game 7 is the particular game I'm referring to. It's about 45 minutes into the video. I watched it again, and I must me missing something. All I see is he shoots, misses, and shoots again. Opponent...

I posted this on the Eurotour forum w/ no response, so I thought I'd ask here for an answer. (I looked online for an answer, but no luck) Watching a UK Tour match with basically their version of 8 ball, and saw something I have never seen in any kind of cue game. Player breaks and runs down to...

I'm from the states, so be kind. Watching a U.K. Pool .Tour match and saw something I have never seen in any kind of cue game. Player breaks and runs down to the 8/black ball and misses shape. He can see his ball, but doesn't have a clear pocket. He shoots cue ball into black ball into...

As I get older, I find myself not having the patience for the game. I could see the foul penalty being more severe, such as 2,5 balls for the first two fouls (or any number bigger than 1) and/or possibly loss of game on 3rd foul. A shot clock could also be a possibility.

Nielsens billiards supply from Springfield il. They are easy to work with and all the work i have seen has been top notch. Go to there website or give them a call.

Curious as to what happens when the cue ball is frozen to a corner rail and the incoming player cannot directly shoot at the next appropriate ball? Rules say the cushion cannot snooker CB. Does he HAVE to hit ball on? What if he misses/fouls? Does the next players have the option to have balls...

Curious whether you have found any info on these tables. I agree, they look well made and with a few upgrades could be a real player. I talked with them about a month ago as my son-in-law was in the market. I found them very nice to talk with ( John, I believe) and if the decision were mine, I...

Used to play American snooker a lot 40+ years ago. Every town had a room w/ tables. Played many different formats but if you had multiple players, two of my favorites were 1) three handed partner... like 4 handed only one player had to be his own partner. Each game rotate the single player, so...

Maybe been talked before, don't know... But, remodeled basement with 7' ceiling. Putting in an 8 footer and curious about a light that'll work good lighting the table. Our local room has nice Diamonds but their lights need improvements. They use one long stained shade w/ 3 bulbs. Even though...

I must admit I haven't read the rules to European Snooker, but I played 30-40 years in various US smalltowns, so I'm somewhat familiar with the game. I watch matches of the Euro league, and once in awhile I see something that's different so I wish to ask about a couple of things. 1) I watched a...
