I was just pointing out my views about the fact that the tables are close together, that's all :) As reguards getting involved in a match up, I think that if anything, there should've been a referee present at every match and that there be no need for any audience members to try and keep the...

#5, although I would have to immigrate first :) lol Willie

There should always be plenty of space between the tables to allow ALL players to shoot freely without any traffic problems that would interrupt a player's rhythm or concentration There is nothing as damn annoying as getting into a nice rhythm and running balls, when all of a sudden you gotta...

Corey's firing 'em in nicely :), thanks for the update Dennis :thumbup: Any other big runs so far? :) Willie

Yeah, I hear ya on that one :), Niels is always a big contender for any pool tournament, he's got the stroke, the ability and he's definitely got the hunger to win :), and of course, Straight Pool seems to bring out the best in Niels' game, and so, it wouldn't suprise me if he started turning it...

When it comes to Straight pool, like him or not, Mike Sigel is always a contender for the title, as he has a vast amount of knowledge of straight pool and a player of his calibre would know only too well how to make the most of the experience and knowledge he has, and put it to very good use :)...

It's great to see that Niels is getting fired up already, which is a very good win, especially against Danny Harriman, who's definitely right up there with the rest of the top guns of straight pool :) Thanks for posting this Roy :thumbup: Willie

Lol, I was thinking that as well, but I didn't say anything because I thought everyone would've already know or remembered about that :) Willie

Either Ash or Maple is used for snooker cues, but Ash is the most regularly used wood for snooker cues, at least in the UK anyways :) Ash is a very solid type wood and there isn't that much flex in a ash shaft, than there is in a maple shaft, but then again, the kind of taper used in snooker...

Group 4 & 5 are tough groups as far as I can see and group 8, aint too far behind either :) My picks are;- 1. Ortman, Hopkins, Chamberlain, Burrows 2. Hohmann, Sigel, Moore, Williams/Gottier 3. See, Schmidt, Wilkie, Jentsch (I have a feeling that Jentsch will put up quite a hell of a...

You could definitely count me in on that one too :thumbup: That is one of the beauties about straight pool, it's a game where it is better to learn how to run balls and have good concentration, but also being able to learn good rack management, without trying to blast the stack into dust :) lol...

You've kinda got me wondering the same thing :) lol Willie

Well, is there anyone up for trying to beat Cranfield' HR of 768? :)... that's some serious hard hittin' high runs :) I've e-mailed the guy who has the list, to ask him to add Danny Harriman's 280 to the list and also to update Nick Van Den Berg's new high run to 293 :) They are some serious...

I'm glad that you have said this BP, as I thought that high runs may have been a little easier, purely because of what you have mentioned that there is a little more room for the balls to move around, so that there isn't as much traffic problems in the rack area, but again I imagine that as you...

Hey Guys :) With the chances of finding a 10ft pool table being slim to very slim, I was wondering if it is possible to convert a 10' snooker table, into a pool table, by recutting the pockets, adjusting the rail rubbers, adding pocket facings, and of so, how much would this normally cost? :)...

Sounds good Dennis :), I'll keep an eye out on the thread over the next week or so :) Willie

No worries buddy :thumbup:, I've got that book also and I couldn't find any details of it either :) lol Willie

Hey Guys :) I have been pondering about how much it would be cool to see a straight pool match being played on a 10ft pool table, like they used to be played on years ago by the legeneds of the game, like Crane, Mosconi, Carras, etc, and decided that it would be worth asking if any of you guys...

Thanks buddy :thumbup: Does anyone know what was the ball count of Art Cranfield's high run? :) Willie

If I could find a house to rent in the UK, that has got a good sized basement, I would happily turn that into a pool room, but no such luck :( Willie
