I’d rather not at this time as I’ve had a couple of offers for the set. Thanks for the interest though I will be in touch if none of the current offers convert into a sale.

Another set up for sale - Banking With The Beard (2 DVDs) and Banks That Don’t Go But Do (2 DVDs). They retailed for $100 back when I bought them. I’m asking $60 shipped. The buyer pays transaction fees. PM me if any questions.

Up for sale are Jimmy Reid’s “Almost All I Know” (3 DVDs), “The Art of 8-ball” (1 DVD) and “No Time for Negative” (1 DVD). These are 40 years of Jimmy’s pool playing experience condensed into over 8 hours of instructional material. There is a shedload of info both for a beginner and advanced...

Ash shafts with conical taper and brass ferrules has been the way in snooker since 1930’s. There has been a lot of talk recently about titanium ferrules, which give lower deflection/throw and last longer. Both Jimmy White and John Higgins swear by them but it will take some time I feel before...

Agreed. Percentage of wins in one/two/three/etc visits would be more appropriate. If anyone has seen these stats anywhere please share

Selby is a great break-builder but I’m not sure that table proves a lot. Many on that list start playing exhibition snooker once the frame is safe or a century has been made. Mark Williams never bothered to continue potting beyond the snookers required stage. Doesn’t make him a poor...

Terribly sorry to wake up to this news. I never met him but heard him commentate a number of Accustats matches. Tony had great passion for the game. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Tony Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Same goes for many actors. No one in their sane mind would say (I hope) that The Revenant is DiCaprio’s best performance. To me Newman’s best work was The Verdict where he played a barrister (or whatever it’s called stateside) with a drinking problem. What a great movie! The Hustler is a close...

I must say I enjoyed watching Selby play in the finals. He wasn’t afraid to take risky shots on (even when his long pot success rate dropped in the last session), nor did he drag out any hopeless frames. Murphy’s long potting is the sight to behold for sure (100% in two out of four sessions I...

I’m sure if he had an easy snooker he would have played it. Equally Selby’s long potting dropped to 10% in the last session so Saun might have had a decent chance at winning the safety battle. I can’t criticise him for going for the pot. It’s always better to lose by missing the pot than by...

McManus said that quite a few players do it on the tour so apparently not a foul in snooker. I don’t like this being allowed. The bridge has to be used for its intended purpose (of a cue resting in the bridge head). Anything that extends the player’s fingers should be banned. Sent from my...

Because he slows down and drags out matches, the end justifies the means kinda guy. His gamesmanship is quite poor, too. Jabbing at Stuart for the run of the balls when he himself fluked three snookers in a row in the deciding frame is a bit disingenuous, to say the least. I’m sure Frank...

Not to mention his fundamentals! Watching the guy play makes me seasick lol. He’s swaying in all directions when down on the shot. An absolute mystery how he keeps potting them balls! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Selby is boring as hell. I’d rather have needles in my eyes than watch him play especially when he’s losing. Hope Stuart gets the two frames he needs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

and then the wheels came off. Wow Murphy was totally unplayable. Losing 10-4 and winning 13 out of the next 15 frames is just incredible. 99% pot success in the evening session (100% long pot success). Haven’t seen Shaun play this good for a long long time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, Selby totally outplayed him. To lose with a session to spare is pretty embarrassing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The poor kid was a (distant) family member if memory serves. A totally despicable human being!

It’s quite strange that in this scenario the striker doesn’t get any additional points for pocketing the free ball as the ball on stays down. Don’t like this rule a single bit but it occurs so rarely that it probably doesn’t matter Edit. I meant to quote Bob’s post but it didn’t get pulled...

Thanks for the advice. I will give it a go
