    AZ Billiards app

    Is the AZB app available for iphones? I can't seem to be able to find it on my UK appstore. My patience with Tapatalk is wearing thin - it freezes and crashes all the time 🤬🤬🤬

    A snooker situation - thoughts?

    Thank you for a prompt reply. Makes perfect sense - the yellow becomes the "ball on" once the final red is potted. Pretty unlikely in real life, I agree

    A snooker situation - thoughts?

    Thanks a bunch! I've been playing and following snooker all my life but have never come across this scenario. Every day a school day!

    A snooker situation - thoughts?

    Dennis Taylor in one of the matches of the 2021 WSC (don't recall which one) mentioned that it is possible to legally pocket the same coloured ball on three consecutive shots. Ken Doherty then spills the beans that it's the yellow ball in a free ball situation. I'm sure he's right but this got...

    Snooker’s Mark Williams defends his break tactics

    Pros never do that intentionally as percentages are not there. They always try to find the baulk cushion (head rail in Ameri-speak) with the CB. Occasionally, when they hit the rack too thin or use too much running side the CB will creep up behind one of the baulk colours but that’s never the...

    Snooker’s Mark Williams defends his break tactics

    A break-off in snooker is a safety shot by definition so it’s mind-boggling even to contemplate it being banned. Nah, isn’t going to happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Snooker’s Mark Williams defends his break tactics

    I’m pretty sure I saw Alex Higgins and Steve Davis use this break back in the 80’s. Jimmy White has finessed it here :) - Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2021 World Snooker Championship

    Ronnie overthought the shot in the deciding frame where he lost position on the blue. He could have stunned across for the red in the middle but decided to screw back round it. He put some unwanted LHS on the cue ball and it checked off the cushion leaving only a long off straight red which he...

    2021 World Snooker Championship

    Apparently, the chief investigator concluded that Higgins was an innocent "rabbit in the headlight", blissfully unaware of the dealings of his then manager, Pat Mooney. They charged Higgins with failing to report an approach about illicit gambling. Here's an interview with the chief...

    2021 World Snooker Championship

    I believe it wasn’t an isolated case so quite surprising he got banned for 6 months only. They look at unusual betting patterns leading to the match and the player’s behaviour during the match (surprising misses, poor positional play etc). If there are irregularities they will go on to...

    2021 World Snooker Championship

    Same happened to Stephen Lee. He’s such a huge talent. He’s blessed with the smoothest stroke I’ve ever seen. Sadly got involved in games rigging which got him banned from competition until he turns 50. A big loss for the game. Btw - John goes by Higgins The Riggins this side of the pond. My...

    Why are pool balls round?

    I saw some flat balls in a museum once - designed for sailors, don’t roll off that much. A weird game, though but better than none if you’re a sailor I guess. I have a better question - if balls are round why tables are rectangular? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sick Shots

    One of the sickest draw shots I’ve ever seen but that’s Corey for you! For me it tops the one posted earlier. Go to around 2:30 mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dirty hands

    That’s really weird. I’d suggest to make a video of yourself at the table. Once you’ve noticed the blackening again go stop the video and watch it. It may give you a clue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best bank dvd to learn basic banks. John brumbacks?

    The Beard had made two banking DVDs too which I thought were pretty good: Banking with the Beard and Banks that Don’t Go But Do. I’m thinning out my collection of pool stuff (courtesy of my wife) and will be happy to part with my copies if of interest. Just shoot me a pm Sent from my iPhone...
