    Snooker Club in Springfield, VA

    Do they have a website? Do you have the phone number? Mnorwood sent me a message about this place, but I haven't added it yet to http://www.findsnooker.com/Virginia.html. Nice pics, by the way. $15 sounds pricey, but for an upscale room with other attractions it's not unheard of. Is that a...

    Snooker In The USA

    We have only one 12' table in the Boston area, but our ladder league has introduced a number of players to the game. I think the best way to bring back interest in the game is to make an effort to introduce new people to it whenever possible. Starting a league can be a lot of work, but I'm sure...

    Snooker Tables I have seen, known, loved, and sometimes loathed

    Cool. I'll give them a call. There are a few other McMenamin's that I need to call in the near future. I agree with Cameron. I have a set of 2-1/8" Aramith snooker balls, and they play funny on a 9' pool table. They're the wrong size relative to the rails, and they're too small relative to...

    Is there a book or DVD on recognizing patterns?

    I'll second the recommendations above: get one of the classic instruction books on the game, buy a DVD and watch it over and over (and try the shots yourself), find an instructor/mentor, and practice, practice, practice. Shoot positional drills. Set reasonable goals for improvement. Any of...

    Thanks! Before we flew back to Boston I wish I'd had time to stop by Classic Billiards, but it was a bit too far out of the way. If you haven't visited Sam's Billiards before, you might want to check it out. There was a good crowd there.

    Another nice-looking cue with purpleheart, Chuck. The elk looks nice, too. I'm sure that whoever picks it up will appreciate having it. Good luck!

    eyeballing

    Cool! I don't think I'll do better than 3.53. I'm using a laptop screen and standard mouse, and in my case plain old misjudgment certainly swamped screen/mouse errors.

    Stragetic-safties, or splitting hairs?

    There are numerous examples of specific situations one could give from various cue games such as 8-ball, 9-ball, 1-pocket, straight pool, and snooker, but I gather you're looking for general principles or examples of shots that are nearly certain to be advantageous because the escape requires a...
