    cue help

    Get in contact with one of the cue makers. I'd recommend Keith Josey from Virginia US, as he's more than skillfull and trustable and I've understood he has Predator shafts at his work shop. http://www.joseycues.com/

    Thinking About Buying Universal Smart Shaft Any Testimonys! Good Or Bad?

    I'm playing with USS and I really love it. For me it has given by far the best hit and feel from the low-squirt shafts. It has more squirt than Predator, but then again much more feel, and the squirt is not too bad either, as I used to play with stiff custom which had squirt A LOT.. I'd say...

    IPT - I am almost ready to give them another chance

    This is quite much what I meant, I just don't know so many examples. I also feel, that Jay has something 'special' against KT, but from the poolworld around you Jay, you could easily find guys worse than KT is.. Jay, we need you. Roy is forgiving now, can you at least consider it also...

    a dream come true

    Hu, I'm really sorry about "the log -thing". Believe me, I wasn't referring to you. After posting it, I was wishing you wouldn't take it like you did, but I really was referring to the posts and topics which have been here earlier considering this issue. I didn't get involved then, as I thought...

    IPT - I am almost ready to give them another chance

    I have the same problem and I understand this point of your's ....... up to a point. If this really is so, it makes me wonder why we are all so hyped up at the autumn as there's US Open coming. Isn't BB also convicted man and isn't he still owing money to some players? I think he is. At last...

    a dream come true

    It's a good point what you say here, but first, in Snooker, you have to learn to control the cue ball within a half inch accuracy, to be able to use that small area. If you're out of line, you cannot not go similarly 'around the world', like you can in Pool. I will quit now talking about this...

    a dream come true

    It might take too much time to find good enough examples, but I found this clip with "10 Shots". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oZ0freyR2E You can see how ridiculously easy they would be in Pool, actually all of them are hangers in pool, but in Snooker you get into Top ten of the World...

    a dream come true

    Will, It's difficult to say anything from here as I'd also need to see those tables they have. Anyway, it sounds to me that they are 'real' snooker tables, 12 foot and staff, imported from GB, but the pockets must be 'standard' club pockets. I don't have time now to find those measurements, but...

    a dream come true

    Well I know much of both, and what I can tell you is that general american opinion about what kind of game Snooker is, is far from the woods. Maybe Fatboy, if this table what he gets is really gonna be EXACTLY the same as the official tournament table is, can invite you and others try it. My...

    a dream come true

    To add something here; when top pros play with those tournament snooker tables (you can see from You Tube many clips), balls which are frozen to the cushion are (almost) impossible and seldom you can see anybody attacking to those. There's a good reason for it. In Pool, tightening the pockets...

    a dream come true

    Huh, did he really say that? I don't want to bash this guy, he's a champion player in Pool and wants to promote it well, but for sure his ideas about Snooker are from the woods. I remember him admitting that all his long runs in Straight Pool are made with big pockets. That's why IMHO all...

    a dream come true

    Yeah, I know there's 'Snooker' tables in US, but there really is a huge difference compared to the tables they play for example in the World Championships.

    a dream come true

    Good to hear you chose the REAL snooker table, I doubt there are many if any in USA. The difference is huge, the REAL table (with tight pockets and the right kind of cut with'em) plays so much more difficult. Maybe you can invite John Schmidt to play there, I'd bet the centuries (100+ breaks)...

    Bucktooth vs. Fatboy: The Video

    One more thing; late autumn when this woofing had reached it's peak, I had been sure for a long time that there will not be any kind of game between these two. At least not in pool. That was my read, was I right? And Fatboy, this is nothing against you, just honest observation I had. I'm sure...

    Bucktooth vs. Fatboy: The Video

    Excluding the "jackoff" (which probably actually is not pointed to anyone particularly, but to the woofers generally who only woofs but never plays), this post had lots of sense. tap tap! Btw, have you ever seen Efren woofing around? What about Yang? Shane?

    Am I the only one......

    I believe you my friend. It was easy to see how much fun and excitement all those guys around had, also the hype couldn't come from nowhere. Of course the sound would have made a major difference, but I must say in all honesty, that tooth didn't ran as 'fast' as it was told. For example, which...

    I really hope Shane will win the race-to-100, so we can without too much mumbling start to wait for the Shane - Orcullo match.. Heh, okey, sorry, first things first..

    Am I the only one......

    Smokeman didn't post anything about Fatboy, he just wondered that wasn't this hype and the story how it was told, much more dramatic than the video which showed how it really was. And yes, Pancakeman is right..
