    WEPF to phase out own ruleset in favour of international rules for English pool

    Press release below: https://www.wepf.org/pressnew.php?art=36 World rules will no longer be an official competitive ruleset from 2023 onwards. Could partly be in favour to draw in an audience familiar with a more Americanised ruleset. I, personally, would have liked to see them adopt WPA...

    What tips and chalk is everyone using?

    To preface this, I'm not much of a snooker player. I do dabble in the odd frame from time to time should the opportunity present itself, but my passion is English pool. I thought I'd pose the question, nonetheless, since snooker cues and English pool cues are essentially the same sticks with...

Some players care about a finessed cut break than having to drive the cue ball...

    Cue make and specialisations?

    Always a fan of cue threads, so I'm curious to know what your cue is. Feel free to post the cue make and specialisations below. Pictures are encouraged. I use a custom made Peradon. It's a one-piece at 57" long, 17.5oz in weight, and the tip is 9mm.

    What's in your case?

    I love seeing equipment threads, and there hasn't seem to have been one like this in a while, so I thought I'd make one. So what's in your case? Essentials? Funky equipment? Anything's welcome. Here's my pool cue case: 1: Cue (Peradon Custom • 57" • 9mm Elk Pro • 17.5oz) 2: One-piece aluminium...
