So, watching a match today played by two of the best pool players in the world, Sanchez and Gorst. Sanchez was snookered so played deliberate foul, but knocked the second ball on, to a un-pottable posisition. What happens next, and does that cost the other guy any other punishment?

I've just read that the racking position has changed, and now the 9 ball is on the spot, rather than the 1 ball. I understand, why, and that it was the professionals players that took it forward. My question is, has it now become standard in all 9 ball pool games, or only in certain...

If the average pool table is 8' and you're playing 9 ball, and you're after putting the 1 ball, and wing ball in the pockets on the break. Would the pack aiming point be different on a 7' table or a 9' table please? I ask because I'm assuming all the games I watch are played on an 8', and all...

I expect this question has been asked before, but I've not found out much doing a search. So, is it really necessary to hit the pack so hard on the break, do you do it, and do you use top, middle or bottom on the cue ball? It seems by watching You-Tube a small minority can strike less hard, but...

Can anyone tell me what all the fuss is about with these very expensive cue tips? I did read some place that Efren Reyes used Elk Master most of the time? And some of the chalk is pricey, is it worth that much. Just asking, no criticism at all?

If there is a spot on the pool table, is the 8 ball set behind this or on it please? In Nine ball is the 9 ball sat on that spot on racking please??

If your not to bothered about buying a collectable cue, either old, or with very expensive fittings. Would a Players Purex low deflection cue be classed as having a decent track record, and a decent stick for a beginner? I've seen one I like, at a price I can afford ( still expensive however)...

You cannot fail to see if you watch old pool videos, as I do. That many of the greatest players of all time, rarely get fully down on their shots. The older players that names are often spoken in hushed tones, have their heads way off the cue, but still play at the highest level. So does it...
