    Robertson - Wakelin Crucible

    This probably should post in snooker forum, but my questions can be answered by any cue groups. The match is best 19 with Wakelin 9 Robertson 8. In this frame Wakelin has 40 and Neal around 10. Robertson steps up to the table with cb around baulk, pots a red and the green. Plays position down...

    Meucci Leather Wrap

    I prefer leather over linen. Have had cues converted by local business, and I am pleased with their work. Having said that, I have friend with a Meucci looking to have similar work done. His cue looks to have linen wrap, but it has clear coat finish over the entire butt. Actually, you don’t even...

    Curious about 9 ball break

    Not sure if this has been covered before, if so then I apologize. I have played 60 years and with internet, watched cue sports for hours. Recently watched the first Masters 9 Ball Championship dated April 2001. Reyes and Strickland playing in final. It’s a race to 13 but my attention was...

    Curious and Just For Fun

    With all the shots, frames, and matches recorded over time, we have seen almost everything. Century breaks and 147's that were amazing. I am curious as to what the lowest score ever posted to a table run. I suppose 15 reds plus 15 yellows and remaining colors would total 72 points. The exact...

    Old Viking Cue?

    Friend sent me this old cue. He bought it new 1973 - 1974. He wasn't sure but thought maybe it was a Viking. I'm no collector, but that's how I remember some looked. Seems like their inlays often had a swirl in them. It has two shafts with matching collars. One is 12mm 32 in long and other is...

    Cue to Eye Position

    I watch more snooker than pool, and not sure where to post this... After watching Ronnie O'Sullivan videos, it looks like although he shoots right handed, his cue is inline with his left eye. He is not alone. Selby and a few others do this as well. I have to wonder how this came about. Natural...

    Willie Blade Cues

    After looking under the "CLASSIFIEDS" I am curious as to the 'Willie Blade' cues. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience about these cues... their performance, quality, and reputation? Kind of looking for something that's maybe a little different and the more I look at these the prettier they...

    UK Pool Tour Rule

    I posted this on the Eurotour forum w/ no response, so I thought I'd ask here for an answer. (I looked online for an answer, but no luck) Watching a UK Tour match with basically their version of 8 ball, and saw something I have never seen in any kind of cue game. Player breaks and runs down to...

    UK Pool Tour rule

    I'm from the states, so be kind. Watching a U.K. Pool .Tour match and saw something I have never seen in any kind of cue game. Player breaks and runs down to the 8/black ball and misses shape. He can see his ball, but doesn't have a clear pocket. He shoots cue ball into black ball into...

    Role question... Rail snooker

    Curious as to what happens when the cue ball is frozen to a corner rail and the incoming player cannot directly shoot at the next appropriate ball? Rules say the cushion cannot snooker CB. Does he HAVE to hit ball on? What if he misses/fouls? Does the next players have the option to have balls...

    Ball Spotting and Strategy

    I must admit I haven't read the rules to European Snooker, but I played 30-40 years in various US smalltowns, so I'm somewhat familiar with the game. I watch matches of the Euro league, and once in awhile I see something that's different so I wish to ask about a couple of things. 1) I watched a...
