    INVERSE 9 BALL - a new twist

    How's this for a mod on 9 ball rules that tries to remove some of the more unwanted characteristics of the game like slop, luck and cheap snookers. Sort of like turning the 9 ball rules inside out, so I have called it inverse 9 ball. ***************************** INVERSE 9-BALL Same basic...

    Every mechanic out here is snooker and UK pool oriented, I want to set up a competition spec 9-ball table :( Can't find anyone that knows what K-66, Simonis 860 or Granito Basalt is. I have found a used 9 foot brunswick, but I don't trust the dealer to set it up as he doesn't even know what...
