Just a couple last things to fully understand the rules of 8 ball. situation came up tonight with my friend... If I am stripes and I call corner pocket (I know its a shot call game and you only have to call the ball and pocket with no regard on how it gets there as long as it goes in) , and I...

SO this just came up about 20 min ago in my home game snooker table 8 ball match. (I came back from 4-1 down to win 5-4 in a race to 5 :) ) I am on the 8 ball and i have him pinned in the corner. I snaped this pic before he shot those are the only balls left on table Your thoughts

Dont want to start a whole new thread so Ill ask here. I have a couple questions about CTE I get the basics of lining up edge of CB to 'a' 'b' or 'c' on the OB. BUT... what about snooker cues that are 10mm? what about using a 10mm with smaller 2 1/16 balls? also, when lining up the cue stick...

ok someone else commented on it in the youtube comments.. It appears to be super super close or if not at the same time. So benefit goes to the shooter. tough call but right call

So I am curious about situation at 17:38 Shouldnt this be a foul and BIH??? no contact of the rail after object ball contact?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ESEu0-hAQ thanks

THIS I have been having a heck of a time with my old school russian neighbor on the rules. He is a old school bar playing guy and it took over a week to get him to come around to real pool rules. He wanted to call every little kiss etc. He still has trouble with the 'must hit a rail AFTER...

nice.. a fellow squash player on here? :) I play A level squash and was a club pro for a bit I was going to suggest Racquetball's Kane Waselenchuk's 137 match winning streak. wow

ok coming a little clearer now. and can you shoot back table on a BIH behind the head string?

great thanks.. so far left down is 15th ball and top left to right is cue ball . go to where they intersect and bam. only thing thats a little hazy still is the asterisk on the last one about interfering ? I have never been good with instruction lol should help

Sorry im still confused then How do you read that chart exactly? having problems following the rows and columns.

So I seen this illustration. But in this video at 26:50 Mike says the object ball goes on the head spot if its within the rack.? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI9BJqyUhrI Maybe I am not reading the chart correctly or something? Thanks

Awesome.. Well said. Thanks!

Only other thing I can think of right now is... Lets say you snooker your opponent really really tough. Nearly impossible to hit an on ball from. I think I remember seeing something about only being able to try no more than 3 or 5 times and if they cant hit the ON ball then they are out of it...

So he came back today and rolled some balls with him.. he also measured. Put a small shim under somewhere.. didnt see where he put it. But as of now everything seems pretty fair all around the playing area. The 4-6 inches is now within acceptable range of a $100 used table. Fairly straight...

ya. Ill post an update Tuesday night after he leaves and hopefully corrects this issue, Right now it looks like it is pretty much a wood playing surface. not slate. Its weird because he checked all the slate pieces before felting table and apparently all was good then. No carpet being used so...

sorry still new to it all... kick? you mean kick off the rail into an object ball?

great thanks. So just nominate a color and if it goes in, it goes in. (like 9 ball) Ya not sure about using the FAAM rule still here at home. The problem I see is if Player A shots and misses a red and hits the pink and then some more reds.. if I only move the cue ball back and leave the other...

here is a quick go pro of both sides of table. As you can see the first one is pretty decent but not perfect. If I shot it a little harder it would for sure sit right back on the tip again but bringing it down near the foot of the table demonstrates some serious leakage to the side. tried a new...

Thanks for all the advice so far. It is on hardwood laminate by the way Well 'All Pro' is in the title of the business lol Ill take a video perhaps of the roll to show you guys Check back in a bit to see

So I bought a Brunswick 8 foot Bristol (snooker) table just over a week ago in the classifieds for just 100 Canadian. Pretty decent shape actually. Pretty solid score for a 8 foot 3/4 inch slate table. I hired a local installer to come over and set it up and install a new Champ. teflon cloth...
