Well me being a snooker player I probably carry less than what some pool players carry. Here is what I take around with me: Two cubes of chalk (Triangle Green chalk) A 'Q-rite' rest adaptor A small piece of wire wool (great for cleaning ferrules and cue joints) Sandpaper for cue tips (NOT the...

I have suggested the PayPal option to the co-author, Peter Rook. You will have to see what happens.

I think I know what you mean. I think if they always tried to escape from a snooker by going the easiest escape the top pros would probably rarely miss the escape, but would almost always leave a chance for his opponent. I think they are trying not only to hit the ball 'on' but leave it safe...

I know what you mean. Did you order it in the end?

DKhan: A miss cannot be called if either player needs snookers before the foul was played or as a result of the foul. For example, if blue, pink and black are left at the end of a frame (18 points on the table) and Player A is snookered and is 18 points behind, a miss CANNOT be called as Player...

For those who are interested in the rules of snooker and English billiards would really benefit from buying the Billiards and Snooker Referees' Handbook. It goes through each and every rule and explains it in full detail. I honestly think that however long you've been playing the game you will...

The actual definition of a 'Miss' has been in the rules since at least around 1936 but was rarely used. The 'Foul and a Miss' was used by professionals before it was introduced in the rules for all players to use in September 1995. And also, as was mentioned before in this thread, there was a...

Nic Barrow - the world's leading snooker coach - has some new snooker coaching videos on www.youtube.com/nicbarrow

Thanks for posting the video. I'm glad that Ronnie's outburst has been almost forgotten about now. On the video it said that 100 million people watched Ding Junhui play in a final in 2005, well it was the China Open so that explains why people were watching in China! :D Seriously though, the...

A great find, thanks so much Scaramouche. :)

I hope to purchase these DVDs. Could somebody tell me who the narrator is? I guess it's the same person throughout the DVDs, but he is speaking in the sample clips on the website and I'm wondering who it is. Thanks.

Highlights here from last event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyIcfcpe7wQ&feature=channel_page. There are links from there to other highlights. This tournament is only shown on the internet, it's shown on betting websites, but the website in my last post is an alternative. Some more info...

This is great for the interest of snooker in china. Thanks for the link.

The white stick on spots are not made anymore, they only sell black spots. Even though you may very well find white spots, they won't be of the usual matieral that they were.

I am from the Snooker world and I use the open bridge all the time. I rarely use the closed loop bridge because I feel it can restrict the movment of the cue on the forward stroke and also it is in the eye line a little. It can be good to use if you are used to it though. I naturally shoot with...

Good information there Colin...
